Restrictions on use : Refer to available product literature or ask your local Sales Representative for
restrictions on use and dose limits.
GHS Classification
Flammable liquids : Category 3
Skin irritation : Category 2
Eye irritation : Category 2A
Carcinogenicity : Category 2
Specific target organ toxicity : Category 3 (Respiratory system, Central Nervous System)
- single exposure
Aspiration hazard : Category 1
In case of eye contact : Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15
minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.
Get medical attention.
In case of skin contact : Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Use a mild
soap if available. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.
If inhaled : Remove to fresh air. Treat symptomatically. Get medical attention if symptoms
occur.
Protection of first-aiders : In event of emergency assess the danger before taking action. Do not put
yourself at risk of injury. If in doubt, contact emergency responders. Use
personal protective equipment as required.

and effects, both acute and
delayed
Hazardous combustion : Decomposition products may include the following materials: Carbon oxides
products
Specific extinguishing : Use water spray to cool unopened containers. Fire residues and contaminated
methods fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local
regulations. In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes.
Personal precautions, : Ensure adequate ventilation. Remove all sources of ignition. Ensure clean-up is
protective equipment and conducted by trained personnel only. Refer to protective measures listed in
emergency procedures sections 7 and 8.
Environmental precautions : Do not allow contact with soil, surface or ground water.
Methods and materials for : Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so. Stop leak if safe to do so. Contain
containment and cleaning up spillage, and then collect with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand,
earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and place in container for disposal
according to local / national regulations (see section 13). For large spills, dike
spilled material or otherwise contain material to ensure runoff does not reach a
waterway. Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.
Advice on safe handling : Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Take necessary action to avoid static
electricity discharge (which might cause ignition of organic vapours). Keep away
from fire, sparks and heated surfaces. Do not breathe
dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Use
only with adequate ventilation.

Conditions for safe storage : Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Keep in a cool, well-ventilated
place. Keep away from oxidizing agents. Keep out of reach of children. Keep
container tightly closed. Store in suitable labelled containers.
Engineering measures : Effective exhaust ventilation system. Maintain air concentrations below
occupational exposure standards.
