First-aid measures

General notes

Self-protection of the first aider.

Take off immediately all contaminated clothing.

Remove affected person from the danger area and lay down.

In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical advice.

Following inhalation

Provide fresh air.

If breathing is irregular or stopped, immediately seek medical assistance and start first aid actions.

Mouth to mouth resuscitation should be avoided. Use alternative methods, preferably with oxygen or

compressed air driven apparatus.

Following skin contact

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

In case of insufficient ventilation and/or in use, may form flammable/explosive vapour-air mixture.

Solvent vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors.

Places which are not ventilated, e.g. unventilated below ground level areas such as trenches, conduits

and shafts, are particularly prone to the presence of flammable substances or mixtures.

Hazardous combustion products

carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), pyrolysis products, toxic

Advice for firefighters

Keep containers cool with water spray.

In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes.

Co-ordinate firefighting measures to the fire surroundings.

Do not allow firefighting water to enter drains or water courses.

Collect contaminated firefighting water separately.

Fight fire with normal precautions from a reasonable distance.

Containments may explode when heated.

Special protective equipment for firefighters

use suitable breathing apparatus and suitable protective clothing if risk of contact with substance.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

For non-emergency personnel

Remove persons to safety.

Ventilate affected area.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Avoid breathing mist/vapours/spray.

Wearing of suitable protective equipment (including personal protective equipment referred to under

Section 8 of the safety data sheet) to prevent any contamination of skin, eyes and personal clothing.

For emergency responders

Wear breathing apparatus if exposed to vapours/dust/spray/gases.

Chemical protection suit.

Environmental precautions

Keep away from drains, surface and ground water.

Retain contaminated washing water and dispose of it.

If substance has entered a water course or sewer, inform the responsible authority.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Advice on how to clean up a spill

Collect spillage.

Absorbent material (e.g. sand, diatomaceous earth, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust, etc.).

Appropriate containment techniques

Use of adsorbent materials.

Bunding.

Remove from the water surface (e.g. skimming, sucking).

Other information relating to spills and releases

Place in appropriate containers for disposal.

Ventilate affected area.

Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Provision of sufficient ventilation.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Avoid breathing mist/vapours/spray.

Handle and open container with care.

Measures to prevent fire as well as aerosol and dust generation

Use local and general ventilation.

Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.

Take precautionary measures against static discharge.

Due to danger of explosion, prevent leakage of vapours into cellars, flues and ditches.

Ground/bond container and receiving equipment.

Use explosion-proof electrical/ventilating/lighting/equipment.

Use only non-sparking tools.

Specific notes/details

Places which are not ventilated, e.g. unventilated below ground level areas such as trenches, conduits

and shafts, are particularly prone to the presence of flammable substances or mixtures.

Vapours are heavier than air, spread along floors and form explosive mixtures with air.

Measures to protect the environment

Avoid release to the environment.

Advice on general occupational hygiene

Do not eat, drink and smoke in work areas.

Wash hands after use.

Preventive skin protection (barrier creams/ointments) is recommended.

Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Explosive atmospheres

Keep container tightly closed and in a well-ventilated place.

Use local and general ventilation.

Keep cool.

Protect from sunlight.

Flammability hazards

Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking.

Take precautionary measures against static discharge.

Ground/bond container and receiving equipment.

Protect from sunlight.

Protect against external exposure, such as

heat

Consideration of other advice

Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs.

Ventilation requirements

Provision of sufficient ventilation.

Specific designs for storage rooms or vessels

Keep in a cool, well-ventilated place.

Packaging compatibilities

Only packagings which are approved (e.g. acc. to ADR) may be used.
