General information

Move to fresh air. Call a physician if symptoms develop or persist.
Remove contaminated clothing immediately and wash skin with soap and water. In case of

eczema or other skin disorders: Seek medical attention and take along these instructions. Wash
contaminated clothing 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.

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. Severe eye irritation. Symptoms may
include stinging, tearing, redness, swelling, and blurred vision. Skin irritation. May cause redness
and pain. May cause an allergic skin reaction. Dermatitis. Rash.

Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically. Thermal burns: Flush with water
immediately. While flushing, remove clothes which do not adhere to affected area. Call an
ambulance. Continue flushing during transport to hospital. Keep victim under observation.
Symptoms may be delayed.

Take off all contaminated clothing immediately. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the
material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves. Wash contaminated clothing
before reuse.

Specific methods
General fire hazards

Alcohol resistant foam. Water fog. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.

Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel considerable distance to a source
of ignition and flash back. During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed.

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

In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Move containers from fire area if you can do
so without risk.

Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials.
Flammable liquid and vapor.

Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Eliminate all
ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area). Wear appropriate
protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Avoid breathing mist or vapor. Do not touch
damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ventilate
closed spaces before entering them. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages
cannot be contained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS.

7. Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Conditions for safe storage,
including any incompatibilities

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.

Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Use water spray to reduce vapors or
divert vapor cloud drift. 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. 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 discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.

Do not handle, store or open near an open flame, sources of heat or sources of ignition. Protect
material from direct sunlight. When using do not smoke. Explosion-proof general and local exhaust
ventilation. 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 get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Avoid breathing mist or vapor. Avoid prolonged
exposure. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Wash hands thoroughly after
handling. Observe good industrial hygiene practices.

Store locked up. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Prevent electrostatic charge
build-up by using common bonding and grounding techniques. Store in a cool, dry place out of
direct sunlight. Store in original tightly closed container. Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep in an
area equipped with sprinklers. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the
SDS).

General hygiene
considerations

No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s).
Explosion-proof general and local exhaust ventilation. 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 wash facilities and emergency
shower must be available when handling this product.

Face shield is recommended. Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).

Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing. Use of an impervious apron is recommended.
If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposure

limits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level (in countries where exposure limits have not
been established), an approved respirator must be worn.

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
clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants. Contaminated work clothing should not
be allowed out of the workplace.
