Inhalation
Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If not
breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or
oxygen by trained personnel. It may be dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-tomouth resuscitation. Get medical attention if adverse health effects persist or are severe. If
unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately. Maintain an open
airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.
Skin contact
Flush contaminated skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get
medical attention if symptoms occur.
Eye contact
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids.
Check for and remove any contact lenses. Get medical attention if irritation occurs.
Ingestion
Wash out mouth with water. Remove dentures if any. Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest
in a position comfortable for breathing. If material has been swallowed and the exposed person
is conscious, give small quantities of water to drink. Stop if the exposed person feels sick as
vomiting may be dangerous. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical
personnel. If vomiting occurs, the head should be kept low so that vomit does not enter the
lungs. Get medical attention if adverse health effects persist or are severe. Never give anything
by mouth to an unconscious person. If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical
attention immediately. Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or
waistband.
Most important
symptoms/effects, acute and
delayed
Skin or eye irritation.
Indication of immediate medical
attention and special treatment
needed.
Contact poison treatment specialist immediately if large quantities have been ingested or
inhaled.
General information
Note to physician, treat symptomatically.
Suitable extinguishing media
Use dry chemical, CO2, alcohol-resistant foam or water spray (fog).
Unsuitable extinguishing media
water jet
Specific hazards arising from
the chemical
No specific fire or explosion hazard.
Special protective equipment
and precautions for firefighters
Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.
Fire fighting
equipment/instructions
Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if there is a
fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Fire water contaminated with this
material must be contained and prevented from being discharged to any waterway, sewer or
drain.
Specific methods
None
General fire hazards
None
Personal precautions,
protective equipment and
emergency procedures
Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Do
not touch or walk through spilled material. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment. If
specialized clothing is required to deal with the spillage, take note of any information in Section 8
on suitable and unsuitable materials. See also the information in "For non-emergency
personnel".
Methods and materials for
containment and cleaning up
Large Spills: Move containers from spill area. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses,
basements or confined areas. Vacuum or sweep up material and place in a designated, labeled
waste container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Note: see section 1 of SDS
for emergency contact information and section 13 of SDS for waste disposal.
Small Spills: Move containers from spill area. Vacuum or sweep up material and place in a
There are no additional ingredients present which, within the current knowledge of the supplier and in the concentrations applicable, are
classified as hazardous to health or the environment and hence require reporting in this section.

designated, labeled waste container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Note:
see section 1 of SDS for emergency contact information and section 13 of SDS for waste
disposal.
Environmental precautions
Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and
sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental pollution
(sewers, waterways, soil or air).
Precautions for safe handling
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8 of SDS). Eating, drinking and
smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed.
Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking. See also Section 8
for additional information on hygiene measures.
Conditions for safe storage,
including any incompatibilities
Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original container protected from direct
sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see section 10
of SDS) and food and drink. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use.
Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent
leakage. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Use appropriate containment to avoid
environmental contamination.

Appropriate engineering
controls
No special ventilation requirements. Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control
worker exposure to airborne contaminants. If this product contains ingredients with exposure
limits, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep
worker exposure below any recommended or statutory limits.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection
Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk assessment
indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists, gases or dusts.
Skin protection
Hand
Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at
all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary.
Other
Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection measures should be selected based on
the task being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before
handling this product.
Respiratory protection
Use a properly fitted, particulate filter respirator complying with an approved standard if a risk
assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must be based on known or
anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe working limits of the
selected respirator.
Thermal hazards
None.
General hygiene
considerations
Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before eating,
smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period. Appropriate techniques
should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing. Contaminated work clothing should
not be allowed out of the workplace. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that
eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.
