Section 2. First Aid Measures
Eye contact Check for and remove any contact lenses. IMMEDIATELY flush eyes with running water for at least 15
minutes, keeping eyelids open. DO NOT use an eye ointment. Seek medical attention if irritation
persists.
Skin contact Remove contaminated clothing - launder before reuse. Wash gently and thoroughly the contaminated
skin with running water and non-abrasive soap. Get medical attention if redness or irritation occurs.
Inhalation Remove from further exposure. For those providing assistance, avoid exposure to yourself and others.
Use adequate respiratory protection. If respiratory irritation, dizziness, nausea or unconsciousness
occurs, seek immediate medical assistance. If breathing has stopped, assist ventilation with a
mechanical device or mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and obtain immediate medical attention.
Ingestion Seek Immediate medical attention. DO NOT induce vomiting without supervision of medical personel,
because of danger of aspirating liquid into lungs. Physician assessment is mandatory.

meters (0.5 mile) in all directions. DO NOT extinguish a leaking gas flame unless leak can be
stopped. Shut off fuel to fire if it is possible to do so without hazard. If this is impossible, withdraw
from area and let fire burn out under controlled conditions. Withdraw immediately in case of rising
sound from venting safety device or any discolouration of tank due to fire. Cool containing vessels
with water spray in order to prevent pressure build-up, autoignition or explosion. Avoid flushing
spilled material into sewers, streams or other bodies of water. Self-contained breathing apparatus
(SCBA) will be required if approaching the fire from downwind, or to enter enclosed areas or
buildings.

Flammability Can release vapour that form explosive mixtures with air at, or above 40 deg C. Liquid can
accumulate static charge by flow or agitation. Liquid can float on water and may travel to distant
locations and/or spread fire. During a fire, irritating/toxic gases may be generated. Containers may
explode in heat of fire.
Fire hazard in presence of various substances: Low fire hazard. Must be moderately heated before
ignition will occur. Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents, including peroxides, chlorine and
strong acids.
Remark
No additional remark.
Risks of explosion Do not cut, weld, heat, or drill empty containers. Vapours are heavier than air and may travel
considerable distance to sources of ignition and flash back Runoff to sewer may create fire or
explosion hazard.
Remark
No additional remark.

Chronic effects Vapor/aerosol concentrations above recommended exposure levels are irritating to the eyes, and
respiratory tract, may cause headaches, dizziness, anaesthesia, drowsiness, unconsciousness and
other central nervous system effects including death. Prolonged and/or repeated skin contact with low
viscosity materials may defat the skin resulting in possible irritation and dermatitis. Small amounts of
liquid aspirated into the lungs during ingestion or from vomiting may cause chemical pneumonitis or
pulmonary edema. This product contains naphthalene and exposures to high concentrations of
naphthalene may cause destruction of the red blood cells, anemia, and cataracts. Naphthalene caused
cancer in laboratory animal studis, but the relevence of these findings to humans is uncertain. This
product contains Ethylbenzene which has caused cancer in laboratory animals. The relevence of these
findings to humans is uncertain. This product contains Xylene and exposures to high concentrations of
xylenes in some animal studies have been reported to cause health effects on the developing
embryo/fetus. These effects were often at levels toxic to the mother. The significance of these findings
to humans has not been determined. Additional information from the manufacturer is available by
request.
Remark

Acute effects May irritate skin, eyes and respiratory tract.
Ingestion Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Pulmonary aspiration hazard if swallowed and vomiting occurs.
Skin Direct contact may irritate the skin.

drowsiness, unconsciousness and death.
Remark
Preexisting eye, skin and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure to this product.

Section 8. Preventive Measures
Waste disposal Consult your local or regional authorities. Preferred waste management priorities are: (1) recycle or
reprocess: (2) incineration with energy recover: (3) disposal at licensed waste disposal facility. Ensure
that disposal or reprocessing is in compliance with government requirements and local disposal
regulations.
Storage Store in tightly closed containers in cool, dry isolated and well-ventilated area. Open containers slowly
in order to control posible pressure release. Storage containers should be earthed and bonded. Drums
must be earhted and bonded and equipped with self-cloasing valves, pressure vacuum bungs and
flame arresters.
Handling: Keep away from heat, spark, open flames and other sources of ignition. Empty container
may contain flammable/explosive residues or vapours, DO NOT reuse empty containers without
commercial cleaning or reconditioning by a qualified or licensed contractor. DO not pressurise,
cut,weld, braze, solder, drill grind or expose empty containers to heat, flame, sparks, static electricity, or
other ingition source. THEY MAY EXPLODE. Ground/bond line and equipment during pumping or
transfer to avoid accumulation of static charge. Avoid inhalation and contact with skin or eyes. This
material should not be used for any other purose than identified in section 1 without expert advice.
Health studies have shown that chemical exposure may cause potential human health risks which may
vary from person to person. DO NOT SIPHON BY MOUTH. Practise good personal hygiene. Wash
hands after handling and before eating. Launder work clothes frequently. Discard saturated leather
goods.
Ventilation For normal outdoor application, special ventilation is not necessary. For indoor or confined spaces,
provide explosion-proof local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls, to keep airborne
concentrations below the allowable threshold limit value, adequate oxygen (at least 18% by volume),
and flame-proof electrical switches and lighting system. Make-up air should always be supplied to
balance air removed by exhaust ventilation. Ensure that eyewash station and safety shower are close
to the work-station.
Spill and leak In the event of a spil or accidental release, notify relevant authorities in accordance with all applicable
regulations.
LAND SPILL: Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area).
Stop leak if you can do so without risk. All equipment used when handling the material must be
grounded. Avoid contact. Do not touch or walk through the material. Prevent entry into waterways,
sewers, basements or confined areas. A vapour suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapour. Use
clean non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material. Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or non-
combustible material and transfer to containers. LARGE SPILLS: Dyke far ahead of liquid spill for later

recovery and disposal. Water spray may reduce vapour, but may not prevent ignition in enclosed
spaces. Recover by pumping or with suitable absorbant
WATER SPILL: Stop leak if you can do so without risk. Eliminate sources of ignition. Warn other
shipping. If the flashpoint exceeds the ambient temperature by 10 degrees C or more, use contianment
booms and remove from the surface by skimming or with suitable absorbants when conditions permit. If
the flashpoint does not exceed the ambient temperature by at least 10 degrees C, use booms as a
barrier to protect shorelines and allow material to evaporate. Seek the advice of a specialist before
using dispersants
Note: Water spill and land spill recommendations are based on the most likely spill scenario for this
material; however, geographic conditions, wind, temperature, (and in the case of water spills) wave and
current direction and speed may greatly influence the appropriate action to be taken. For this reason
local experts should be consulted. Local regulations may prescribe or limit action to be taken
