Section 3. Composition/information on ingredients
2,2',2''-nitrilotriethanol
Oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with oxirane, monobutyl ether
1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one
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.
Occupational exposure limits, if available, are listed in Section 8.
Any concentration shown as a range is to protect confidentiality or is due to batch variation.
Get medical attention immediately. Call a poison center or physician. 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. Chemical burns must be treated promptly by a physician.
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.
Get medical attention immediately. Call a poison center or physician. Immediately flush
eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Check for and
remove any contact lenses. Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. Chemical burns

Get medical attention immediately. Call a poison center or physician. Wash with plenty
of soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash contaminated
clothing thoroughly with water before removing it, or wear gloves. Continue to rinse for
at least 10 minutes. Chemical burns must be treated promptly by a physician. In the
event of any complaints or symptoms, avoid further exposure. Wash clothing before
reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse.
Get medical attention immediately. Call a poison center or physician. Remove victim to
fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If it is suspected that
fumes are still present, the rescuer should wear an appropriate mask or self-contained
breathing apparatus. 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-to-mouth resuscitation. 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. In case of
inhalation of decomposition products in a fire, symptoms may be delayed. The exposed
person may need to be kept under medical surveillance for 48 hours.

Section 6. Accidental release measures
Environmental precautions
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Approach release from
upwind. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas. Wash
spillages into an effluent treatment plant or proceed as follows. Contain and collect
spillage with non-combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or
diatomaceous earth and place in container for disposal according to local regulations
(see Section 13). Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Contaminated
absorbent material may pose the same hazard as the spilled product. Note: see
Section 1 for emergency contact information and Section 13 for waste disposal.
No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.
Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from
entering. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Do not breathe vapor or mist.
Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is
inadequate. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment.
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).
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Dilute with water and mop up
if water-soluble. Alternatively, or if water-insoluble, absorb with an inert dry material and
place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Dispose of via a licensed waste
disposal contractor.
