4.3 Skin contact
Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin throughly with soap and water or use recognized skin cleanser.>>
4.4 Eye contact
Irrigate copiously with clean, fresh water for at least 10 minutes, holding the eyelids apart and seek medical
advice.
4.5 Ingestion
If accidentally swallowed obtain immediate medical attention. Keep at rest. DO NOT induce vomiting.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
5.1 Suitable extinguishing media
Use foam, CO2, powder or water spray.
5.2 Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons
Waterjet
5.3 Specific hazards
Fire will produce dense black smoke, which contains decomposition products. Avoid breathing the smoke.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
6.1 Personal precautions
Avoid breathing vapours. Exclude sources of ignition.
6.2 Environmental precautions
Do not allow to enter drains or water courses.
6.3 Methods for cleaning up
Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible absorbent materials, e.g. sand or vermiculite and place in a
container for disposal according to local regulations. Clean preferably with a detergent; avoid the use of
solvents. Note! Products containing oxidative drying oil or alkyd (linseed oil varnish, alkyd paints and -
lacquers) have a possibility of auto-ignition in porous materials damped by the product. This kind of waste
must be collected and stored e.g. in water before disposal or incinerated immediately.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
7.1 Handling
Vapours are heavier than air and may form explosive mixtures with air. Good ventilation must be provided.
Keep away from sources of ignition. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
7.2 Storage
Keep containers tightly closed. Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated place away from sources of heat and direct
sunlight.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
8.2 Exposure controls
8.2.1 Occupational exposure controls
Provide adequate ventilation. Comply with the health and safety at work laws.
8.2.1.1 Respiratory protection
Use appropriate certified respirators, with gas and vapour filter A, during sanding with dust filter P2, if
ventilation is insufficient. During spray-application use respirators with gas, vapour and dust filter AP. During
continuous and long-term work the use of air-fed or motor-driven respirators is recommended.
8.2.1.2 Hand protection
Always wear protective gloves (e.g. nitrile rubber). Barrier creams may also help to protect the exposed areas
of the skin.
8.2.1.3 Eye protection
Safety eyewear must be used, specially during spray-application.
