Get medical attention if any discomfort continues.

Inhalation

Move into fresh air and keep at rest. Perform artificial respiration if breathing has stopped. Place unconscious person on the side in the recovery position and ensure breathing can take place. Ingestion

Get medical attention immediately! DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING!

Skin contact

Remove contaminated clothing immediately and wash skin with soap and water. DO NOT use solvents or thinners

Eye contact

Make sure to remove any contact lenses from the eyes before rinsing. Immediately flush with plenty of water or eyewash solution for up to 10 minutes. Consult a physician for specific advice.

Protective equipment for fire-fighters

Self contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.

SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Avoid inhalation of vapours and contact with skin and eyes. Ensure suitable personal protection (including respiratory protection) during removal of spillages in a confined area.

6.2. Environmental precautions

Do not allow to enter drains, sewers or watercourses. Contain spillages with sand, earth or any suitable adsorbent material. Spillages or uncontrolled discharges into watercourses must be IMMEDIATELY alerted to the Environmental Agency or other appropriate regulatory body.

6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Collect with absorbent, non-combustible material into suitable containers. Collect spillage in containers, seal securely and deliver for disposal according to local regulations.

6.4. Reference to other sections

For personal protection, see section 8.

SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE

7.1. Precautions for safe handling

Read and follow manufacturer's recommendations. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Risk of vapour concentration on the floor and in low-lying areas. Use explosion proof electric equipment. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using the product. Avoid inhalation of vapours/spray and contact with skin and eyes. The Manual Handling Operations Regulations may apply to the handling of containers of this product. To assist employers, the following method of calculating the weight for any pack size is given. Take the pack size volume in litres and multiply this figure by the specific gravity value given in section 9. This will give the net weight of the coating in kilograms. Allowance will then have to be made for the immediate packaging to give an approximate gross weight.

7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Keep containers tightly closed. Keep upright. Protect from light, including direct sunrays. Store in closed original container at temperatures between 5°C and 25°C. Store separated from: Oxidising material. Acids. Alkalis. Storage Class

Flammable liquid storage. The storage and use of this product is subject to the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations (DSEAR). The requirements are given in the HSE Approved Code of Practice and Guidance, Storage od Danderous Substances: DSEAR. Up to 250 litres of liquids with a flashpoint above 32C but below 55C may be kept in a workroom provided they are kept in closed containers in a marked, fire-resisting cupboard or bin. Larger quantities must be kept in a separate , marked storeroom conforming to the structural requirements contained in the HSE guidance note Storage of Flammable Liquids in Containers.

7.3. Specific end use(s)

The identified uses for this product are detailed in Section 1.2.

UNIVERSAL DEGREASER CLEANER

Process conditions

Use engineering controls to reduce air contamination to permissible exposure level.

Engineering measures

Provide adequate ventilation, including appropriate local extraction, to ensure that the defined occupational exposure limit is not exceeded.

Respiratory equipment

No specific recommendation made, but respiratory protection must be used if the general level exceeds the recommended occupational exposure limit. In case of inadequate ventilation, use air-supplied full-mask. Hand protection

Wear protective gloves. The most suitable glove must be chosen in consultation with the gloves supplier, who can inform about the breakthrough time of the glove material. Barrier cream applied before work may make it easier to clean the skin after exposure, but does not prevent absorption through the skin. Eye protection

Wear splash-proof eye goggles to prevent any possibility of eye contact.

Hygiene measures

Wash promptly with soap & water if skin becomes contaminated. Remove contaminated clothing and wash the skin thoroughly with soap and water after work.
