Remove to fresh air, keep patient warm and at rest. If breathing is irregular or stopped administer artificial respiration. Give nothing by mouth. If unconscious place in the recovery position. Seek medical advice.

Remove contaminated clothing, wash skin thoroughly with soap and water, or use a proprietary skin cleanser. Do not use solvents or thinners. Seek medical advice if symptoms persist.

Remove contact lenses. Irrigate copiously with clean, fresh water for at least 10 minutes, holding lids apart. Seek medical advice.

If accidentally swallowed, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Keep at rest and obtain medical attention.

Fire will produce dense black smoke. Exposure to decomposition products may cause a health hazard.

Closed containers exposed to fire should be cooled with water.

Exclude non-essential personnel. Exclude sources of ignition and ventilate the area. Avoid breathing vapours. Refer to protective measures listed in section 8.

Do not allow to enter drains or watercourses.

Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible absorbent materials, and place in container for disposal. Clean preferably with a detergent; avoid use of solvents.

Materials: non-combustible absorbent materials, eg sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth. Detergent.

Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. They may form explosive mixtures with air. Prevent the creation of flammable or explosive concentrations of vapour in air and avoid vapour concentrations higher than the occupational exposure limits. In addition, the product should only be used in areas from which all naked lights and other sources of ignition have been excluded. Electrical equipment should be protected by the appropriate standard. Keep the container tightly closed. Exclude sources of heat, sparks and open flame. Non-sparking tools should be used. Avoid skin and eye contact. Avoid the inhalation of vapour and mist. Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in storage and use areas. For personal protective equipment see Section 8. Always keep in containers made of the same material as the supply container, or in containers that are compatible with the product. The accumulation of contaminated rags may result in spontaneous combustion. Good housekeeping standards and regular safe removal of waste materials will minimise the risks of spontaneous combustion and other fire hazards.

Observe the label precautions. Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated place away from sources of heat, ignition and direct sunlight. No smoking. Prevent unauthorised access. Containers which are opened should be properly resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not use or store any paint container by hanging on a hook.

Avoid skin and eye contact. Avoid the inhalation of vapour and mist. Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in storage and use areas. Good housekeeping standards and regular safe removal of waste materials will minimise the risks of spontaneous combustion and other fire hazards.

Where reasonably practicable, this should be achieved by the use of local exhaust ventilation and good general ventilation.

Wear suitable gloves for protection against materials in section 3. When skin exposure may occur, advice should be sought from glove suppliers on appropriate types and usage times for this product. The instructions and information provided by the glove supplier on use, storage, maintenance and replacement must be followed.

Eye protection designed to protect against liquid splashes should be worn.

Avoid the inhalation of vapour, particulates and spray mist. If this is not sufficient to maintain concentrations of particulates and solvent vapour below the occupational exposure limit, respiratory protection must be worn. The selection of respiratory equipment should be in accordance with BS 4275. When applying solvent-based products by brush or roller to large surface areas inside, or using in small confined spaces, the wearing of air supplied breathing apparatus will be necessary except that when applying for short periods only, a cartridge mask may be worn providing the filter is changed regularly. When applying water-based paints by spray inside or in confined spaces, wearing a cartridge mask of Assigned Protection Factor 40 x OEL for particulates is recommended. When applying solvent-based paints by spray, in case of insufficient ventilation, the wearing of air-fed respiratory equipment will always be necessary. All respiratory equipment must be suitable for the purpose and meet an appropriate standard approved by the HSE.

Cotton or cotton/synthetic overalls or coveralls are normally suitable. Grossly contaminated clothing should be removed and the skin washed with soap and water or a proprietary skin cleaner.

See section 12 for detailed information.

The accumulation of dry overspray, contaminated rags, etc may result in spontaneous combustion. Exothermic reactions may occur with incompatible materials.

Extremes of temperature. Accumulation of dry overspray, contaminated rags, etc. Conditions leading to flammable concentrations of vapour in air.
