4. First-aid Measures
4.1 Description of First Aid Measures
GENERAL NOTES: When symptoms persist or in all cases of doubt seek medical advice.
AFTER INHALATION: Move to fresh air. Consult a physician after significant exposure.
AFTER SKIN CONTACT: Use a mild soap if available. Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing
all contaminated clothes and shoes. If skin irritation persists, call a physician.
AFTER EYE CONTACT: Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Remove
contact lenses.
AFTER INGESTION: Gently wipe or rinse the inside of the mouth with water. Give small amounts of water to drink. Do NOT
induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Self protection of the first aider:
No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. It may be dangerous to the person providing aid
to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Wash contaminated clothing thoroughly with water before removing it, or wear gloves.

4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

Toxic if swallowed. Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin.

4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

No information available on clinical testing and medical monitoring. Specific toxicological information on substances, if
available, can be found in section 11.

5. Fire-fighting Measures
5.1 Extinguishing Media:
Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical, Foam
FOR SAFETY REASONS NOT TO BE USED: Alcohol, Alcohol based solutions, any other media not listed above.

5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

No Information

5.3 Advice for firefighters

Flash back possible over considerable distance. In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Do not use a
solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire. Hazardous decomposition products formed under fire conditions. Collect
contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This must not be discharged into drains. Use water spray, alcohol-resistant
foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.

6. Accidental Release Measures

6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Ensure adequate ventilation. Use personal protective equipment. Remove all sources of ignition.
6.2 Environmental precautions
Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system. Prevent product from entering drains.
6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Contain spillage, soak up with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g.
sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and transfer to a container for disposal according to local / national regulations
(see section 13).
6.4 Reference to other sections

FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS: Please refer to EU disposal requirements or country specific disposal requirements for this
material. See Section 13 for further information.

7. Handling and Storage

7.1 Precautions for safe handling

Take necessary action to avoid static electricity discharge (which might cause ignition of organic vapours). Vapours may form
explosive mixtures with air. Prevent the creation of flammable or explosive concentrations of vapour in air and avoid vapour
concentration higher than the occupational exposure limits. Electrical equipment should be protected to the appropriate
standard. Preparation may charge electrostatically: always use earthing leads when transferring from one container to
another. Use only in area provided with appropriate exhaust ventilation. To avoid ignition of vapours by static electricity
discharge, all metal parts of the equipment must be grounded. Wear personal protective equipment. Do not breathe vapours
or spray mist. Use only explosion-proof equipment. Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.
Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke.
7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Direct sources of heat.

STORAGE CONDITIONS: Store in original container. Keep at temperatures between 4 and 38 °C. Keep locked up or in an
area accessible only to qualified or authorised persons. Store in a dry, well ventilated place away from sources of heat,
ignition and direct sunlight.
7.3 Specific end use(s)

No specific advice for end use available.
