SECTION 4: First-aid measures
4.1 Description of necessary first-aid measures
If inhaled Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for
breathing.
If not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide
artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel. It may be dangerous to
the
person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Get medical
attention if
adverse health effects persist or are severe. If unconscious, place in
recovery
position and get medical attention immediately. Maintain an open airway.
Loosen
tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.
In case of skin contact Wash with plenty of soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and
shoes.
Wash contaminated clothing thoroughly with water before removing it, or
wear
gloves. Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. Get medical attention. In
the
event of any complaints or symptoms, avoid further exposure. Wash
clothing
before reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse.
In case of eye contact Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and
lower
eyelids. Check for and remove any contact lenses. Continue to rinse for at
least 10
minutes. Get medical attention.
If swallowed Wash out mouth with water. Remove dentures if any. Remove victim to
fresh air
and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If material has been

swallowed and the exposed person is conscious, give small quantities of
water to
drink. Stop if the exposed person feels sick as vomiting may be dangerous.
Do not
induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. If vomiting
occurs,
the head should be kept low so that vomit does not enter the lungs. Get
medical
attention if adverse health effects persist or are severe. Never give anything
by
mouth to an unconscious person. If unconscious, place in recovery position
and get
medical attention immediately. Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight
clothing such
as a collar, tie, belt or waistband
Personal protective equipment for first-aid responders
See section 8
4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
No specific treatment. Treat symptomatically. Call medical doctor or poison control
center immediately if large quantities have been ingested.
SECTION 5: Fire-fighting measures
5.1 Suitable extinguishing media
Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire
5.2 Specific hazards arising from the chemical
In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst.
This material is toxic 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.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Approach release from
upwind. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas.
Wash spillages into an effluent treatment plant or proceed as follows. Contain and
collect spillage with non-combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth,
vermiculite or diatomaceous earth and place in container for disposal according to
local regulations (see Section 13). Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal
contractor. Contaminated absorbent material may pose the same hazard as the
spilled product. Note: see Section 1 for emergency contact information and Section
13 for waste disposal.
SECTION 7: Handling and storage
7.1 Precautions for safe handling
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Persons with a
history of skin sensitization problems should not be employed in any process in
which this product is used. Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing. Do not ingest.
Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Avoid release to the environment. Keep in the

original container or an approved alternative made from a compatible material, kept
tightly closed when not in use. Empty containers retain product residue and can be
hazardous. Do not reuse container.
SECTION 8: Exposure controls/personal protection
8.2 Appropriate engineering controls
No special ventilation requirements. Good general ventilation should be sufficient to
control worker exposure to airborne contaminants. If this product contains
ingredients with exposure limits, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or
other engineering controls to keep worker exposure below any recommended or
statutory limits.
8.3 Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment (PPE)
Pictograms
Eye/face protection
Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk
assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists,
gases or dusts. If contact is possible, the following protection should be worn,
unless the assessment indicates a higher degree of protection: chemical splash
goggles.
Skin protection
Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should
be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates
this is necessary. Considering the parameters specified by the glove manufacturer,
check during use that the gloves are still retaining their protective properties. It
should be noted that the time to breakthrough for any glove material may be
different for different glove manufacturers. In the case of mixtures, consisting of
several substances, the protection time of the gloves cannot be accurately
estimated. > 8 hours (breakthrough time): butyl rubber, Ethyl Vinyl Alcohol
Laminate (EVAL)
Body protection
Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task
being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist
before handling this product.
Respiratory protection
Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying with an approved
standard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must
be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and
the safe working limits of the selected respirator
Environmental exposure controls
Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure
they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some
cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process
equipment will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
