4. FIRST AID MEASURES
First-aid measures
Inhalation : If it is suspected that fumes are still present, the rescuer should wear an appropriate
mask or self-contained breathing apparatus. Get medical attention if adverse health
effects persist or are severe. Get medical attention if symptoms appear.
Ingestion : Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Maintain an
open airway. Seek immediate medical attention.
Skin contact : Flush contaminated skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and
shoes. Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. Obtain medical attention if
symptoms occur.
Eye contact : Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower
eyelids. Check for and remove any contact lenses. Continue to rinse for at least 10
minutes. Get medical attention.
Notes to physician : No specific treatment. Treat symptomatically. Contact poison treatment specialist
immediately if large quantities have been ingested or inhaled.
See section 11 for more detailed information on health effects and symptoms.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing media
Suitable : Use dry chemical, CO2, water spray (fog) or foam.
Not suitable : Do not use water jet.
Special exposure hazards : Highly flammable liquid. In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the
container may burst, with the risk of a subsequent explosion. Runoff to sewer may
create fire or explosion hazard.
Hazardous combustion : Decomposition products may include the following materials:
products carbon dioxide
carbon monoxide
Special protective : Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained
equipment for fire-fighters breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure
mode.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions : Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Do not touch or walk
through spilt material. Shut off all ignition sources. No flares, smoking or flames in
hazard area. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8).
Evacuate surrounding areas.
Environmental precautions : Avoid dispersal of spilt material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains
and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental
pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air). Water polluting material. May be harmful to
the environment if released in large quantities.
Large spill : Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Prevent entry into sewers,
water courses, basements or confined areas. Wash spillages into an effluent
treatment plant or proceed as follows. Contain and collect spillage with non-
combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth
and place in container for disposal according to local regulations (see section 13).
Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment.
Date of issue : 12.06.2009. MSDS no. : 123613 2/7
Primer 600 12.06.2009 3/7
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Small spill : Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Absorb with an inert
material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Use spark-proof tools
and explosion-proof equipment.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling : Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8). Eating, drinking
and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and
processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and
smoking. Do not breathe vapour or mist. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing.
Avoid release to the environment. Refer to special instructions/safety data sheet. Use
only with adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is
inadequate. Do not enter storage areas and confined spaces unless adequately
ventilated. Keep in the original container or an approved alternative made from a
compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in use. Store and use away from
heat, sparks, open flame or any other ignition source. Use explosion-proof electrical
(ventilating, lighting and material handling) equipment. Use non-sparking tools. Take
precautionary measures against electrostatic discharges. To avoid fire or explosion,
dissipate static electricity during transfer by earthing and bonding containers and
equipment before transferring material. Empty containers retain product residue and
can be hazardous.
Storage : Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in a segregated and approved area.
Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-
ventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see section 10) and food and
drink. Eliminate all ignition sources. Separate from oxidizing materials. Keep
container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been
opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store
in unlabelled containers. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental
contamination.
Packaging materials
Recommended : Use original container.

TWA: 200 ppm 8 hour(s).
Recommended monitoring : If this product contains ingredients with exposure limits, personal, workplace
procedures atmosphere or biological monitoring may be required to determine the effectiveness
of the ventilation or other control measures and/or the necessity to use respiratory
protective equipment. Reference should be made to European Standard EN 689 for
methods for the assessment of exposure by inhalation to chemical agents and
national guidance documents for methods for the determination of hazardous
substances.
Exposure controls
Occupational exposure : Use only with adequate ventilation. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation
controls or other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants
below any recommended or statutory limits. The engineering controls also need to
keep gas, vapour or dust concentrations below any lower explosive limits. Use
explosion-proof ventilation equipment.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
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.
Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing.
Wash contaminated clothing before reusing.
Respiratory protection : Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the
hazards of the product and the safe working limits of the selected respirator.
organic vapour filter (Type A)
A1: < 1000 ppm; A2: < 5000 ppm; A3: < 10000 ppm
Hand protection : Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should
be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates
this is necessary. Recommended: Butyl rubber/nitrile rubber gloves.
Eye protection Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk
assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists,
gases or dusts.
Skin protection : Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task
being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before
handling this product. Recommended: Use barrier skin cream.
Environmental exposure : Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure
controls they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some
cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment
will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
