SPECTRASYN 6

Remove from further exposure. For those providing assistance, avoid exposure to yourself or others. Use adequate respiratory protection. 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.

Flush thoroughly with water.

Symptoms: irritation

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

Symptoms: discomfort

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

Straight Streams of Water

Avoid contact with spilled material. See Section 5 for fire fighting information. See the Hazard Identification Section for Significant Hazards. See Section 4 for First Aid Advice. See Section 8 for advice on the minimum requirements for personal protective equipment. Additional protective measures may be necessary, depending on the specific circumstances and/or the expert judgment of the emergency responders. For land spills, stop leak if possible without risk, absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers, recover by pumping or with suitable absorbent. For water spills, stop leak if possible without risk, confine immediately with booms, warn other shipping, remove from surface by skimming or with suitable absorbents, seek specialist advice before using dispersants.

Dike 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: suitable absorbents

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 ground procedures. However, bonding and grounds may not eliminate the hazard from static accumulation. 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). Static Accumulator: This material is a static accumulator.

The container choice, for example storage vessel, may effect static accumulation and dissipation. Do not store in open or unlabelled containers.

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

No protection is ordinarily required under normal conditions of use. 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.

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: No protection is ordinarily required under normal 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/vapor 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. Any specific clothing information provided is based on published literature or manufacturer data.

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.

Will not occur.

Excessive heat. High energy sources of ignition.

Strong oxidizers

Material does not decompose at ambient temperatures.
