Dispose of contents and container in accordance with all local, regional, national and
international regulations.
Hazards not otherwise
classified
Section 3. Composition/information on ingredients

identification
CAS number/other identifiers
Occupational exposure limits, if available, are listed in Section 8.
Any concentration shown as a range is to protect confidentiality or is due to batch variation.
Get medical attention immediately. Call a poison center or physician. Wash out mouth
with water. Remove dentures if any. Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a
position comfortable for breathing. If material has been swallowed and the exposed
person is conscious, give small quantities of water to drink. Stop if the exposed person
feels sick as vomiting may be dangerous. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do
so by medical personnel. If vomiting occurs, the head should be kept low so that vomit
does not enter the lungs. Chemical burns must be treated promptly by a physician.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If unconscious, place in
recovery position and get medical attention immediately. Maintain an open airway.
Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.
Get medical attention immediately. Call a poison center or physician. 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. Chemical burns
must be treated promptly by a physician.
Get medical attention immediately. Call a poison center or physician. Flush
contaminated skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.
Wash contaminated clothing thoroughly with water before removing it, or wear gloves.
Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. Chemical burns must be treated promptly by a
physician. Wash clothing before reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse.
Get medical attention immediately. Call a poison center or physician. Remove victim to
fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If it is suspected that
fumes are still present, the rescuer should wear an appropriate mask or self-contained
breathing apparatus. If not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest
occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel. It may be
dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If
unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately. Maintain
an open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. In case of
inhalation of decomposition products in a fire, symptoms may be delayed. The exposed
person may need to be kept under medical surveillance for 48 hours.

Section 5. Fire-fighting measures
Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if
there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable
training. Move containers from fire area if this can be done without risk. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
Hazardous thermal
decomposition products
Specific hazards arising
from the chemical
Decomposition products may include the following materials:
carbon dioxide
carbon monoxide
nitrogen oxides
Extremely flammable aerosol. In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and
the container may burst, with the risk of a subsequent explosion. Gas may accumulate
in low or confined areas or travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and
flash back, causing fire or explosion. Bursting aerosol containers may be propelled
from a fire at high speed. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard.
Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire.

Section 6. Accidental release measures
Environmental precautions
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Use spark-proof tools and
explosion-proof equipment. Approach release from upwind. 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). Dispose of via a
licensed waste disposal contractor. Contaminated absorbent material may pose the
same hazard as the spilled product. Note: see Section 1 for emergency contact
information and Section 13 for waste disposal.
No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.
Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from
entering. In the case of aerosols being ruptured, care should be taken due to the rapid
escape of the pressurized contents and propellant. If a large number of containers are
ruptured, treat as a bulk material spillage according to the instructions in the clean-up
section. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Shut off all ignition sources. No
flares, smoking or flames in hazard area. Do not breathe vapor or mist. Provide
adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put
on appropriate personal protective equipment.
Avoid dispersal of spilled 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).
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Use spark-proof tools and
explosion-proof equipment. Dilute with water and mop up if water-soluble. Alternatively,
or if water-insoluble, absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste
disposal container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
For non-emergency
personnel
If specialized clothing is required to deal with the spillage, take note of any information in
Section 8 on suitable and unsuitable materials. See also the information in "For nonemergency personnel".
Section 7. Handling and storage
Advice on general
occupational hygiene
Conditions for safe storage,
including any
incompatibilities
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. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before
entering eating areas. See also Section 8 for additional information on hygiene
measures.
Store in accordance with local regulations. Store away from direct sunlight in a dry, cool
and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see Section 10) and food
and drink. Store locked up. Eliminate all ignition sources. Use appropriate
containment to avoid environmental contamination.
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Pressurized
container: protect from sunlight and do not expose to temperatures exceeding 50°C. Do
not pierce or burn, even after use. Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing. Do not
breathe vapor or mist. Do not ingest. Avoid breathing gas. Use only with adequate
ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. 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 only non-sparking
tools. Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous.

Section 8. Exposure controls/personal protection
Environmental exposure
controls
Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure
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.
Appropriate engineering
controls
Use only with adequate ventilation. If user operations generate dust, fumes, gas, vapor
or mist, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation 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, vapor or dust concentrations
below any lower explosive limits. Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment.
