04. First-aid measures
General
In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person.
After inhalation
Remove to fresh air, keep patient warm and at rest. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration. Give
nothing by mouth. If unconsciousness, place in recovery position and seek medical attention.
After skin contact
Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water or use recognised skin cleaner. Do NOT use solvents
or thinners.

Revision : 23.06.2006 Version : 2.0.0
Print date : 25.07.2006
After eye contact
Remove contact lenses, irrigate copiously with clean, fresh water for at least 10 minutes, holding the eyelids apart and seek
medical attention.
After ingestion
If accidentally swallowed obtain immediate medical attention. Keep at rest. Do NOT induce vomiting.
05. Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media
Alcohol resistant foam, CO2, powders, water spray.
Unsuitable extinguishing media
Waterjet.
Special risk posed by the substance or by the actual product, its combustion products or gases discharged
Fire will produce dense black smoke. Exposure to decomposition products may cause a health hazard.
Special protective equipment
Appropriate breathing apparatus may be required. For fighting fires in buildings and confined spaces, firefighters must use self-
contained breathing apparatus and should wear full fire-fighting turn-out gear.
Additional information
Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water. Do not allow run-off from the fire fighting to enter drains of waterways.
06. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions
Eliminate sources of ignition and ventilate the area. Avoid breathing vapors. Refer to protective measures listed in sections 7
and 8.
Environmental precautions
Do not empty into drains. If the product is accidentally released into lakes, rivers or sewages, inform appropriate authorities in
accordance with local regulations.
Methods for cleaning up/collecting
Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible absorbent materials, e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite, diatomaceous earth and
place in container for disposal according to local regulations (see section 13). Clean preferably with a detergent; avoid use of
solvents.
07. Handling and storage
Information for safe handling
Vapors are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Prevent the creation of
flammable or explosive concentrations of vapor in air and avoid vapor concentrations higher than the OEL (Occupational
Exposure Limit). Additionally, the product should only be used in areas from which all naked lights and other sources of ignition
have been eliminated. Electrical equipment should be protected to the appropriate standard. Floors should be of the conducting
type. Product may charge electrostatically: always ground containers when transferring from one container to another.
Operators should wear antistatic footwear and clothing. No sparking tools should be used. Keep the container tightly closed.
Isolate from sources of heat, sparks and open flame. No sparking tools should be used. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid
the inhalation of dust, particulates and spray mist arising from the application of this product. Avoid inhalation of dust from
sanding.
Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in application area.
For personal protection see Section 8.
Never use pressure to empty: container is not a pressure vessel.
Always keep in containers of same material as the original one.
Comply with the health and safety at work laws.
Further information about storage conditions
Storage in accordance with CPR 15-1 or CPR 15-2. Observe label precautions. Store between 0 and 35 degrees C. (32 and 95
degrees F.) in a dry, well ventilated place away from sources of heat and direct sunlight.
Keep away from oxidizing agents, strongly alkaline and strongly acidic materials. No smoking. Prevent unauthorized access.
Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not allow to enter drains.
08. Exposure controls and personal protection
Additional information about engineering measures
Provide adequate ventilation. Where reasonably practical this should be achieved by the use of local exhaust ventilation and
good general extraction. If these are not sufficient to maintain concentrations below the OEL (Occupational Exposure Limit),
suitable respiratory protection must be worn.

US Transport
This product has a flash point temperature of between 100 and 141 癋 (38 to 60 癈) which qualifies as a Class 3, flammable liquid.
However, according to 49 CFR 173.150(b) and (c), when shipped in inner packaging with a net capacity of no more than 5 liters (1.3
gallons) and packaged in strong outer packaging (e.g., fiber board box) this product may qualify as a "Limited Quantity" and as a
"Consumer Commodity," and be exempt on that basis from certain U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements.
Alternatively, according to 49 CFR 173.150(f)(1) and (2), this product may be reclassified as a "Combustible Liquid" and exempted
from all DOT hazardous materials regulations (including marking, labeling, and packaging requirements) when shipped in non-bulk
packaging (maximum capacity of 119 gallons or less). This particular reclassification is not available for product transported via vessel
or aircraft or products which are defined by DOT in 49 CFR 171.8 as "marine pollutants," "hazardous substances," or "hazardous
waste."
These data are based on our present knowledge. However, they shall not constitute a guarantee for any specific product features and
shall not establish a legally valid contractual relationship.
