4. First-aid measures
General advice:
Remove contaminated clothing.
If inhaled:
Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air. If breathing difficulties develop, aid in breathing and seek immediate
medical attention.
If on skin:
Wash affected areas with water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation develops, seek medical attention.
If in eyes:
Flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Hold eyelids open to facilitate rinsing. Seek
medical attention.
If swallowed:
Rinse mouth and then drink plenty of water. Do not induce vomiting due to aspiration hazard. Immediate
medical attention required.
Unsuitable extinguishing media for safety reasons:
water spray
Hazards during fire-fighting:
Vapors and/or decomposition products are irritant and/or toxic. If product is heated above decomposition
temperature acrid smoke and fumes will be released.
Protective equipment for fire-fighting:
Firefighters should be equipped with self-contained breathing apparatus and turn-out gear.
Further information:
Vapours are heavier than air and may accumulate in low areas and travel a considerable distance up to the
source of ignition. Remove product from areas of fire, or otherwise cool sealed containers with water in order
to avoid pressure build up due to heat. Do not flood burning material with water due to potential spreading of
fire. Contain contaminated water/firefighting water. Run-off water from fire may cause pollution. Notify proper
authorities.
6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions:
Extinguish sources of ignition nearby and downwind. Wear suitable personal protective clothing and
equipment. Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid prolonged inhalation. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Use
antistatic tools.
Environmental precautions:
Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater.

Cleanup:
Dike spillage. Place into appropriately labeled waste containers. Spills should be contained, solidified, and
placed in suitable containers for disposal.
7. Handling and storage
Handling
General advice:
Ensure adequate ventilation. Do not puncture, drop, or slide containers. Use static lines when mixing and
transferring material. Handle and open container with care. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing.
WARNING: Empty containers may still contain hazardous residue.
Protection against fire and explosion:
Use antistatic tools. Exhaust fans should be explosion proof. Provide adequate ventilation to remove solvent
vapors from lower levels or work areas and to prevent solvent contact with ignition sources. Sealed
containers should be protected against heat as this results in pressure build-up. Risk of explosion if heated
under confinement. Avoid all sources of ignition: heat, sparks, open flame.
Storage
General advice:
Keep container tightly closed. Protect from direct sunlight.
Storage incompatibility:
General: Segregate from incompatible substances. Segregate from oxidizing agents. Segregate from strong
bases. Segregate from strong acids.
Storage stability:
Consult local fire marshal for storage requirements.
Temperature tolerance
Protect from temperatures above: 49 癈
