Supplemental information
11.13% of the mixture consists of component(s) of unknown acute hazards to the aquatic environment. 3.4% of the mixture
consists of component(s) of unknown long-term hazards to the aquatic environment.
When exposed to extreme heat or hot surfaces, vapors may decompose to harmful or fatal corrosive gases such as hydrogen
fluoride, hydrogen chloride and possibly phosgene.
If on skin: Wash with plenty of water. If skin irritation occurs: Get medical attention. Take off
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 in eyes: Rinse
cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do.
Continue rinsing. If eye irritation persists: Get medical attention. If exposed or concerned: Get
medical attention. Collect spillage.
Store in a well-ventilated place. Store locked up. Exposure to high temperature may cause can to
burst.
Dispose of contents/container in accordance with local/regional/national regulations.

equipment/instructions
Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Oxygen or
artificial respiration if needed. 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. Continue rinsing. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.
If ingestion of a large amount does occur, call a poison control center immediately. Rinse mouth.
Do not induce vomiting.
Irritation of eyes and mucous membranes. Irritation of nose and throat. Exposed individuals may
experience eye tearing, redness, and discomfort. Symptoms of overexposure may be headache,
dizziness, tiredness, nausea and vomiting. May cause redness and pain.
Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically. Keep victim warm. Keep victim
under observation. Symptoms may be delayed.
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.
Water spray. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.
Contents under pressure. When exposed to extreme heat or hot surfaces, vapors may decompose
to harmful or fatal corrosive gases such as hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride and possibly
phosgene.
Firefighters must use standard protective equipment including flame retardant coat, helmet with
face shield, gloves, rubber boots, and in enclosed spaces, SCBA.
In case of fire: Stop leak if safe to do so. Move containers from fire area if you can do so without
risk. Containers should be cooled with water to prevent vapor pressure build up.

emergency procedures
Methods and materials for
containment and cleaning up
Environmental precautions
Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Keep out of
low areas. Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Do not touch
damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Avoid
inhalation of vapors and spray mists. Avoid breathing gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. 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). Keep
combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.) away from spilled material. This material is classified as a
from entering sewage and drainage systems which lead to waterways. Stop the flow of material, if
this is without risk. Collect spillage. Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean
surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination. 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.
7. Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Conditions for safe storage,
including any incompatibilities
Obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read
and understood. Pressurized container: Do not pierce or burn, even after use. Do not use if spray
button is missing or defective. Do not spray on a naked flame or any other incandescent material.
Do not smoke while using or until sprayed surface is thoroughly dry. Do not cut, weld, solder, drill,
grind, or expose containers to heat, flame, sparks, or other sources of ignition. Use caution around
energized equipment. The metal container will conduct electricity if it contacts a live source. This
may result in injury to the user from electrical shock and/or flash fire. Avoid inhalation of vapors
and spray mists. Avoid breathing gas. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid prolonged
exposure. Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Should be handled in closed systems, if
possible. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Observe good industrial hygiene
practices. Avoid release to the environment. Do not empty into drains. For product usage
instructions, please see the product label.
Level 1 Aerosol.
Contents under pressure. Do not expose to heat or store at temperatures above 120°F/49°C as
can may burst. Do not puncture, incinerate or crush. Do not handle or store near an open flame,
heat or other sources of ignition. Store in a well-ventilated place. Store away from incompatible
materials (see Section 10 of the SDS).

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. Eye
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection
Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).
Skin protection
Hand protection
Other
Respiratory protection
Wear protective gloves such as: Viton®. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA).
Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing. Use of an impervious apron is recommended.
Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Air monitoring is needed to
determine actual employee exposure levels.
Thermal hazards
General hygiene
considerations
Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary.
When using do not smoke. Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing
after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work
