4. FIRST AID MEASURES

First aid measures

General advice Immediate medical attention is required.

Skin Contact Immediate medical attention is required. Wash off immediately with soap
and plenty of water while removing all contaminated clothes and shoes. For
minor skin contact, avoid spreading material on unaffected skin. For severe
burns, immediate medical attention is required.

Eye contact Immediate medical attention is required. Rinse immediately with plenty of
water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Keep eye wide open while
rinsing. Do not rub affected area. Immediately flush with plenty of water. After
initial flushing, remove any contact lenses and continue flushing for at least 15
minutes.

Inhalation Remove to fresh air. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. If
not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.

Ingestion Immediate medical attention is required. Do NOT induce vomiting. Drink plenty
of water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Remove from
exposure, lie down. Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of
water. Call a physician or poison control center immediately.

Self-protection of the first aider Use personal protective equipment as required. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or
NL195500 Alkaline pH Booster Revision Date 20-Jul-

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

Symptoms Any additional important symptoms and effects are described in Section 11:
Toxicology Information.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Note to physicians Product is a corrosive material. Use of gastric lavage or emesis is

contraindicated.
Possible perforation of stomach or esophagus should be investigated. Do not
give chemical antidotes. Asphyxia from glottal edema may occur. Marked
decrease in blood pressure may occur with moist rales, frothy sputum, and
high pulse pressure. Treat symptomatically.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

Suitable extinguishing media

Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.

Unsuitable extinguishing media Caution: Use of water spray when fighting fire may be inefficient.

Specific hazards arising from the chemical

The product causes burns of eyes, skin and mucous membranes. Thermal decomposition can lead to release of
irritating and toxic gases and vapors. In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes.

Explosion data
Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact None.
Sensitivity to Static Discharge None.

Protective equipment and precautions for firefighters

As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or
equivalent) and full protective gear.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Personal precautions Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Use personal protective equipment as
required. Avoid
contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Keep people away from and upwind of
spill/leak.

Environmental precautions

Environmental precautions Do not allow into any storm sewer drains, lakes, streams, ponds, estuaries,
oceans or other
surface water bodies. Should not be released into the environment. Dispose of
according to all local city, state and federal rules and regulations.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Methods for containment Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.

Methods for cleaning up Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal. Soak up with inert absorbent
material. Take
up mechanically, placing in appropriate containers for disposal. Clean
contaminated surface thoroughly. Prevent product from entering drains. Dam
up. After cleaning, flush away traces with water.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for safe handling

Advice on safe handling Use personal protective equipment as required. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or
clothing.
Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. In case of insufficient
ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Use only with adequate
