Occupational exposure limits, if available, are listed in Section 8.

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, are PBTs or vPvBs or have been
assigned a workplace exposure limit and hence require reporting in this section.

Type

If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show this container or label.
Keep person warm and at rest. Do NOT induce vomiting.

Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and
water or use recognized skin cleanser. Do NOT use solvents or thinners.

Remove to fresh air. Keep person warm and at rest. If not breathing, if breathing is
irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by
trained personnel.

SECTION 4: First aid measures

General

In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If unconscious, place in recovery
position and seek medical advice.

:

See toxicological information (Section 11)

There are no data available on the mixture itself. Procedure used to derive the classification according to Regulation
(EC) No. 1272/2008 [CLP/GHS]. See Sections 2 and 3 for details.

Exposure to component solvent vapor concentrations in excess of the stated occupational exposure limit may result in
adverse health effects such as mucous membrane and respiratory system irritation and adverse effects on the
kidneys, liver and central nervous system. Symptoms and signs include headache, dizziness, fatigue, muscular
weakness, drowsiness and, in extreme cases, loss of consciousness.
Solvents may cause some of the above effects by absorption through the skin. Repeated or prolonged contact with
the mixture may cause removal of natural fat from the skin, resulting in non-allergic contact dermatitis and absorption
through the skin.
If splashed in the eyes, the liquid may cause irritation and reversible damage.
Ingestion may cause nausea, diarrhea and vomiting.
This takes into account, where known, delayed and immediate effects and also chronic effects of components from
short-term and long-term exposure by oral, inhalation and dermal routes of exposure and eye contact.

Special protective actions
for fire-fighters

:

Fire will produce dense black smoke. Exposure to decomposition products may
cause a health hazard.

Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water. Do not release runoff from fire to
drains or watercourses.

Fire-fighters should wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus
(SCBA) and full turnout gear.

Decomposition products may include the following materials: carbon monoxide,
carbon dioxide, smoke, oxides of nitrogen.

Exclude sources of ignition and ventilate the area. Avoid breathing vapor or mist.
Refer to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8.

SECTION 6: Accidental release measures

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). Preferably clean with a detergent.
Avoid using solvents.

Do not allow to enter drains or watercourses. If the product contaminates lakes,
rivers, or sewers, inform the appropriate authorities in accordance with local
regulations.

information in Section 8 on suitable and unsuitable materials. See also the
information in "For non-emergency personnel".

:

Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering.

SECTION 7: Handling and storage

Prevent the creation of flammable or explosive concentrations of vapors in air and
avoid vapor concentrations higher than the occupational exposure limits.
In addition, the product should only be used in areas from which all naked lights and
other sources of ignition have been excluded. Electrical equipment should be
protected to the appropriate standard.
Mixture may charge electrostatically: always use earthing leads when transferring
from one container to another.
Operators should wear antistatic footwear and clothing and floors should be of the
conducting type.
Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. No sparking tools should be used.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid the inhalation of dust, particulates, spray or

mist arising from the application of this mixture. Avoid inhalation of dust from
sanding.
Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is
handled, stored and processed.
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8).
Never use pressure to empty. Container is not a pressure vessel.
Always keep in containers made from the same material as the original one.
Comply with the health and safety at work laws.
Do not allow to enter drains or watercourses.

Information on fire and explosion protection

Vapors are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Vapors may form
explosive mixtures with air.

When operators, whether spraying or not, have to work inside the spray booth,
ventilation is unlikely to be sufficient to control particulates and solvent vapors in all
cases. In such circumstances, they should wear a compressed-air-fed respirator
during the spraying process and until the particulate and solvent vapor
concentrations have fallen below the exposure limits.

Store in accordance with local regulations.

Notes on joint storage

Keep away from: oxidizing agents, strong alkalis, strong acids.

Additional information on storage conditions

Observe label precautions. Store in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area. Keep away
from heat and direct sunlight. Keep away from sources of ignition. No smoking.
Prevent unauthorized access. Containers that have been opened must be carefully
resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.

:

Good housekeeping standards, regular safe removal of waste materials and regular maintenance of spray booth
filters will minimise the risks of spontaneous combustion and other fire hazards.

Before use of this material please refer to the Exposure Scenario(s) if attached for the specific end use,
control measures and additional PPE considerations.

Contaminated absorbent material may pose the same hazard as the spilled product.
