BUNKER FUELS

In case of exposure to intense concentrations of vapours, fumes or spray, transport the person away from the contaminated zone, keep warm and allow to rest. If breathing is difficult: call a doctor and apply mechanical ventilation immediately.

Immediately remove all stained or splashed clothing on condition that it is not adhering to the skin. Wash immediately and abundantly with soap and water. In case of burns: COOL THE AFFECTED AREA IMMEDIATELY AND REPEATEDLY WITH COLD WATER for at least 10 minutes. If the burn appears serious, do not attempt to remove the product adhering to the skin. Transport to a specialised medical centre for emergency care.

Symptoms: burns

In case of contact with the hot product, COOL THE EYE IMMEDIATELY AND COPIOUSLY WITH COLD WATER for 10 minutes, keeping the eye open if possible. Take the person to a specialised medical centre.

Foam, CO2, powder, possibly water spray (preferably water containing a wetting agent).

Solid water streams are prohibited as they could help to spread the flames. Simultaneous use of foam and water on the same surface is to be avoided as water destroys the foam.

Incomplete combustion and thermolysis may produce gases of varying toxicity such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, various hydrocarbons, aldehydes and soot. These may be highly dangerous if inhaled.

Evacuate non-essential personnel. Spills of this product can make surfaces slippery.

Do not allow to penetrate into sewers, rivers and ground water.

Contain and collect the spilled product.

Never check the tank level by the light of an open flame or while smoking. Never use a naked flame near the storage area without first evaluating the risks and taking the necessary precautions. Never carry out welding operations on empty tanks that have not been degassed. Worker exposure must not be permanent and must be limited to a strict minimum. Prevent the formation of vapours, mist and aerosols. Handle in well-ventilated premises. Keep the product away from food and beverages. DO NOT SMOKE. AVOID CONTACT WITH THE SKIN AND MUCOUS MEMBRANES. AVOID INHALING VAPOURS. WEAR SUITABLE PROTECTION AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.

Store in well-ventilated premises. Store away from water, moisture, heat, and any source of ignition. Do not store exposed to the elements.

Do not eat or drink or smoke during use. Keep the product away from food and beverages.

Handle away from any source of ignition (open flame and sparks) and heat (hot manifolds or casings). Do not heat the pumps or pipes using an open flame. Do not use compressed oxygen or air when transferring or pouring the products.

Use the product in a properly ventilated atmosphere. When working in confined spaces (tanks, containers, etc.), ensure that there is a supply of air suitable for breathing and wear the recommended equipment. Protective engineering solutions should be implemented and in use before personal protective equipment is considered.

Hydrocarbon-proof gloves for aromatic hydrocarbons. recommended material: nitrile, neoprene. Check the condition of the gloves before use.

Helmet with face mask

To enter tankers, tanks, reservoirs where the oxygen content is too low, wear insulating respiratory apparatus. In an emergency or for exceptional short-lasting jobs in an atmosphere polluted by the product, it is necessary to wear self-contained breathing apparatus. The use of breathing apparatus must comply strictly with the manufacturer's instructions and the regulations governing their choices and uses.

Wear single use overall. Hydrocarbon resistant clothing. Recommended material: polyethylene. PVC boots

The product is stable at normal storage, handling and use temperatures.

Sparks, hot points, open flames and static electricity.

Strong oxidising agents.

Incomplete combustion and thermolysis produces potentially toxic gases such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, various hydrocarbons, aldehydes and soot.

The only suitable method is incineration at an approved installation.

Dispose of in accordance with local regulations.
