3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Health: Unlikely to cause eye irritation.
Unlikely to cause skin irritation.
Not volatile. It is not likely to be an inhalation hazard at normal ambient temperatures.
Ingestion is unlikely to cause adverse systemic health effects.
Environmental: Although no specific ecological hazards are expected and bioaccumulation is unlikely, spillage into the
environment should always be avoided.
Physical / Chemical: Not applicable
Additional Information: None
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes: Flush the eye with copious amounts of water. No emergency measures are necessary but if
adverse eye effects follow, refer for medical attention.
Skin: Wash the contaminated skin thoroughly with soap and water. No emergency measures are
necessary but if adverse skin effects follow, refer for medical attention.
Inhalation: Remove the affected person to fresh air. If recovery is not rapid, obtain medical attention.
Ingestion: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. No emergency measures are needed but if adverse health effects
follow, refer for medical attention.
Additional Information:
5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing media: Recommended: Dry chemical, foam, CO2, water mist.
Not to be used: Direct water jet. Use water ONLY to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
Specific exposure hazards:
Slight flammability hazard when exposed to heat or flame.
Special protective equipment for firefighters:
Use self-contained breathing equipment when fighting fire in confined spaces.
