4. First aid measures

Description of first aid measures
General: In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. If unconscious, place in recovery position and seek medical advice
Eye contact: Remove contact lenses, irrigate copiously with clean, fresh water, holding the eyelids apart for at least 10
minutes and seek immediate medical advice Remove contact lenses, irrigate copiously with clean, fresh water, holding
the eyelids apart for at least 10 minutes and seek immediate medical advice
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Keep person warm and at rest. If not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory
arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel.
Skin contact: Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water or use recognised
skin cleanser. Do NOT use solvents or thinners.
Ingestion: If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or label. Keep person warm and at
rest. Do NOT induce vomiting
Protection of first-aiders No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. If it is
suspected that fumes are still present, the rescuer should wear an appropriate mask or self-contained breathing
apparatus. It may be dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

There are no data available on the mixture itself. The mixture has been assessed following the conventional method of
the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and is classified for toxicological properties accordingly. See Sections 2 and 3
for details. Exposure to component solvent vapour concentrations in excess of the stated occupational exposure limit
may result in adverse health effects such as mucous membrane and respiratory system irritation and adverse effects on
the kidneys, liver and central nervous system. Symptoms and signs include headache, dizziness, fatigue, muscular
weakness, drowsiness and, in extreme cases, loss of consciousness. Solvents may cause some of the above effects by
absorption through the skin. Repeated or prolonged contact with the mixture may cause removal of natural fat from the
skin, resulting in non-allergic contact dermatitis and absorption through the skin. If splashed in the eyes, the liquid may
cause irritation and reversible damage. Ingestion may cause nausea, diarrhea and vomiting. This takes into account,
where known, delayed and immediate effects and also chronic effects of components from short-term and long-term
exposurey oral, inhalation and dermal routes of exposure and eye contact.

Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Keep person warm and at rest. If not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory
arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel.
Skin contact: Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water or use recognised
skin cleanser. Do NOT use solvents or thinners.
Ingestion: If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or label. Keep person warm and at
rest. Do NOT induce vomiting.
Protection of first-aiders: No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. If it is
suspected that fumes are still present, the rescuer should wear an appropriate mask or self-contained breathing
apparatus. It may be dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation .

Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep
unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. In the case of aerosols being ruptured, care should be taken
due to the rapid escape of the pressurised contents and propellant. If a large number of containers are ruptured, treat
as a bulk material spillage according to the instructions in the clean-up section. Do not touch or walk through spilt
material. Shut off all ignition sources. No flares, smoking or flames in hazard area. Avoid breathing vapour or mist.
Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put on appropriate personal
protective equipment.

5. Firefighting measures
Extinguishing media, Suitable extinguishing media: Recommended: alcohol-resistant foam, CO₂, powders, water
spray
Unsuitable extinguishing media: Do not use water jet.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Extremely flammable aerosol. In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst, with the
risk of a subsequent explosion. Gas may accumulate in low or confined areas or travel a considerable distance to a
source of ignition and flash back, causing fire or explosion. Bursting aerosol containers may be propelled from a fire at
high speed. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. This material is harmful to aquatic life with long lasting
effects. Fire water contaminated with this material must be contained and prevented from being discharged to any
waterway, sewer or drain

Handling and Storage

Precautions for safe handling
Prevent the creation of flammable or explosive concentrations of vapours in air and avoid vapour concentrations higher
than the occupational exposure limits. In addition, the product should only be used in areas from which all naked lights
and other sources of ignition have been excluded. Electrical equipment should be protected to the appropriate standard.
Mixture may charge electrostatically: always use earthing leads when transferring from one container to another.
Operators should wear antistatic footwear and clothing and floors should be of the conducting type. Keep away from
heat, sparks and flame. No sparking tools should be used. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid the inhalation of
dust, particulates, spray or mist arising from the application of this mixture. Avoid inhalation of dust from sanding.
Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed. Put
on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Never use pressure to empty. Container is not a
pressure vessel. Always keep in containers made from the same material as the original one. Comply with the health
and safety at work laws. Do not allow to enter drains or watercourses. Information on fire and explosion protection
Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air.
When operators, whether spraying or not, have to work inside the spray booth, ventilation is unlikely to be sufficient to
control particulates and solvent vapour in all cases. In such circumstances they should wear a compressed air-fed
respirator during the spraying process and until such time as the particulates and solvent vapour concentration has fallen
below the exposure limits.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Page 4 of 4
 Store in accordance with local regulations.
Notes on joint storage

area. Keep away from heat and direct sunlight. Keep away from
sources of ignition. No smoking. Prevent unauthorised access.
Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and
kept upright to prevent
