First-aid measures

INHALATION:

Get medical attention immediately. Move exposed person to fresh

air. If it is suspected that fumes are still present, the rescuer should

wear an appropriate mask or self-contained breathing apparatus.

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. It may be dangerous to the person

providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. 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 inhalation of decomposition products

in a fire, symptoms may be delayed. The exposed person may

need to be kept under medical surveillance for 48 hours.

INGESTION:

Get medical attention immediately. Wash out mouth with water.

Move exposed person to fresh air. Keep person warm and at rest.

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. 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.

SKIN CONTACT:

Flush contaminated skin with plenty of water. Remove

contaminated clothing and shoes. 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. Carefully clean hair, under

the nails, and other hidden areas. In case of blueness of lips, skin

or nails (cyanosis) let the person breathe oxygen. No physical

exertion.

INFORMATION FOR THE PHYSICIAN: Elementary aid,

decontamination, symptomatic treatment and depending on the

formation of methaemoglobin: intravenous administration of

toluidine blue or other redox dyes according to dosage

specifications plus ascorbic acid.

CONTACT WITH THE HOT MELT: Cooling immediately with

plenty of water. Do not remove product crusts which may have

formed neither forcibly nor by applying any solvents to the skin

involved. In order to obtain medical care for possible burns and for

a smooth cleansing of the skin, seek medical advice immediately.

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.

NOTES TO THE PHYSICIAN:

Elementary aid, decontamination, symptomatic treatment and depending on the formation of methaemoglobin: intravenous administration of toluidine blue or other redox dyes according to dosage specifications plus ascorbic acid

Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.

LARGE SPILL:

Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas. 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 SDS). Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.

Note: see Section 1 for emergency contact information and Section 13 SDS for waste disposal. Contaminated absorbent material may pose

the same hazard as the spilled product.

SMALL SPILL:

Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Dilute with water and mop up if water-soluble or absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling:

Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8 SDS). Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking. 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 breathe vapor or mist. Do not ingest. Avoid release to the environment. If during normal use the material

presents a respiratory hazard, use only with adequate ventilation or wear appropriate respirator. 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.

The product is registered with strictly controlled conditions as defined in Article 17(3) or 18(4) of regulation (EC) no. 1907/2006 (REACH Regulation) and must therefore be handled as such. Refer to the industry guidance prepared by Concawe/Cefic/EFCG for advice on the confirmation of strictly controlled conditions.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:

Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and wellventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 SDS) and food and drink. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Use appropriate containment to avoid

environmental contamination.
