RAPICIDE PA Part B

If fumes, aerosols or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area. Other measures are usually unnecessary.

Symptoms: May cause respiratory tract irritation.

Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear. Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap, if available). Seek medical attention in the event of irritation.

Symptoms: Causes skin irritation. Symptoms may include redness, edema, drying, defatting and cracking of the skin.

Wash out immediately with fresh running water. 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 undertaken by a skilled professional.

Symptoms: Causes serious eye damage. Symptoms may include discomfort or pain, excess blinking and tear production, with marked redness and swelling of the conjunctiva. May cause burns.

If swallowed, do NOT induct 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 wawter to rinse mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as they can comfortably drink. Seek medical advice.

Symptoms: May be harmful if swallowed. May cause stomach distress, nausea or vomiting.

Treat for surrounding material.

None known.

Non-combustible, not considered to be a significant fire risk. Expansion or decomposition on heating may lead to violent rupture of containers.

Use fire fighting 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.

Isolate the hazard area and deny entry to unnecessary and unprotected personnel.

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, inert material or vermiculite. Wipe up. Place in a suitable, labelled container for waste disposal.

Clear area of personnel. Control personal contact with the substance, by using protective equipment as required. Prevent spillage from entering drains or water ways. Contain and absorb spill with sand, earth, inert material or vermiculite. Collect recoverable product into labelled containers for recycling.

See section 12.

Wipe up. Collect recoverable product into labelled containers for recycling.

Materials: sand, inert material, vermiculite, earth

Do NOT allow clothing wet with material to stay in contact with skin. Limit all unnecessary personal contact. Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs. Use in a well-ventilated area. When handling, do NOT eat, drink or smoke. Always wash hands with soap and water after handling. Avoid physical damage to containers. Use good occupational work practice.

Store in original containers. Keep containers securely sealed. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Store away from incompatible materials and foodstuff containers. Protect containers against physical damage and check regularly for leaks. Observe manufacturer's storage and handling recommendations contained with this SDS.

When handling, do NOT eat, drink or smoke. Always wash hands with soap and water after handling.

General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. Refer also to protective measures for the other component used with the product. Read both SDS before using; store and attach SDS together.

Wear chemical protective gloves, e.g. PVC. The selection of suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality which vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Where the chemical is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of the glove material can not be calculated in advance and has therefore to be checked prior to the application. The exact break through time for substances has to be obtained from the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed when making a final choice.

Safety glasses with side shields; or as required, Chemical goggles. Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lenses or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure, begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly.

In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe working limits of the selected respirator.

Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, e.g. Rubber. See other protection below. Optional/Recommended Protective Measures : Overalls, P.V.C. apron, Barrier cream, Skin cleansing cream

Maintain levels below Community environmental protection thresholds.

Stable under normal storage conditions.

Hazardous polymerisation will not occur. See section 7.

Heat.
