4. First-aid measures
Inhalation
Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Oxygen or artificial
respiration if needed. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim inhaled the substance. Induce
artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper
respiratory medical device. Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell.
Skin contact
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing
contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.
Eye contact
Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If easy to do, remove contact lenses. Get
medical attention if irritation develops and persists.
Ingestion
Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Only induce vomiting at the instruction of medical
personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If vomiting occurs, keep head low
so that stomach content doesn't get into the lungs.
Most important symptoms/effects,
acute and delayed
Irritant effects. Symptoms may include stinging, tearing, redness, swelling, and blurred vision. Defatting
of the skin. Rash. Symptoms of overexposure can include shortness of breath. drowsiness, headaches,
confusion, decreased coordination, visual disturbances and vomiting, and are reversible if exposure is
stopped.
Indication of immediate medical
attention and special treatment
needed
Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically. In case of shortness of breath, give
oxygen. Keep victim under observation. Symptoms may be delayed.
General information
In the case of accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately (show the label where
possible). Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to
protect themselves.
5. Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media
Alcohol resistant foam. Water fog. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Unsuitable extinguishing media
Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.
Specific hazards arising from the
chemical
Contents under pressure. Pressurized container may explode when exposed to heat or flame.
Special protective equipment and
precautions for firefighters
Firefighters must use standard protective equipment including flame retardant coat, helmet with face
shield, gloves, rubber boots, and in endosed spaces. SCBA. Structural firefighters protective clothing
will only provide limited protection.
Fire-fighting equipment/instructions
In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Use standard firefighting procedures and
consider the hazards of other involved materials. Move containers from fire area if you can do so
without risk. Water runoff can cause environmental damage.
Specific methods
Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials. Move
container from fire area if it can be done without risk. In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe
fumes.
General fire hazards
Extremely flammable aerosol.
6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective
equipment and emergency
procedures
Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Keep out of low areas.
Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area). Wear appropriate
personal protective equipment. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing
appropriate protective clothing. Avoid inhalation of vapors or mists. Ventilate closed spaces before entering
them. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. Use personal
protection recommended in Section 8 of the SDS.
Containment and Cleaning up
precautionary measures against static discharge. Use only non-sparking tools. Keep combustible (wood,
paper, oil, etc.) away from spilled material. This material is classified as a water pollutant under the Clean
Water Act and should be prevented from contaminating soil or from entering sewage and drainage systems
which lead to waterways.
Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is possible.
Safety Data Sheet

Use a non-combustible material like vermiculite, sand or earth to soak up the product and place into a
container for later disposal. Use water spray to reduce vapors or divert vapor cloud drift. Following product
recovery, flush area with water.
Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to remove
residual contamination.
Never retum spills in original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
Environmental precautions
Avoid release to the environment. Contact local authorities in case of spillage to drain/aquatic environment.
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not contaminate water. Avoid discharge into drains,
water courses or onto the ground.
7. Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Do not handle, store or open near an open flame, sources of heat or sources of ignition. Protect material
from direct sunlight. Do not smoke. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. All equipment
used when handling the product must be grounded. Use non-sparking tools and explosion-proof
equipment. Avoid breathing mist or vapor. Avoid contact with skin. Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid
prolonged exposure. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Avoid release to the
environment. Do not empty into drains.
Conditions for safe storage,
including any incompatibilities
Level 3 Aerosol.
Contents under pressure. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Keep container tightly closed.

Biological limit values
No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s).
Appropriate engineering Controls
Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be
matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation. or other engineering
controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been
established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection
Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles). Eye wash fountain is recommended.
Skin protection
Hand protection
Chemical resistant gloves are recommended.
Other
Avoid contact with clothing. Wear suitable protective clothing. Chemical resistant gloves.
Respiratory protection
No personal respiratory protective equipment normally required. Use a positive-pressure air-supplied
respirator if there is any potential for an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or any other
circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection.
General hygiene considerations
When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing
after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and
protective equipment to remove contaminants.
