4. FIRST AID MEASURES

General :
In all cases of doubt or when symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Have Safety Data Sheet information
available. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

Inhalation :
Remove to fresh air, keep patient warm and at rest. If breathing has stopped, administer artificial respiration.
Give nothing by mouth. If unconscious, place in recovery position and seek medical advice.

Eye contact :
Irrigate copiously with clean, fresh water for at least 15 minutes, holding the eyelids apart, and seek medical
advice.

Skin contact :
Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water or use recognized skin cleaners.
Do NOT use solvents or thinners.

In case of burns, seek medical advice.

Ingestion :
If accidentally swallowed obtain immediate medical attention. Keep at rest. Do NOT induce vomiting.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

Extinguishing media :
. Recommended : universal resistant foam - CO2 - water, powder
. Not to be used : none in particular

Recommendations :
. Fire will produce dense black smoke. Exposure to decomposition products may cause a Health Hazard.
Fire fighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
. Water mist may be used to cool closed containers to prevent pressure build-up and possible
auto-ignition and explosion when exposed to extreme heat.
. Do not weld, expose to extreme heat or ignition sources, empty containers which have contained
flammable products.
. Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

- Exclude sources of ignition and ventilate the area. Avoid breathing vapours by using appropriate respiratory
protective equipment. Refer to protective measures listed in sections 7 & 8.
- Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible absorbent materials, e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite,
diatomaceous earth and place in a suitable container for disposal in accordance with local regulations (see
section 13). Do not allow to enter drains or watercourses.
- Clean preferably with a detergent ; avoid use of solvents.
- If the product contaminates lakes, rivers or sewers, inform water authorities in accordance with local
regulations.

- Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited during handling.

- Keep container tighly closed. Any containers which are open should be carefully resealed.
- Avoid skin and eye contact. Avoid inhalation of vapour and spray mist.
- An eye wash station and safety shower should be in close proximity within the area of use.

Packaging materials :
. Recommended : keep preferably in original container
. Avoid :
* Mild steel
* Aluminium and alloys
* Iron
* Zinc

- Handle and open containers with care to avoid sudden ejections. Never use pressure to empty : container
is not a pressure vessel. Clean or discard contaminated clothing and shoes.

7.2 Storage

Observe label precautions. Store between 5 and 35ºC in a dry, clean and well ventilated place, away from
sources of heat, ignition, and direct sunlight.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

8.1 Engineering measures

Avoid the inhalation of vapour, spray mist and particulates. This should be achieved by the provision of local
exhaust ventilation and good general extraction to keep air-borne concentration below the Occupational
Exposure Limits (OEL). If these are not sufficient to comply with OEL, suitable respiratory protection must be
worn.

8.3 Personal protection

Respiratory protection :
Appropriate certified respiratory protective equipment should be selected according to the type of
contaminants, following official and manufacturers instructions including proper fitting.

Hand protection :
for prolonged or repeated contact, we recommend gloves type : nitrile rubber, neoprene rubber.
