Potential health effects
Primary routes of exposure
Routes of entry for solids and liquids include eye and skin contact, ingestion and inhalation. Routes of entry for
gases include inhalation and eye contact. Skin contact may be a route of entry for liquified gases.
Irritation:
The product has not been tested. The statement has been derived from the properties of the individual
components.
4. First-aid measures
General advice:
First aid personnel should pay attention to their own safety. Remove contaminated clothing.
If inhaled:
If difficulties occur after vapour/aerosol has been inhaled, remove to fresh air and seek medical attention.

If on skin:
After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water and soap. Under no circumstances should
organic solvent be used. If irritation develops, seek medical attention.
If in eyes:
Flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. If symptoms persist, seek medical advice.
If swallowed:
Rinse mouth immediately and then drink plenty of water, seek medical attention. Do not induce vomiting
unless told to by a poison control center or doctor.
5. Fire-fighting measures
Flash point: not applicable
Lower explosion limit: No data available.
Upper explosion limit: No data available.
Self-ignition temperature: not self-igniting
Suitable extinguishing media:
foam, water spray, dry extinguishing media, carbon dioxide
Unsuitable extinguishing media for safety reasons:
water jet
Hazards during fire-fighting:
carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, harmful vapours, nitrogen oxides, fumes/smoke, carbon black
Protective equipment for fire-fighting:
Firefighters should be equipped with self-contained breathing apparatus and turn-out gear.
Further information:
Sealed containers should be protected against heat as this results in pressure build-up. Keep containers cool
by spraying with water if exposed to fire.
6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions:
Use personal protective clothing. Do not breathe vapour/aerosol/spray mists. Sources of ignition should be
kept well clear. Handle in accordance with good building materials hygiene and safety practice.
Environmental precautions:
Contain contaminated water/firefighting water. Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater.
Cleanup:
For small amounts: Pick up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, earth etc.). Dispose of contaminated
material as prescribed.
For large amounts: Pump off product.
7. Handling and storage
Handling
General advice:
Avoid aerosol formation. Avoid inhalation of mists/vapours. Avoid skin contact. No special measures
necessary provided product is used correctly.

8. Exposure controls and personal protection
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection:
Wear respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate. Wear a NIOSH-certified (or equivalent) respirator as
necessary.
Hand protection:
Chemical resistant protective gloves
Eye protection:
Safety glasses with side-shields.
Body protection:
Body protection must be chosen based on level of activity and exposure.
General safety and hygiene measures:
In order to prevent contamination while handling, closed working clothes and working gloves should be used.
Handle in accordance with good building materials hygiene and safety practice. When using, do not eat, drink
or smoke. Hands and/or face should be washed before breaks and at the end of the shift. At the end of the shift
the skin should be cleaned and skin-care agents applied. Gloves must be inspected regularly and prior to each
use. Replace if necessary (e.g. pinhole leaks).
