First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Move to fresh air. Give oxygen. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration. Seek medical attention immediately.

Skin contact

Take off all contaminated clothing immediately. Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use. If skin irritation persists, call a physician.

Eye contact

Remove contact lenses. Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.

Ingestion

Do NOT induce vomiting. Do not give liquids. Seek medical attention immediately. If vomiting does occur naturally, keep head below the hips to reduce the risks of aspiration. Monitor for breathing difficulties. Small amounts of material which enter the mouth should be rinsed out until the tase is dissipated.

Symptoms: Dizziness, Discomfort, Headache, Nausea, Disorder, Vomiting, Liver disorders, Kidney disorders, Aspiration may cause pulmonary enema and pneumonitis.

Immediate Medical Attention

Seek medical attention immediately.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Any dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or foam extinguisher. Water spray, fog, or firefighting foam.

Specific hazards

Vapours may be ignited rapidly when exposed to heat, spark, open flame, or other sources of ignition. When mixed with air and exposed to an ignition source, flammable vapours can burn in the open or explode in confined spaces. Being heavier than air, vapours may travel long distances to an ignition source and flash back. Runoff to sewer may cause fire or explosion hazard.

Instructions

Isolate the hazard area and deny entry to unnecessary and unprotected personnel. Stop spill/release if it can be done safely. Move undamaged containers from immediate hazard area it can be done safely. Water spray may be useful in minimizing or dispersing vapours and to protect personnel. Cool equipment exposed to fire with water if it can be done safely.

Firefighter Protection

For fires beyond the initial stage, emergency responders in the immediate hazard area should wear protective clothing. When the potential chemical hazard is unknown, in enclosed or confined spaces, a self-contained breathing apparatus should be worn. In addition, wear other appropriate protective equipment as conditions warrant.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Remove all possible sources of ignition in the surrounding area and evacuate all personnel. Ventilate contaminated area thoroughly. Do not breathe vapor, mists. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing.

Small spill

Absorb or contain liquid with sand, earth, or spill control material. Shovel up and place in a labelled sealable container for subsequent safe disposal. Do not disperse using water.

Environmental

Prevent from entering drains or water supplies. In case of spillage at sea, use approved dispersants authorized by the regulatory authorities to minimize environmental contamination. Contact the regulatory authorities in the event of spillages.

Cleanup methods

Absorb or contain liquid with sand, earth, or spill control material. Shovel up and place in a labelled sealable container for subsequent safe disposal. Do not disperse using water.

Materials: sand, earth, or spill control material

07

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Liquid evaporates and forms vapor (fumes) which can catch fire and burn with explosive force. Invisible vapor spreads easily and can be set on fire by many sources such as pilot lights, welding equipment, and electrical motors and switches. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not taste or swallow. Do not breathe vapour or fumes. Wash thoroughly after handling.

Storage

Do not use or store near heat, sparks, flames, or hot surfaces. Use and store only in well-ventilated area. Keep container closed when not in use.

Hygiene

Wash thoroughly after handling.

Fire prevention

Do not use or store near heat, sparks, flames, or hot surfaces.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Use adequate ventilation to keep gas and vapour concentrations of this product below flammability limits, particularly in confined spaces.

Hands

Gloves constructed of nitrile, neoprene, or PVC are recommended.

Eyes

Safety glasses, goggles, or a face shield are recommended where there is a possibility of splashing or spraying.

Respiratory

Not normally required. In a confined space, self-contained breathing apparatus may be required.

Skin/Body

Wear overall to minimize contamination of personal clothing. It is also recommended to wear safety shoes or boots.
