Immediately remove from further exposure. Get immediate medical assistance. For those providing assistance, avoid exposure to yourself or others. Use adequate respiratory protection. Give supplemental oxygen, if available. If breathing has stopped, assist ventilation with a mechanical device or use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Wash contact areas with soap and water. If burned by contact with hot material, molten material adhering to skin should be cooled as quickly as possible with water, and see a physician for removal of adhering material and treatment of burn. 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 for at least 15 minutes. Get medical assistance.

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.

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. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. Large spills: full body suit of chemical resistant, antistatic and, if necessary, heat resistant and thermal insulated material is recommended.

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

Allow spilled material to solidify and shovel it up into a suitable container for recycle or disposal. Skim from surface (for water).

When heated, the vapour/fumes given off may cause respiratory tract irritation. Prevent small spills and leakage to avoid slip hazard. In liquid state, 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.

Do not store in open or unlabelled containers. Storage Temperature: < 75°C (167°F)

Use proper bonding and/or earthing procedures to prevent electrical sparks.

Adequate ventilation should be provided so that exposure limits are not exceeded.

If product is hot, thermally protective, chemical resistant gloves are recommended. If contact with forearms is likely, wear gauntlet style gloves. CEN standards EN 420 and EN 374 provide general requirements and lists of glove types.

If contact with material may occur, safety glasses and face shield 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.

If product is hot, thermally protective, chemical resistant apron and long sleeves are 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.

See sub-sections below.

Hazardous polymerization will not occur.

Excessive heat.

Strong oxidisers

Material does not decompose at ambient temperatures.

supervised incineration, preferentially with energy recovery, or appropriate recycling methods in accordance with applicable regulations and material characteristics at the time of disposal.

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