SECTION 4: First aid measures
4.1. Description of first aid measures
Eye contact
Flush with large amounts of water. Remove contact lenses if easy to do. Continue rinsing. If signs/symptoms persist, get
medical attention.
Skin contact
Wash with soap and water. If signs/symptoms develop, get medical attention.
Inhalation
Remove person to fresh air. If you feel unwell, get medical attention.
If swallowed

Rinse mouth. If you feel unwell, get medical attention.
4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
See Section 11.1 Information on toxicological effects
4.3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment required
Not applicable
SECTION 5: Fire-fighting measures
5.1. Extinguishing media
In case of fire: Use a fire fighting agent suitable for flammable liquids and solids such as dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Closed containers exposed to heat from fire may build pressure and explode.
Hazardous Decomposition or By-Products
Substance Condition
Carbon monoxide. During combustion.
Carbon dioxide. During combustion.
Irritant vapours or gases. During combustion.
5.3. Advice for fire-fighters
Water may not effectively extinguish fire; however, it should be used to keep fire-exposed containers and surfaces cool and
prevent explosive rupture.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Ventilate the area with fresh air. For large spill, or spills in confined spaces, provide mechanical ventilation to disperse or
exhaust vapours, in accordance with good industrial hygiene practice. Warning: A motor could be an ignition source and
could cause flammable gases or vapours in the spill area to burn or explode. Refer to other sections of this SDS for
information regarding physical and health hazards, respiratory protection, ventilation, and personal protective equipment.
6.2. Environmental precautions
Avoid release to the environment. For larger spills, cover drains and build dykes to prevent entry into sewer systems or
bodies of water.
6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Contain spill. Working from around the edges of the spill inward, cover with bentonite, vermiculite, or commercially
available inorganic absorbent material. Mix in sufficient absorbent until it appears dry. Remember, adding an absorbent
material does not remove a toxic, corrosivity or flammability hazard. Collect as much of the spilled material as possible.
Clean up residue with an appropriate solvent selected by a qualified and authorised person. Ventilate the area with fresh air.
Read and follow safety precautions on the solvent label and Safety Data Sheet. Place in a closed container approved for
transportation by appropriate authorities. Seal the container. Dispose of collected material as soon as possible.
6.4. Reference to other sections
Refer to Section 8 and Section 13 for more information
SECTION 7: Handling and storage
7.1. Precautions for safe handling
Keep out of reach of children. Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on
clothing. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid contact with oxidising

agents (eg. chlorine, chromic acid etc.)
7.2. Conditions for safe storage including any incompatibilities
Store away from acids. Store away from oxidising agents. Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed.
7.3. Specific end use(s)
See information in Section 7.1 and 7.2 for handling and storage recommendations. See Section 8 for exposure controls and
personal protection recommendations.
SECTION 8: Exposure controls/personal protection
8.1 Control parameters
Occupational exposure limits
No occupational exposure limit values exist for any of the components listed in Section 3 of this Safety Data Sheet.
8.2. Exposure controls
8.2.1. Engineering controls
Use general dilution ventilation and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne exposures to below relevant Exposure
Limits and/or control dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. If ventilation is not adequate, use respiratory protection equipment.
8.2.2. Personal protective equipment (PPE)

SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
13.1 Waste treatment methods
Dispose of contents/ container in accordance with the local/regional/national/international regulations
Empty drums/barrels/containers used for transporting and handling hazardous chemicals (chemical
substances/mixtures/preparations classified as hazardous as per applicable regulations) shall be considered,stored,treated &
disposed of as hazardous wastes unless otherwise defined by applicable waste regulations. Consult with the respective
regulating authorities to determine the available treatment and disposal facilities. Incinerate in a permitted waste incineration
facility. Proper destruction may require the use of additional fuel during incineration processes. As a disposal alternative,
utilize an acceptable permitted waste disposal facility.
The coding of a waste stream is based on the application of the product by the consumer. Since this is out of the control of the
manufacturer, no waste code(s) for products after use will be provided. Please refer to the European Waste Code (EWC 2000/532/CE and amendments) to assign the correct waste code to your waste stream. Ensure national and/or regional
regulations are complied with and always use a licensed waste contractor
