General advice Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. Immediate medical attention is
required.
Inhalation Remove to fresh air. Aspiration into lungs can produce severe lung damage. If breathing
has stopped, give artificial respiration. Get medical attention immediately. Avoid direct
contact with skin. Use barrier to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If breathing is difficult,
(trained personnel should) give oxygen. Get immediate medical advice/attention. Delayed
pulmonary edema may occur.
Eye contact Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Keep
eye wide open while rinsing. Do not rub affected area. Remove contact lenses, if present
and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.
Skin contact Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated
clothes and shoes. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.
Ingestion Do NOT induce vomiting. Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Aspiration hazard if swallowed -
can enter lungs and cause damage. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below
hips to prevent aspiration. Get immediate medical advice/attention.
Self-protection of the first aider Remove all sources of ignition. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s)
involved, take precautions to protect themselves and prevent spread of contamination. Use
personal protective equipment as required. See section 8 for more information. Avoid direct
contact with skin. Use barrier to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Avoid contact with skin,
eyes or clothing.
4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Symptoms Difficulty in breathing. Coughing and/ or wheezing. Dizziness. Burning sensation. Inhalation
of high vapour concentrations may cause symptoms like headache, dizziness, tiredness,
nausea and vomiting. Causes serious eye irritation. May cause respiratory irritation.
Prolonged contact may cause redness and irritation.
4.3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Suitable Extinguishing Media Dry chemical. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Water spray. Alcohol resistant foam.
Unsuitable extinguishing media Do not scatter spilled material with high pressure water streams.
Specific hazards arising from the Risk of ignition. Keep product and empty container away from heat and sources of ignition.
chemical In the event of fire, cool tanks with water spray. Fire residues and contaminated fire
extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
Special protective equipment for Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full firefighting turnout
fire-fighters gear. Use personal protection equipment.
Personal precautions Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Use personal protective equipment as required. See
section 8 for more information. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Ensure adequate
ventilation. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. ELIMINATE all ignition sources
(no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). Pay attention to flashback. Take
precautionary measures against static discharges. All equipment used when handling the
product must be grounded. Do not touch or walk through spilled material.
Other information Ventilate the area. Refer to protective measures listed in Sections 7 and 8.
Environmental precautions Refer to protective measures listed in Sections 7 and 8. Prevent further leakage or spillage
if safe to do so. Prevent product from entering drains.
Methods for containment Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. A
vapour suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapours. Dyke far ahead of spill to collect
run-off water. Keep out of drains, sewers, ditches and waterways. Absorb with earth, sand
or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers for later disposal.
Methods for cleaning up Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Dam up. Soak up with inert
absorbent material. Pick up and transfer to properly labelled containers.
Prevention of secondary hazards Clean contaminated objects and areas thoroughly observing environmental regulations.
Reference to other sections See section 8 for more information. See section 13 for more information.
Advice on safe handling Use personal protection equipment. Avoid breathing vapours or mists. Keep away from
heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking. Use
grounding and bonding connection when transferring this material to prevent static
discharge, fire or explosion. Use with local exhaust ventilation. Use spark-proof tools and
explosion-proof equipment. Keep in an area equipped with sprinklers. Use according to
package label instructions. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety
practice. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using
this product. Take off contaminated clothing and wash it before reuse. In case of insufficient
ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.
