Inhalation
Remove victim immediately from source of exposure. General first aid, rest, warmth and fresh air. Place unconscious person on the side in the recovery position and ensure breathing. Seek medical treatment in case of complaints.
Ingestion
Do not give the patient anything orally. In the event of swallowing, if the quantity is small (no
more than one mouthful), rinse the mouth with water and consult a doctor.
Keep the person exposed at rest. Do not force vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately, showing the label. If swallowed accidentally, call a doctor to ascertain whether observation and hospital care will be necessary. Show the label.
Skin Contact
Remove contaminated clothing and wash the skin thoroughly with soap and water or a recognised cleaner. Watch out for any remaining product between skin and clothing, watches, shoes, etc. In the event of an allergic reaction, seek medical attention. If the contaminated area is widespread and/or there is damage to the skin, a doctor must be consulted or the patient transferred to hospital.
Eye Contact
Remove contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water by lifting eye lids for at least 20-30 minutes Seek immediate medical advice. Continue to rinse. Seek medical advice if irritation or discomfort persists.
4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
No additional data available.

Chemical powders, carbon dioxide and other extinguishing gas are suitable for small fires. Keep packages near the fire cool, to prevent pressurised containers from bursting.
In the event of a fire, use:
- sprayed water or water mist
- water with AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming Foam) additive - halon
- foam
- multipurpose ABC powder
- BC powder
- carbon dioxide (CO2)
Prevent the effluent of fire-fighting measures from entering drains or waterways. In the event of a fire, do not use:
- water jet
5.2 Special hazards arising from the product
A fire will often produce a thick black smoke. Exposure to decomposition products may be hazardous to health.
Do not breathe in smoke.
In the event of a fire, the following may be formed: carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2)
5.3 Advice for firefighters
Fire-fighting personnel are to be equipped with autonomous insulating breathing apparatus.
06. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Consult the safety measures listed under headings 7 and 8.
For non first aid worker
Because of the organic solvents contained in the mixture, eliminate sources of ignition and ventilate the area.
Avoid any contact with the skin and eyes.
For first aid worker
First aid workers will be equipped with suitable personal protective equipment (See section 8).
6.2 Environmental Precautions
Contain and control the leaks or spills with non-combustible absorbent materials such as sand, earth, vermiculite, diatomaceous earth in drums for waste disposal. Prevent any material from entering drains or waterways. If the product contaminates waterways, rivers or drains, alert the relevant authorities in accordance with statutory procedures. Use drums to dispose of collected waste in compliance with current regulations (see section 13).
6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up.
Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, universal binder, sawdust). Send for disposal in a suitable container. Clean preferably with a detergent, do not use solvents. Dispose of the material collected according to regulations.
6.4 Reference to other sections
See Section 7 for information on safe handling.
See Section 8 for information on personal protection equipment.

07. HANDLING AND STORAGE
7.1 Precautions for safe handling
Requirements relating to storage premises apply to all facilities where the mixture is handled.
Individuals with a history of skin sensitisation should not, under any circumstance, handle this mixture.
Precautions for safe handling
Always wash hands after handling. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-using.
Ensure that there is adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.
Fire prevention:
Handle in well-ventilated areas. Vapours are heavier than air. They can spread along the ground and form mixtures that are explosive with air. Prevent the formation of flammable or explosive concentrations in air and avoid vapour concentrations higher than the occupational exposure limits. Prevent the accumulation of electrostatic charges with connections to earth.
The mixture can become electrostatically charged : always earth during decanting operations. Wear antistatic shoes and clothing and floors should be electrically conductive. Use the mixture in premises free of naked flames or other sources of ignition and ensure that electrical equipment is suitably protected. Keep packages tightly closed and away from sources of heat, sparks and naked flames. Do not use tools which may produce sparks. Do not smoke. Prevent access by unauthorised personnel.
Recommended equipment and procedures:
For personal protection, see section 8. Observe precautions stated on label and also industrial safety regulations. Packages which have been opened must be reclosed carefully and stored in an upright position.
Prohibited equipment and procedures:
No smoking, eating or drinking in areas where the mixture is used. Never open the packages under pressure.
7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Keep the container tightly closed in a dry, well-ventilated place. Keep away from all sources of ignition - do not smoke. Keep well away from all sources of ignition, heat and direct sunlight. Avoid accumulation of electrostatic charges. The floor must be impermeable and form a collecting basin so that, in the event of an accidental spillage, the liquid cannot spread beyond this area.
Packaging
Always keep in packaging made of an identical material to the original.
7.3 Specific end use(s)
No additional data available.
