First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Remove victim to fresh air. If there is difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical attention.

Skin contact

Flush area with water. If skin is damaged, seek immediate medical attention. If irritation persists seek medical attention. Launder clothing before reuse.

Eye contact

Flush eyes with water for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention.

Ingestion

Do not induce vomiting. Lay victim on left side to prevent aspiration of any vomit. Seek immediate medical attention.

Immediate Medical Attention

Seek immediate medical attention for damaged skin, difficulty breathing, or ingestion.

Medical Treatment

Treat symptomatically. No specific treatment.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Water fog, foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide.

Unsuitable media

DO NOT use water jet – the low flash point of this material may make the use of a water jet inefficient. Do not use direct water jet.

Specific hazards

Flammable. Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapours may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Containers may explode when heated. Thermal decomposition can lead to the release of irritating gases and vapours. Keep product and empty container away from heat and sources of ignition.

Instructions

Use water spray to cool containers and structures exposed to fire.

Firefighter Protection

Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Evacuate unnecessary personnel. Remove all sources of ignition. Close area and remove all personnel not required for clean-up.

Small spill

soak up smaller amounts with an absorbent.

Large spill

Pump up large volumes of product

Environmental

Do not allow to enter any surface water courses or drains and sewers. Product may collect in low places.

Cleanup methods

Place collected material in a suitable container for disposal. Wash area down with soap and water to remove residues.

Materials: suitable container

07

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Handle with care. Combustible liquid. Containers should be grounded to prevent static discharge.

Storage

Store in a cool dry place away from any sources of ignition.

Fire prevention

Containers should be grounded to prevent static discharge. Store away from any sources of ignition.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Local exhaust ventilation to maintain exposure levels below legal limits. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Use explosion-proof electrical/ventilating/lighting/equipment.

Hands

Chemical resistant gloves

Eyes

Goggles

Respiratory

Air purifying respirator fitted with cartridges (organic vapours/mists) must worn if exposure limits are being exceeded.

Skin/Body

coveralls
