May cause temporary itching, tingling, burning or numbness of exposed skin, called paresthesia.
Very toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
General advice : Have the product container, label or Material Safety Data
Sheet with you when calling the Syngenta emergency number,
a poison control center or physician, or going for treatment.
Inhalation : Remove to fresh air.
If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial
respiration.
Keep patient warm and at rest.
Call a physician or Poison Control Centre immediately.
Skin contact : Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately.
Wash off immediately with plenty of water.
If skin irritation persists, call a physician.
Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.
Eye contact : Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids,
for at least 15 minutes.
Remove contact lenses.
Immediate medical attention is required.
Medical advice : Skin contact paresthesia effects (itching, tingling, burning or
numbness) are transient, lasting up to 24 hours. Treat
symptomatically.
Do not induce vomiting: contains petroleum distillates and/or
aromatic solvents.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing : Extinguishing media - small fires
media Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or
carbon dioxide.
Extinguishing media - large fires
Alcohol-resistant foam
Water spray
Extinguishing media : Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread
which must not be used fire.
for safety reasons
Specific hazards during : As the product contains combustible organic components, fire
fire fighting will produce dense black smoke containing hazardous products
of combustion (see section 10).
Exposure to decomposition products may be a hazard to
health.
Special protective : Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing
equipment for fire- apparatus.
fighters
Further information : Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water

courses.
Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water spray.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions : Refer to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8.
Environmental : Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
precautions Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.
Methods for cleaning up : Contain spillage, and then collect with non-combustible
absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth,
vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according to
local / national regulations (see section 13).
Additional advice : If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform
respective authorities.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING
Advice on safe handling : No special protective measures against fire required.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

(petroleum), light

ENGINEERING MEASURES
Containment and/or segregation is the most reliable technical protection measure if exposure
cannot be eliminated.
The extent of these protection measures depends on the actual risks in use.
If airborne mists or vapors are generated, use local exhaust ventilation controls.
Assess exposure and use any additional measures to keep airborne levels below any relevant
exposure limit.
Where necessary, seek additional occupational hygiene advice.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Protective measures : The use of technical measures should always have priority
over the use of personal protective equipment.
When selecting personal protective equipment, seek
appropriate professional advice.
Personal protective equipment should be certified to
appropriate standards.
Respiratory protection : A combination gas, vapor and particulate respirator may be
necessary until effective technical measures are installed.
Protection provided by air-purifying respirators is limited.
Use a self-contained breathing apparatus in cases of
emergency spills, when exposure levels are unknown, or under
any circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not
provide adequate protection.
Hand protection : Chemical resistant gloves should be used.
Gloves should be certified to an appropriate standard.
Gloves should have a minimum breakthrough time that is
appropriate to the duration of exposure.
The breakthrough time of gloves varies according to the
thickness, material and manufacturer.
Gloves should be changed when breakthrough is suspected.
Suitable material:
Nitrile rubber
Eye protection : Eye protection is not usually required.
Follow any site specific eye protection policies.
Skin and body protection : Assess the exposure and select chemical resistant clothing
based on the potential for contact and the permeation /
penetration characteristics of the clothing material.
Wash with soap and water after removing protective clothing.
Decontaminate clothing before re-use, or use disposable
equipment (suits, aprons, sleeves, boots, etc.)
