SOLVESSO™ 150 FLUID

Remove from further exposure. If breathing has stopped, assist ventilation with a mechanical device or use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Symptoms: respiratory irritation, dizziness, nausea, or unconsciousness

Wash contact areas with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse.

Flush thoroughly with water.

Symptoms: irritation

Do not induce vomiting.

Symptoms: material may be aspirated into the lungs and cause chemical pneumonitis.

Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to extinguish flames.

Straight streams of water

Evacuate area. Prevent run-off from fire control or dilution from entering streams, sewers or drinking water supply. Fire-fighters should use standard protective equipment and in enclosed spaces, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Use water spray to cool fire exposed surfaces and to protect personnel.

Stop leak if you can do so without risk. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Confine the spill immediately with booms. Warn other shipping.

Absorb with earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers for later disposal. Normal antistatic work clothes are usually adequate.

Water spray may reduce vapour, but may not prevent ignition in enclosed spaces. Dyke far ahead of liquid spill for later recovery and disposal. Full body suit of chemical resistant, antistatic material is recommended.

Large Spills: Dyke far ahead of liquid spill for later recovery and disposal. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas.

Recover by pumping or with suitable absorbent. Remove from the surface by skimming or with suitable absorbents.

Materials: earth, sand or other non-combustible material and suitable absorbent.

Avoid all personal contact. Potentially toxic/irritating fumes/vapour may be evolved from heated or agitated material. Prevent small spills and leakage to avoid slip hazard. Material can accumulate static charges which may cause an electrical spark (ignition source). When the material is handled in bulk, an electrical spark could ignite any flammable vapors from liquids or residues that may be present (e.g., during switch-loading operations).

The type of container used to store the material may affect static accumulation and dissipation. Keep container closed. Handle containers with care. Open slowly in order to control possible pressure release. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area.

Material can accumulate static charges which may cause an electrical spark (ignition source). When the material is handled in bulk, an electrical spark could ignite any flammable vapors from liquids or residues that may be present (e.g., during switch-loading operations). Use proper bonding and/or earthing procedures. However, bonding and earthing may not eliminate the hazard from static accumulation. Consult local applicable standards for guidance.

The level of protection and types of controls necessary will vary depending upon potential exposure conditions. Control measures to consider: Adequate ventilation should be provided so that exposure limits are not exceeded. Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment.

Any specific glove information provided is based on published literature and glove manufacturer data. Glove suitability and breakthrough time will differ depending on the specific use conditions. Contact the glove manufacturer for specific advice on glove selection and breakthrough times for your use conditions. Inspect and replace worn or damaged gloves. The types of gloves to be considered for this material include: Chemical resistant gloves are recommended. Nitrile

If contact is likely, safety glasses with side shields are recommended.

If engineering controls do not maintain airborne contaminant concentrations at a level which is adequate to protect worker health, an approved respirator may be appropriate. Respirator selection, use, and maintenance must be in accordance with regulatory requirements, if applicable. Types of respirators to be considered for this material include: Half-face filter respirator Type A filter material For high airborne concentrations, use an approved supplied-air respirator, operated in positive pressure mode. Supplied air respirators with an escape bottle may be appropriate when oxygen levels are inadequate, gas/vapour warning properties are poor, or if air purifying filter capacity/rating may be exceeded.

Any specific clothing information provided is based on published literature or manufacturer data. The types of clothing to be considered for this material include: Chemical/oil resistant clothing is recommended.

Comply with applicable environmental regulations limiting discharge to air, water and soil. Protect the environment by applying appropriate control measures to prevent or limit emissions.

Material is stable under normal conditions.

Hazardous polymerization will not occur.

Open flames and high energy ignition sources.

Strong oxidisers

Material does not decompose at ambient temperatures.
