Symptoms:
Persistent irritation may occur.
👁️ Eye Contact
Flush eye with copious quantities of water. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.
Symptoms:
Persistent irritation may occur.
🍽️ Ingestion/Swallowing
In general no treatment is necessary unless large quantities are swallowed, however, get medical advice.
Symptoms:
Ingestion may result in nausea, vomiting and/or diarrhoea.

Treat symptomatically.
Fire Fighting Measures & Emergency Response
Fire suppression methods, extinguishing media, and firefighting safety procedures
✅ Suitable Extinguishing Media
Foam, water spray or fog. Dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, sand or earth may be used for small fires only.
❌ Unsuitable Extinguishing Media
Do not use water in a jet.
⚠️ Specific Fire Hazards
Hazardous combustion products may include: A complex mixture of airborne solid and liquid particulates and gases (smoke). Carbon monoxide may be evolved if incomplete combustion occurs. Unidentified organic and inorganic compounds.
🔥 Fire Fighting Instructions
Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.
🛡️ Firefighter Protection Equipment
Proper protective equipment including chemical resistant gloves are to be worn; chemical resistant suit is indicated if large contact with spilled product is expected. Self-Contained
Accidental Release Measures & Spill Response
Emergency spill cleanup procedures, containment methods, and environmental protection
🚨 Emergency Procedures
Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
💧 Small Spill Procedures
Slippery when spilt. Avoid accidents, clean up immediately. Soak up residue with an absorbent such as clay, sand or other suitable material and dispose of properly.
🌍 Environmental Precautions
Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination. Prevent from spreading or entering drains, ditches or rivers by using sand, earth, or other appropriate barriers. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained.

Safe Handling & Storage Procedures
Industrial handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace safety requirements
⚠️ Handling Precautions
• Use local exhaust ventilation if there is risk of inhalation of vapours, mists or aerosols.
• Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin.
• Avoid inhaling vapour and/or mists.
• When handling product in drums, safety footwear should be worn and proper handling equipment should be used.
• Properly dispose of any contaminated rags or cleaning materials in order to prevent fires.
🏪 Storage Conditions
• Keep container tightly closed and in a cool, well-ventilated place.
• Store at ambient temperature.
Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
🏭 Engineering Controls
The level of protection and types of controls necessary will vary depending upon potential exposure conditions. Select controls based on a risk assessment of local circumstances. Appropriate measures include: Adequate ventilation to control airborne concentrations. Where material is heated, sprayed or mist formed, there is greater potential for airborne concentrations to be generated. General Information: Define procedures for safe handling and maintenance of controls. Educate and train workers in the hazards and control measures relevant to normal activities associated with this product. Ensure appropriate selection, testing and maintenance of equipment used to control exposure, e.g. personal protective equipment, local exhaust ventilation. Drain down system prior to equipment break-in or maintenance. Retain drain downs in sealed storage pending disposal or subsequent recycle. Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing hands after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants. Discard contaminated clothing and footwear that cannot be cleaned. Practice good housekeeping.
🧤 Hand Protection
Where hand contact with the product may occur the use of gloves approved to relevant standards (e.g. Europe: EN374, US: F739) made from the following materials may provide suitable chemical protection. PVC, neoprene or nitrile rubber gloves. Suitability and durability of a glove is dependent on usage, e.g. frequency and duration of contact, chemical resistance of glove material, dexterity. Always seek advice from glove suppliers. Contaminated gloves should be replaced. Personal hygiene is a key element of effective hand care. Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After using gloves, hands should be washed and dried thoroughly. Application of a non-perfumed moisturizer is recommended. For continuous contact we recommend gloves with breakthrough time of more than 240 minutes with preference for > 480 minutes where suitable gloves can be identified. For short-term/splash protection we recommend the same but recognize that suitable gloves offering this level of protection may not be available and in this case a lower breakthrough time maybe acceptable so long as appropriate maintenance and replacement regimes are followed. Glove thickness is not a good predictor of glove resistance to a chemical as it is dependent on the exact composition of the glove material. Glove thickness should be typically greater than 0.35 mm depending on the glove make and model.
👁️ Eye Protection
If material is handled such that it could be splashed into eyes, protective eyewear is recommended.
😷 Respiratory Protection
No respiratory protection is ordinarily required under normal conditions of use. In accordance with good industrial hygiene practices, precautions should be taken to avoid breathing of material. If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations to a level which is adequate to protect worker health, select respiratory protection equipment suitable for the specific conditions of use and meeting relevant legislation. Check with respiratory protective equipment suppliers. Where air-filtering respirators are suitable, select an appropriate combination of mask and filter. Select a filter suitable for the combination of organic gases and vapours and particles [Type A/Type P boiling point >65℃ (149ºF)].
🦺 Skin/Body Protection
Skin protection is not ordinarily required beyond standard work clothes. It is good practice to wear chemical resistant gloves.
🌍 Environmental Exposure Controls
Take appropriate measures to fulfill the requirements of relevant environmental protection legislation. Avoid contamination of the environment by following advice given in Section 6. If necessary, prevent undissolved material from being discharged to waste water. Waste water should be treated in a municipal or industrial waste water treatment plant before discharge to surface water. Local guidelines on emission limits for volatile substances must be observed for the discharge of exhaust air containing vapour.
