closed containers exposed to fire with water spray. Do not allow run-off from
fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.
: In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Special protective equipment
for fire-fighters
: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
Suitable extinguishing media
Keep containers and surroundings cool with water spray.
: Do NOT use water jet.

measures listed in sections 7 and 8. Wear respiratory protection. Beware of
vapours accumulating to form explosive concentrations. Vapours can
accumulate in low areas. Remove all sources of ignition.
: Try to prevent the material from entering drains or water courses. If the

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
: Avoid exceeding of the given occupational exposure limits (see section 8).
Safe handling advice
Use only in area provided with appropriate exhaust ventilation. Avoid contact
with skin, eyes and clothing. Smoking, eating and drinking should be
prohibited in the application area. Avoid inhalation of vapour or mist. For
personal protection see section 8.
: Prevent the creation of flammable or explosive concentrations of vapour in
Advice on protection against
air and avoid vapour concentration higher than the occupational exposure
fire and explosion
limits. When transferring from one container to another apply earthing
measures and use conductive hose material. No sparking tools should be
used. The product should only be used in areas from which all naked lights
and other sources of ignition have been excluded. No smoking. The
accumulation of contaminated rags and dry overspray, particularly in spray
booth filters, may result in spontaneous combustion. Good housekeeping
standards, regular safe removal of waste materials and regular maintenance of
spray booth filters will minimise the risks of spontaneous combustion and
other fire hazards.
Storage
: Observe label precautions. Prevent unauthorized access. Containers which
Requirements for storage areas
are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.
and containers
Store between 5 and 25癈 (41 - 77 F) in a dry, well ventilated place away
from sources of heat, ignition and direct sunlight. Solvent vapours are heavier
than air and may spread along floors. Vapours may form explosive mixtures
with air. Electrical installations / working materials must comply with the
technocological safety standards. Keep away from sources of ignition - No
smoking. Store in accordance with the particular national regulations (see
section 15).
: Keep away from oxidising agents and strongly acid or alkaline materials.

General advice
: When operators, whether spraying or not, have to work inside the spray

booth, ventilation is unlikly to be sufficient to control particulates and solvent
vapour in all cases. In such circumstances they should wear a compressed air-
fed respirator during the spraying process and until such time as the
particulates and solvent vapour concentration has fallen below the exposure
limits.
: For prolonged or repeated contact use protective gloves. Barrier creams may

: Chemical resistant goggles must be worn.
