4. First-aid measures
Eye contact In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with a copious amount of water. Get medical attention if
irritation occurs.
Skin contact Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water as soon as reasonably practicable. Remove heavily
contaminated clothing and wash underlying skin. In extreme situations of saturation with this product,
drench with water, remove clothing as soon as possible and wash skin with soap and water. Seek medical
advice if skin becomes red, swollen or painful. Note that contaminated clothing may be a fire hazard.
Inhalation If exposure to vapour, mists or fumes causes drowsiness, headache, blurred vision or irritation of the eyes,
nose or throat, remove immediately to fresh air. Keep patient warm and at rest. If any symptoms persist
obtain medical advice.
Unconscious casualties must be placed in the recovery position. Monitor breathing and pulse rate and if
breathing has failed, or is deemed inadequate, respiration must be assisted, preferably by the mouth to
mouth method. Administer external cardiac massage if necessary. Seek medical attention immediately.
Ingestion If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Aspiration hazard if swallowed- can enter lungs and cause damage. Obtain medical attention.
Notes to physician Treatment should in general be symptomatic and directed to relieving any effects. Product can be
aspirated on swallowing or following regurgitation of stomach contents, and can cause severe and
potentially fatal chemical pneumonitis, which will require urgent treatment. Because of the risk of
aspiration, induction of vomiting and gastric lavage should be avoided. Gastric lavage should be
undertaken only after endotracheal intubation. Monitor for cardiac dysrhythmias.
5. Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable In case of fire, use foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide extinguisher or spray.
Not suitable Do not use water jet.
Hazardous decomposition Carbon oxides (CO, CO2) and other hazardous substances.
products
Unusual fire/explosion hazards Extremely flammable liquid and vapour. Vapour may cause flash fire. Vapours may accumulate in low or
confined areas, travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back. Runoff to sewer may
create fire or explosion hazard.
Special fire-fighting DO NOT FIGHT FIRE WHEN IT REACHES MATERIAL. Withdraw from fire and let it burn. Promptly
isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if there is a fire. First move
procedures
people out of line-of-sight of the scene and away from windows.
Protection of fire-fighters Fire-fighters should wear self-contained positive pressure breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full turnout
gear.
6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions Immediately contact emergency personnel. Eliminate all ignition sources. Keep unnecessary personnel
away. Use suitable protective equipment (See Section: "Exposure controls/personal protection"). Follow
all fire fighting procedures (See Section: "Fire-fighting measures"). Do not touch or walk through spilled
material. Ensure good ventilation.
Environmental precautions and If emergency personnel are unavailable, contain spilled material. For small spills add absorbent (soil may
be used in the absence of other suitable materials) and use a non-sparking or explosion proof means to
clean-up methods
transfer material to a sealed, appropriate container for disposal. For large spills dike spilled material or
otherwise contain material to ensure runoff does not reach a waterway. Place spilled material in an
appropriate container for disposal. Minimize contact of spilled material with soils to prevent runoff to
surface waterways.

Personal protection in case of Splash goggles. Full suit. Boots. Gloves. Entry into a confined space or poorly ventilated area
contaminated with vapour, mist or fume is extremely hazardous without the correct respiratory protective
a large spill
equipment and a safe system of work. Wear self-contained positive pressure breathing apparatus
(SCBA). Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE handling this
product.
Note: see section 8 for personal protective equipment and section 13 for waste disposal.
7. Handling and storage
Handling Use only with adequate ventilation. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. To avoid fire or explosion,
dissipate static electricity during transfer by earthing and bonding containers and equipment before
transferring material. Use explosion-proof electrical (ventilating, lighting and material handling) equipment.
Avoid contact of spilled material and runoff with soil and surface waterways. Wash thoroughly after
handling. Never siphon by mouth.
Storage Store in a segregated and approved area. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep container
tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark or flame). Store
and use only in equipment/containers designed for use with this product. Do not remove warning labels
from containers.
Do not enter storage tanks without breathing apparatus unless the tank has been well ventilated and the
tank atmosphere has been shown to contain hydrocarbon vapour concentrations of less than 1% of the
lower flammability limit and an oxygen concentration of at least 20% volume. Always have sufficient
people standing by outside the tank with appropriate breathing apparatus and equipment to effect a quick
rescue.
Light hydrocarbon vapours can build up in the headspace of tanks. These can cause
flammability/explosion hazards even at temperatures below the normal flash point (note: flash point must
not be regarded as a reliable indicator of the potential flammability of vapour in tank headspaces). Tank
headspaces should always be regarded as potentially flammable and care should be taken to avoid static
electrical discharge and all ignition sources during filling, ullaging and sampling from storage tanks.
When the product is pumped (e.g. during filling, discharge or ullaging) and when sampling, there is a risk
of static discharge. Ensure equipment used is properly earthed or bonded to the tank structure.
Electrical equipment should not be used unless it is intrinsically safe (i.e. will not produce sparks).
Explosive air/vapour mixtures may form at ambient temperature.
If product comes into contact with hot surfaces, or leaks occur from pressurised fuel pipes, the vapour or
mists generated will create a flammability or explosion hazard.
Product contaminated rags, paper or material used to absorb spillages, represent a fire hazard, and
should not be allowed to accumulate. Dispose of safely immediately after use.
Empty containers represent a fire hazard as they may contain flammable product residues and vapour.
Never weld, solder or braze empty containers.

Control Measures Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the relevant airborne concentrations
below their respective occupational exposure limits.
Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.
All chemicals should be assessed for their risks to health and appropriate control measures put in place
to prevent or adequately control exposure. A hierarchy of control measures exists (e.g. elimination,
substitution, general ventilation, containment, systems of work, changing the process or activity) that
must be considered before use of personal protective equipment. Personal protective equipment
should conform to appropriate standards, be suitable for use, be kept in good condition and properly
maintained.
The final choice of protective equipment will depend upon a risk assessment. It is important to ensure
that all items of personal protective equipment are compatible.
The above information is provided to assist the customer in conducting its own assessment of risk to the
health and safety of workers for the substance or preparation, and protection of the environment.
Hygiene measures Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before eating, smoking
and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period.
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory system Ensure good ventilation.
In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.
Approved air-supplied breathing apparatus must be worn where there is a risk of oxygen deficiency (i.e.
low oxygen concentration).
Provided an air-filtering/air-purifying respirator is suitable, a filter for organic gases and vapours (boiling
point >65癈) can be used for vapour. Use filter type A or comparable standard.
Respiratory protective equipment must be checked to ensure it fits correctly each time it is worn.
Air-filtering respirators, also called air-purifying respirators, will not be adequate under conditions of
oxygen deficiency (i.e. low oxygen concentration), and would not be considered suitable where airborne
concentrations of chemicals with a significant hazard are present. In these cases air-supplied breathing
apparatus will be required.
Skin and body Avoid contact with skin.
Cotton or polyester/cotton overalls will only provide protection against light superficial contamination
that will not soak through to the skin. Overalls should be laundered on a regular basis. When the risk
of skin exposure is high (e.g. when cleaning up spillages or if there is a risk of splashing) then chemical
resistant aprons and/or impervious chemical suits and boots will be required.
Hands Wear chemical resistant gloves.
Recommended: Gloves made from Viton or comparable material resistant to hydrocarbons.
Protective gloves will deteriorate over time due to physical and chemical damage. Inspect and replace
gloves on a regular basis. The frequency of replacement will depend upon the circumstances of use.
Eyes Chemical splash goggles.
