MOLDCOTE 13

Remove from exposure. Keep warm and at rest. If breathing stops or shows signs of failing, give artificial respiration. Obtain medical attention urgently.

Wash skin with water. Remove contaminated clothing as washing proceeds. Continue washing for at least 10 minutes. Obtain medical attention urgently. Contaminated clothing should be washed or dry-cleaned before re-use. Note that contaminated clothing may be a fire hazard.

Immediately flood the eye with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, holding the eye open. Obtain medical attention urgently.

Do not induce vomiting. Never administer anything by mouth if a victim is losing consciousness, is unconscious or is convulsing. Wash out mouth with water. Have victim drink 1-3 glasses of water to dilute stomach contents. Obtain medical attention urgently. If breathing stops or shows signs of failing, apply artificial respiration.

Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Keep containers and surroundings cool with water spray. Disperse accumulating vapour with water spray. Water spray should be used to absorb heat and keep exposed material free from fire damage.

Do not use water jet.

This product may give rise to hazardous fumes in a fire. Moderate to severe explosion hazard in confined spaces. Containers may explode in heat of fire. Run off to sewer may cause fire or explosion hazard. May form explosive mixtures with air. Dangerous when exposed to heat or flame. Vapours can travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flashback. Flashback can occur if air temperature exceeds flash point.

Evacuate area. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Beware of vapours accumulating to form explosive concentrations. Vapours can accumulate in low areas. Lasers inside confined spaces may cause suffocation.

Transfer into suitable containers for recovery or disposal. Disperse vapour with water spray. Finally flush area with plenty of water.

Adequate ventilation should be provided if there is risk of vapour build-up. Use local exhaust ventilation. Avoid inhaling vapour. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing.

Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Store away from sources of heat or ignition. Storage area should be: cool, well ventilated, out of direct sunlight, away from incompatible materials, isolated, unheated. Store in original containers.

Emergency shower and eye wash facilities should be readily available.

Store away from sources of heat or ignition.

Engineering methods to prevent or control exposure are preferred. Methods include process or personnel enclosure, mechanical ventilation (dilution and local exhaust), and control of process conditions. If engineering controls and work practices are not effective in preventing or controlling exposure, then suitable personal protective equipment, which is known to perform satisfactorily, should be used.

Nitrile rubber gloves.

Chemical goggles or face shield.

Respiratory protection if there is a risk of uncontrolled exposure to vapour.

Wear, rubber boots, rubber apron.

Decomposes readily on heating.

Reacts violently with: oxidising agents, nitric acid, many chemicals.

High temperatures. Exposure to direct sunlight. Static discharge. Pressure.

Strong oxidisers. Nitric acid.

Combustion will generate: acrid smoke and irritating fumes, toxic fumes, smoke, possibly thick and choking, resulting in zero visibility.

This material will be classified as a 'special waste' under the COPA (Special Waste) Regulations 1980 and must be disposed of in accordance with those regulations. Dispose of in accordance with all applicable local and national regulations.
