Supplemental information
93.12% of the mixture consists of component(s) of unknown acute hazards to the aquatic environment.
Obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read
and understood. Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking. Keep
container tightly closed. Ground/bond container and receiving equipment. Use explosion-proof
electrical/ventilating/lighting equipment. Use only non-sparking tools. Take precautionary
measures against static discharge. Use only with adequate ventilation; maintain ventilation during
use and until all vapors are gone. Open doors and windows or use other means to ensure a fresh
air supply during use and while product is drying. If you experience any symptoms listed on this
label, increase ventilation or leave the area. Do not breathe mist or vapor. Wash thoroughly after
handling. Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. Avoid release
to the environment.
If swallowed: Immediately call a poison center/doctor. Do NOT induce vomiting. If on skin: Wash
contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. If inhaled: Remove person to fresh air and keep
comfortable for breathing. Call a poison center/doctor if you feel unwell. If exposed or concerned:
Get medical attention. In case of fire: Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread
the fire.
Keep cool. Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed. Store locked up.
Dispose of contents/container in accordance with local/regional/national regulations.
Static accumulating flammable liquid can become electrostatically charged even in bonded and
grounded equipment. Sparks may ignite liquid and vapor. May cause flash fire or explosion.

General information
Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Call a POISON
CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell.
Rinse skin with water/shower. If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. Take off
contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if
present and easy to do. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.
Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Rinse mouth. Do not induce vomiting. If
vomiting occurs, keep head low so that stomach content doesn't get into the lungs. Aspiration may
cause pulmonary edema and pneumonitis.
Direct contact with eyes may cause temporary irritation. Symptoms of overexposure may be
headache, dizziness, tiredness, nausea and vomiting. May cause redness and pain. Prolonged
exposure may cause chronic effects.
Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically. Keep victim under observation.
Symptoms may be delayed.
Take off all contaminated clothing immediately. IF exposed or concerned: Get medical
advice/attention. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take
precautions to protect themselves. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
5. Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media
Unsuitable extinguishing
media
Water fog. Foam. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, sand or earth may
be used for small fires only.
Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.

Specific hazards arising from
the chemical
Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel considerable distance to a source
of ignition and flash back. This product is a poor conductor of electricity and can become
electrostatically charged. If sufficient charge is accumulated, ignition of flammable mixtures can
occur. To reduce potential for static discharge, use proper bonding and grounding procedures.
This liquid may accumulate static electricity when filling properly grounded containers. Static
electricity accumulation may be significantly increased by the presence of small quantities of water
or other contaminants. Material will float and may ignite on surface of water. During fire, gases
hazardous to health may be formed.
Special protective equipment
Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.
and precautions for firefighters
Fire-fighting
equipment/instructions
General fire hazards
In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Move containers from fire area if you can do
so without risk.
Highly flammable liquid and vapor.
6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions,
protective equipment and
emergency procedures
Methods and materials for
containment and cleaning up
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 protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Do not touch damaged
containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Do not breathe mist
or vapor. Ventilate closed spaces before entering them. Use appropriate containment to avoid
environmental contamination. Transfer by mechanical means such as vacuum truck to a salvage
tank or other suitable container for recovery or safe disposal. Local authorities should be advised if
significant spillages cannot be contained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS.
Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area). Take
precautionary measures against static discharge. Use only non-sparking tools. Keep combustibles
(wood, paper, oil, etc.) away from spilled material.
Environmental precautions
7. Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is
possible. Cover with plastic sheet to prevent spreading. Use a non-combustible material like
vermiculite, sand or earth to soak up the product and place into a container for later disposal.
Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas. Following product recovery,
flush area with water.
Small Spills: Absorb with earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers
for later disposal. Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to
remove residual contamination.
Never return spills to original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
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. Use appropriate containment to avoid
environmental contamination.
Obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read
and understood. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Do not handle, store or open near
an open flame, sources of heat or sources of ignition. Protect material from direct sunlight.
Minimize fire risks from flammable and combustible materials (including combustible dust and
static accumulating liquids) or dangerous reactions with incompatible materials. Handling
operations that can promote accumulation of static charges include but are not limited to: mixing,
filtering, pumping at high flow rates, splash filling, creating mists or sprays, tank and container
filling, tank cleaning, sampling, gauging, switch loading, vacuum truck operations. Take
precautionary measures against static discharges. All equipment used when handling the product
must be grounded. Use non-sparking tools and explosion-proof equipment. Do not breathe mist or
vapor. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid contact during pregnancy/while nursing.
When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate personal
protective equipment. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Observe good industrial hygiene
practices. Avoid release to the environment. Do not empty into drains.
For additional information on equipment bonding and grounding, refer to the the American
Petroleum Institute (API) Recommended Practice 2003, "Protection Against Ignitions Arising out of
Static, Lightning, and Stray Currents" or National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 77,
"Recommended Practice on Static Electricity" or National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70,
"National Electrical Code".
