4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Skin Contact Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water.
Ingestion If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Get medical attention immediately.
Inhalation Move to fresh air. Oxygen or artificial respiration if needed.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammable Properties Flammable.
Suitable Extinguishing Media Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding
environment. Contact with water may cause violent frothing. Use: Carbon dioxide (CO2) -
Foam - Dry chemical
Hazardous Decomposition Products Oxides of carbon, hydrocarbons.
Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical
Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapours. In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes.
Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters
Use water spray to cool unopened containers. In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Keep away from
heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. May cause heat and pressure build-up in closed containers. Solvent vapors are heavier than
air and may spread along floors. Flash back possible over considerable distance.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Use personal protective equipment. Remove all
sources of ignition.
Environmental Precautions Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not flush into surface water or sanitary
sewer system.
Methods for Cleaning Up If spilled, contain spilled material and remove with inert absorbent. Dispose of contaminated
absorbent, container and unused contents in accordance with local, state and federal
regulations.
Other Information Not applicable

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Close container after each use. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. If
splashes are likely to occur, wear goggles. Wear protective gloves/clothing. Do not burn, or use a cutting torch on, the empty drum.
When used in a mixture, read the labels and safety data sheets of all components. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Storage
Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. VAPORS MAY CAUSE FLASH FIRE. Use only in an area containing flame proof equipment.
Extinguish all flames and pilot lights, and turn off stoves, heaters, electric motors and other sources of ignition during use and until all
vapors are gone. Prevent build-up of vapors by opening all windows and doors to achieve cross ventilation.

Engineering Measures Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas
Personal Protective Equipment
Skin Protection Lightweight protective clothing, Apron, Impervious gloves
Eye/face Protection If splashes are likely to occur, wear Goggles.
Respiratory Protection Use only with adequate ventilation. Do not breathe dust, vapors or spray mist. Ensure
fresh air entry during application and drying. If you experience eye watering, headache or
dizziness or if air monitoring demonstrates vapor/mist levels are above applicable limits,
wear an appropriate, properly fitted respirator (NIOSH approved) during and after application.
Follow respirator manufacturer's directions for respirator use.
General Hygiene Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
Considerations Avoid breathing dust created by cutting, sanding, or grinding.
