AP/E CORE 150

Remove from further exposure. For those providing assistance, avoid exposure to yourself or others. Use adequate respiratory protection. If respiratory irritation, dizziness, nausea, or unconsciousness occurs, seek immediate medical assistance. 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. If product is injected into or under the skin, or into any part of the body, regardless of the appearance of the wound or its size, the individual should be evaluated immediately by a physician as a surgical emergency. Even though initial symptoms from high pressure injection may be minimal or absent, early surgical treatment within the first few hours may significantly reduce the ultimate extent of injury.

Symptoms: Local necrosis as evidenced by delayed onset of pain and tissue damage a few hours after injection.

Flush thoroughly with water. If irritation occurs, get medical assistance.

Symptoms: irritation

First aid is normally not required. Seek medical attention if discomfort occurs.

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. Use water spray to cool fire exposed surfaces and to protect personnel.

Stop leak if you can do so without risk. In the event of a spill or accidental release, notify relevant authorities in accordance with all applicable regulations.

Small spills: normal antistatic work clothes are usually adequate.

Dyke far ahead of liquid spill for later recovery and disposal. Large spills: full body suit of chemical resistant, antistatic material is recommended.

Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas.

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

Materials: suitable absorbent

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). Use proper bonding and/or earthing procedures.

The type of container used to store the material may affect static accumulation and dissipation. Do not store in open or unlabelled containers.

Use proper bonding and/or earthing procedures. Consult local applicable standards for guidance. Additional references include American Petroleum Institute 2003 (Protection Against Ignitions Arising out of Static, Lightning and Stray Currents) or National Fire Protection Agency 77 (Recommended Practice on Static Electricity) or CENELEC CLC/TR 50404 (Electrostatics - Code of practice for the avoidance of hazards due to static electricity).

No special requirements under ordinary conditions of use and with adequate ventilation.

No protection is ordinarily required under normal conditions of use.

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. No special requirements under ordinary conditions of use and with adequate ventilation. 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.

No skin protection is ordinarily required under normal conditions of use. In accordance with good industrial hygiene practices, precautions should be taken to avoid skin contact.

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.

See sub-sections below.

Hazardous polymerization will not occur.

Excessive heat. High energy sources of ignition.

Strong oxidisers

Material does not decompose at ambient temperatures.

Product is suitable for burning in an enclosed controlled burner for fuel value or disposal by supervised incineration at very high temperatures to prevent formation of undesirable combustion products.

Disposal must be in accordance with current applicable laws and regulations, and material characteristics at time of disposal.
