Inhalation

If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed, where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.
Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if
necessary.
Transport to hospital, or doctor, without delay.

Ingestion

Not considered a normal route of entry.

If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.

If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration.
Observe the patient carefully.
Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious.
Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as casualty can comfortably drink.
Seek medical advice.

4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

5.3. Advice for firefighters

Fire Fighting

WARNING: EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS / ARTICLES PRESENT!

Evacuate all personnel and move upwind.
Prevent re-entry.
Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.
May detonate and burning material may be propelled from fire.
Wear full-body protective clothing with breathing apparatus.
Prevent, by any means available, spillage and fire effluent from entering drains and water courses.

the event of ignition or initiation. The effects are largely confined to the package and no projection of fragments of appreciable size or range is to be
expected. An external fire shall not cause virtually instantaneous explosion of almost the entire contents of the package.
Compatibility Group G explosives are pyrotechnic substances, or article containing a pyrotechnic substances, or article containing both an explosive
substance and an illuminating, incendiary, tear- or smoke-producing substance (other than a water-activated article or one containing white phosphorus,
phosphides, a pyrophoric substance, a flammable liquid or gel, or hypergolic liquids).
Combustible. Will burn if ignited.
Combustion products include:
,
carbon monoxide (CO)
,

7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Suitable container

All packaging for Class 1 Goods shall be in accordance with the requirements of the relevant Code for the transport of Dangerous Goods.
Class 1 is unique in that the type of packaging used frequently has a very decisive effect on the hazard and therefore on the assignment to a particular
division

MATERIAL DATA

8.2. Exposure controls

8.2.1. Appropriate engineering
controls

Engineering controls for explosive articles are designed to reduce or eliminate fragmentation and/or blast effects either by suppression of the source of
detonation or by protection at the exposed location, or both. Barricades, shields, contained detonation chambers, and “zero quantity-distance (Q-D)”
magazines are examples of engineering controls.
Engineering controls are designed and tested in a rigorous fashion. The construction of the engineering control must be carefully duplicated in field
applications to assure it will function properly.
It is thus imperative that engineering controls be built exactly in accordance with the design package, and that they be used only for the articles
(e.g.munitions) for which they are authorised.

8.2.2. Personal protection

Eye and face protection

Safety glasses with side shields
Chemical goggles

Skin protection See Hand protection below

Hands/feet protection

Wear chemical protective gloves, e.g. PVC.
Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, e.g. Rubber

Body protection See Other protection below

Other protection

Fire resistant/ heat resistant gloves where practical, otherwise
Heavy-duty chemically resistant gloves capable of providing short-term protection against spontaneous ignition.

Safety footwear
Hard hat

Asthma-like symptoms may continue for months or even years after exposure to the material ceases. This may be due to a non-allergenic condition known as
reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) which can occur following exposure to high levels of highly irritating compound. Key criteria for the
diagnosis of RADS include the absence of preceding respiratory disease, in a non-atopic individual, with abrupt onset of persistent asthma-like symptoms

within minutes to hours of a documented exposure to the irritant. A reversible airflow pattern, on spirometry, with the presence of moderate to severe
bronchial hyperreactivity on methacholine challenge testing and the lack of minimal lymphocytic inflammation, without eosinophilia, have also been included
in the criteria for diagnosis of RADS. RADS (or asthma) following an irritating inhalation is an infrequent disorder with rates related to the concentration of
and duration of exposure to the irritating substance. Industrial bronchitis, on the other hand, is a disorder that occurs as result of exposure due to high
concentrations of irritating substance (often particulate in nature) and is completely reversible after exposure ceases. The disorder is characterised by
dyspnea, cough and mucus production.

Classification of the preparation and its individual components has drawn on official and authoritative sources as well as independent review by the Chemwatch Classification committee using
available literature references.

The SDS is a Hazard Communication tool and should be used to assist in the Risk Assessment. Many factors determine whether the reported Hazards are Risks in the workplace or other
settings. Risks may be determined by reference to Exposures Scenarios. Scale of use, frequency of use and current or available engineering controls must be considered.

For detailed advice on Personal Protective Equipment, refer to the following EU CEN Standards:
EN 166 Personal eye-protection
EN 340 Protective clothing
EN 374 Protective gloves against chemicals and micro-organisms
EN 13832 Footwear protecting against chemicals
EN 133 Respiratory protective devices
