MHP 1-40

If inhaled, remove to fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

Symptoms: 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: Potential risk of transient stinging or redness if accidental eye contact occurs.

Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

Symptoms: Ingestion of large quantities may cause nausea and diarrhoea.

In case of fire, use foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide extinguisher or spray.

Do not use water jet. The use of a water jet may cause the fire to spread by splashing the burning product.

In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst.

No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if there is a fire.

No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Do not touch or walk through spilt material. Floors may be slippery; use care to avoid falling. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment.

Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Absorb with an inert material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.

Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas. Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth and place in container for disposal according to local regulations. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.

Avoid dispersal of spilt material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers.

Absorb with an inert material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible, absorbent material and place in container for disposal.

Materials: inert material, non-combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth

Put on appropriate personal protective equipment.

Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials. Keep away from heat and direct sunlight. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Store and use only in equipment/ containers designed for use with this product. Do not store in unlabelled containers. Prolonged exposure to elevated temperature is not suitable.

Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed. Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.

Keep away from heat.

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

Recommended: Nitrile gloves. Continuous contact: Gloves with a minimum breakthrough time of 240 minutes, or >480 minutes if suitable gloves can be obtained. Short-term / splash protection: Recommended breakthrough times as above. For general applications, we recommend gloves with a thickness typically greater than 0.35 mm. Standards: EN 420, EN 374.

Safety glasses with side shields. Standards: EN 166.

In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Standards: EN 529, EN 149, EN 405, EN 140 plus filter, EN 136 plus filter, EN 143, EN 14387.

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.
