Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
🫁 Inhalation Exposure
If fumes, aerosols or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area. Other measures are usually unnecessary.
🖐️ Skin Contact
If skin contact occurs: Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear. Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available). Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
👁️ Eye Contact
If in eyes, hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running water. Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a doctor, or for at least 15 minutes. Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. Seek medical attention without delay; if pain persists or recurs seek medical attention. Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel.
🍽️ Ingestion/Swallowing
If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration. Observe the patient carefully. Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious. Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as casualty can comfortably drink. Seek medical advice. For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor.
🚨 Immediate Medical Attention Required
Treat symptomatically.
Fire Fighting Measures & Emergency Response
Fire suppression methods, extinguishing media, and firefighting safety procedures
✅ Suitable Extinguishing Media
Foam. Dry chemical powder. BCF (where regulations permit). Carbon dioxide. Water spray or fog- Large fires only.
⚠️ Specific Fire Hazards
Combustible. Slight fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame. Heating may cause expansion or decomposition leading to violent rupture of containers. On combustion, may emit toxic fumes of carbon monoxide (CO).
🔥 Fire Fighting Instructions
Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard. Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves in the event of a fire. Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water courses. Use firefighting procedures suitable for surrounding area. DO NOT approach containers suspected to be hot. Cool fire exposed containers with water spray from a protected location. If safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire. Equipment should be thoroughly decontaminated after use.
🛡️ Firefighter Protection Equipment
Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves in the event of a fire.
Accidental Release Measures & Spill Response
Emergency spill cleanup procedures, containment methods, and environmental protection
🚨 Emergency Procedures
Clear area of personnel and move upwind. Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard. Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves. Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water course. Stop leak if safe to do so. No smoking, naked lights or ignition sources. Contain spill with sand, earth, or vermiculite. Collect recoverable product into labelled containers for recycling. Absorb remaining product with sand, earth or vermiculite. Collect solid residues and seal in labelled drums for disposal. Wash area and prevent runoff into drains. If contamination of drains or waterways occurs, advise emergency services.
💧 Small Spill Procedures
Remove all ignition sources. Clean up all spills immediately. Avoid breathing vapours and contact with skin and eyes. Control personal contact with the substance, by using protective equipment. Contain and absorb spill with sand, earth, inert material, or vermiculite. Wipe up. Place in a suitable, labelled container for waste disposal.
🌊 Large Spill Procedures
Clear area of personnel and move upwind. Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard. Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves. Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water course. Stop leak if safe to do so. No smoking, naked lights or ignition sources. Contain spill with sand, earth, or vermiculite. Collect recoverable product into labelled containers for recycling. Absorb remaining product with sand, earth or vermiculite. Collect solid residues and seal in labelled drums for disposal. Wash area and prevent runoff into drains. If contamination of drains or waterways occurs, advise emergency services.
🌍 Environmental Precautions
Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water course.

Safe Handling & Storage Procedures
Industrial handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace safety requirements
⚠️ Handling Precautions
• Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs.
• Avoid smoking, naked lights or ignition sources.
• Avoid contact with incompatible materials.
• When handling, DO NOT eat, drink or smoke.
• Keep containers securely sealed when not in use.
• Always wash hands with soap and water after handling.
• Use good occupational work practice.
• Observe manufacturer's storage and handling recommendations contained within this SDS.
🏪 Storage Conditions
• Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.
🧼 General Hygiene Measures
Always wash hands with soap and water after handling.
🔥 Fire Prevention Measures
Avoid smoking, naked lights or ignition sources.
Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
🧤 Hand Protection
Wear chemical protective gloves, e.g. PVC. Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After using gloves, hands should be washed and dried thoroughly. Application of a non-perfumed moisturiser is recommended. Contaminated gloves should be replaced. Gloves are rated as: Excellent when breakthrough time > 480 min; Good when breakthrough time > 20 min; Fair when breakthrough time < 20 min; Poor when glove material degrades. Depending on the activity, gloves of varying thickness may be required: thinner gloves (down to 0.1 mm or less) for high manual dexterity but short duration protection; thicker gloves (up to 3 mm or more) for mechanical and chemical risks.
👁️ Eye Protection
Chemical goggles. Full face shield may be required for supplementary but never for primary protection of eyes. Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal and suitable equipment should be readily available. In case of chemical exposure, begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should be removed at first signs of eye redness or irritation in a clean environment after thorough hand washing. [CDC NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59], [AS/NZS 1336 or national equivalent]
🦺 Skin/Body Protection
Wear trousers or overalls outside of boots when handling corrosive liquids to avoid spills entering boots. Overalls. PVC Apron. PVC protective suit may be required if exposure severe.
