BOT 291 S

If inhaled, remove to fresh air. In case of inhalation of decomposition products in a fire, symptoms may be delayed. The exposed person may need to be kept under medical surveillance for 48 hours. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

Symptoms: Exposure to decomposition products may cause a health hazard. Serious effects may be delayed following exposure. Overexposure to the inhalation of airborne droplets or aerosols may cause irritation of the respiratory tract.

Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water or use recognised skin cleanser. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse. Get medical attention if irritation develops.

Symptoms: Defatting to the skin. May cause skin dryness and irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact can defat the skin and lead to irritation and/or dermatitis.

In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Eyelids should be held away from the eyeball to ensure thorough rinsing. Check for and remove any contact lenses. Get medical attention.

Symptoms: No known significant effects or critical hazards. Potential risk of transient stinging or redness if accidental eye contact occurs.

Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately. Aspiration hazard if swallowed. Can enter lungs and cause damage. Get medical attention immediately.

Symptoms: Aspiration hazard if swallowed -- harmful or fatal if liquid is aspirated into lungs. Ingestion of large quantities may cause nausea and diarrhoea.

Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the relevant airborne concentrations below their respective occupational exposure limits.

Recommended: Nitrile gloves. Gloves with a minimum breakthrough time of 240 minutes, or >480 minutes if suitable gloves can be obtained. If suitable gloves are not available to offer that level of protection, gloves with shorter breakthrough times may be acceptable as long as appropriate glove maintenance and replacement regimes are determined and adhered to. For general applications, we recommend gloves with a thickness typically greater than 0.35 mm. Refer to standards: EN 420, EN 374.

Safety glasses with side shields. Refer to standard: EN 166.

In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Refer to standards: EN 529 (Respiratory protection), EN 149 (Filtering half-mask), EN 405 (Filtering half-mask with valve), EN 140 plus filter (Half-mask), EN 136 plus filter (Full-face mask), EN 143 (Particulate filters), EN 14387 (Gas/combined filters).

Use of protective clothing is good industrial practice. Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before handling this product. Cotton or polyester/cotton overalls will only provide protection against light superficial contamination that will not soak through to the skin. Overalls should be laundered on a regular basis. When the risk of skin exposure is high (e.g. when cleaning up spillages or if there is a risk of splashing) then chemical resistant aprons and/or impervious chemical suits and boots will be required.

Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
