4. FIRST AID MEASURES
4.1 General
Never give anything by mouth or induce vomiting to an unconscious person or a person who has convulsions.
4.2 Inhalation
Remove person exposed to excessive solvent concentrations to fresh air, keep patient warm and at rest. If breathing is
irregular, call national emergency number, if needed start giving artificial respiration and seek medical advice.
4.3 Skin contact
Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water and apply skin cream. Large quantities of paint
can, in case of emergency, be wiped off with a cloth wetted with solvent. Small splashes
can be cleaned off with cleaning emulsion or cooking oil.
4.4 Eye contact
Flush immediately with plenty of water for about 15 minutes. If wearing contact lenses, remove after first
1 or 2 minutes flushing. If necessary seek medical advice.
4.5 Ingestion
Drink water or milk. Do not induce vomiting. In case of obvious ingestion, seek medical advice.
4.6 Information for doctor or other professional first aid persons
Treatment according to symptoms.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
5.1 Suitable extinguish media
Extinguish with powder, foam or CO2. Small amounts can also be extinguished by smothering.
5.2 Extinguish media which must not be used for safety reasons
Never use only water for extinguishing, since water may cause the fire of a combustible material to spread.
5.3 Special exposure hazards in fire
Avoid breathing smoke (contains health hazard decomposition products), which fire will release.
5.4 Special protective equipment for fire-fighters
Compressed air respirator and protective clothing.
5.5 Other instructions
Evacuate people from danger area and deny access to area. Remove containers from danger area and try to cool
containers which cannot be removed safely.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
6.1 Personal precautions
Smoking, work causing sparks, welding etc. nearby the accident area must be ceased immediately. Avoid breathing
solvent vapours and ventilate the area. Wear personal protective equipment (extinguishing suit, protective gloves, rubber
boots).
6.2 Environmental precautions
Isolate danger area. Exclude sources of ignition. Close/block leakage if it can be done safely. Dam leakage paint and do
not allow the product to enter drains, water courses or soil.
6.3 Methods for cleaning up
Collect spillage with vermiculite or other absorbent material. Gather waste for destruction as hazardous waste. Wash
contaminated area with alkaline washing agent.
6.4 Other instructions

HANDLING AND STORAGE
7.
7.1 Handling
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. In contact with air the solvent vapours may form an explosive mixture. Ventilate the area
sufficiently in order to avoid formation of excessively high concentrations of solvents. Smoking, open fire, work causing
sparks and welding nearby the working place is prohibited. All spraying equipment, mixing vessels etc. must be grounded
with grounding cables to avoid static discharges. The eye flushing device should be located near the paint work area.
7.2 Storage
The product must be stored in a dry, cool, well ventilated space and away from source of heat and ignition. Containers
must be kept tightly closed and away from foodstuff.
7.3 Specific use(s)

8.1.2 Other limit values
Biological limiting value of ethylbenzene = 5.2 mmol/l (2009). Sample is to be taken after work shift after working week
or exposure period. Mandelic acid concentration of urine is used as a parameter.
8.1.3 Limit values given in other countries: many
8.1.4 DNEL: ---
8.1.5 PNEC: ---
8.2 Exposure controls
8.2.1 Occupational exposure controls
Adequate ventilation must be provided. If general ventilation is not sufficient, efficient local exhaust ventilation must be
provided or the work is, whenever possible, to be done in a spray booth or similar.
8.2.1.1 Respiratory protection
If ventilation is insufficient or if workers are exposed to concentrations above the exposure limit they must use half- or full
mask with gas filter A (brown, organic substances), and when grinding P2 (IIb) -type dust filter. Mask with combined filter
(gas & dust) AP must be used when spraying. In the continuous long-term work it is recommended to use motored air
protector or separative protector (fresh air hood or compressed air hood or such).
8.2.1.2 Hand protection
For prolonged or repeated exposure use protective gloves (e.g. PVA, Viton, 4H or EVOH). Use of barrier creams is
advisable.
8.2.1.3 Eye protection
Use safety eyewear or facemask if respirator mask doesn't protect eyes. The eye flushing device should be located near
the paint work area.
8.2.1.4 Skin protection
Protective clothing (overalls), protective shoes/boots and a cap. After paint work, painters should wash themselves
thoroughly.
8.2.2 Environmental exposure controls: Product releases VOC-compounds (= volatile organic hydrocarbons) 310 g/l
Comp.A. Unnecessary thinning will increase VOC-release.

Disposal of the package:
Empty, dry paint containers (hole made in the bottom) should be taken to collection centres for metallic paint packages. If
this collecting/recycling centre doesn't exist, containers can be taken to a local dump pit. For more information contact
your local waste disposal authorities or paint deliverer.
