4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Ingestion: Contact a doctor immediately. Keep at rest. Do NOT induce vomiting.
Eyes: Remove contact lenses and keep eyelids open. Flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Call a physician.
Skin: Immediately remove contaminated clothing. Wash away with soap and water and rinse. Do
NOT use solvents or thinners.
Inhalation: Take the casualty into the fresh air and keep warm. Keep at rest. Irregular breathing/no breathing:
artificial respiration. Unconsciousness: lateral position ?call a physician.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media: Alcohol resistant foam, CO2, Dry Chemical and water spray.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: Water jet.
Hazards from combustion products: Fire will produce dense black smoke. Exposure to decomposition
products may cause a health hazard.
Precautions and equipment for fire fighters: Appropriate breathing apparatus may be required.
Additional information: Cool endangered containers with water in case of fire. Do not allow
the quenching water into the sewage system.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions: Remove ignition sources. Provide for sufficient ventilation. Do not inhale the
vapour. Refer to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8.
Environmental precautions: Do not empty into drains and sewers. If the product contaminates lakes, rivers
or sewages, inform appropriate authorities in accordance with local
regulations.
Methods for clean up / collecting: Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible absorbent materials, eg.
sand, earth, vermiculite, diatomaceous earth and place in container for
disposal according to local regulations. Clean preferably with a detergent;
avoid use of solvents.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Information for safe handling
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not eat or drink during work ?no smoking. Comply with the health and safety
at work laws.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
Information about protection against explosions and fires
No particular measures required.
Requirements to be met by storerooms and containers
Containers should be kept dry and sealed. Containers, which are opened, must be carefully resealed and kept
upright to prevent leakage.
Information about separation of incompatible products
Keep away from oxidising agents, from strongly alkaline and strongly acid materials.
Further information about storage conditions
Always keep in containers of same material as the original one. See also instructions on the label. Avoid heating
and direct sunlight.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Additional information about engineering measures
Provide adequate ventilation. Where reasonably practicable this should be achieved by the use of local exhaust
ventilation and good general extraction. If these are not sufficient to maintain concentrations of vapours or particles
below the OEL (Occupational Exposure Limit), suitable respiratory protection must be worn.
