Description of first aid measures

General advice IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention. Show this safety data sheet to the
doctor in attendance.

Inhalation Remove to fresh air. IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention.

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.

Ingestion Do NOT induce vomiting. Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician.

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
contact with skin, eyes or clothing.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

Symptoms May cause redness and tearing of the eyes. Burning sensation. Inhalation of high vapor
concentrations may cause symptoms like headache, dizziness, tiredness, nausea and
vomiting.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Note to physicians Treat symptomatically.

5. Fire-fighting measures
Suitable Extinguishing Media Dry chemical. Carbon dioxide (CO2). water spray. Alcohol resistant foam.
Large Fire CAUTION: Use of water spray when fighting fire may be inefficient.

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.

Hazardous combustion products Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide.

Explosion data
Sensitivity to mechanical impact none.

Sensitivity to static discharge yes.

Special protective equipment for Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full firefighting turnout
fire-fighters gear. Use personal protection equipment.

6. Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
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.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Methods for containment Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. A vapor
suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Dike far ahead of spill to collect runoff
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 labeled containers.

7. Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Advice on safe handling Use personal protection equipment. Avoid breathing vapors 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.
Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable
respiratory equipment.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Storage Conditions Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep away from
heat, sparks, flame and other sources of ignition (i.e., pilot lights, electric motors and static
