PATEX 435/SL

Remove to open air. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration. Obtain immediate medical attention.

Immediately wash with plenty of water. Remove all contaminated clothing. Obtain immediate medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing separately before using them again.

Irrigate copiously with clean, fresh water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical advice.

Obtain immediate medical attention. Induce vomiting only if indicated by the doctor. Give nothing by mouth to an unconscious person.

The extinction equipment should contain carbon dioxide, foam or chemical powders. For product leaks and spills that have not caught fire, nebulised water can be used to dispel flammable fumes and protect the individuals taking part in stemming the leak.

Do not use jets of water.

Excess pressure may form in containers exposed to fire at a risk of explosion. Do not breathe combustion products (carbon oxide, toxic pyrolysis products, etc).

Use jets of water to cool the containers to prevent product decomposition and the development of substances potentially hazardous for health.

Eliminate sources of ignition (cigarettes, flames, sparks, etc.). Block the leakage if there is no hazard. Do not handle damaged containers or leaked product before donning appropriate protective gear. Send away individuals who are not suitably equipped.

The product must not penetrate the sewers, surface water, ground water and neighbouring areas.

suck into a suitable container and soak up any leaked product with absorbent inert material; use spark proof mechanical tools to collect the leaked product and place in plastic containers

Materials: absorbent inert material (sand, vermiculite, diatomeous earth, Kieselguhr, etc)

Avoid the accumulation of electrostatic charges. Keep far away from sources of heat, sparks and bright flames. Do not smoke, use matches or lighters. Keep the containers earthed while decanting and wear antistatic boots. Never use compressed air during movement.

Store the containers sealed and in a well ventilated place.

Do not smoke, use matches or lighters.

Avoid the accumulation of electrostatic charges. Keep far away from sources of heat, sparks and bright flames. Do not smoke, use matches or lighters. Keep the containers earthed while decanting and wear antistatic boots.

As the use of adequate technical equipment must always take priority over personal protection equipment, make sure that the workplace is well aired through effective local aspiration or bad air vent. The product must be used in a closed cycle, in well-aired environments fitted with strong localised aspiration systems (capture speed > 1.5 m/s).

Protect hands with category III (ref. Directive 89/686/EEC and standard EN 374) work gloves, such as those in PVA, butyl, fluoroelastomer or equivalent. The following should be considered when choosing work glove material: degradation, breakage times and permeation. Work glove resistance to preparations should be checked before use, as it can be unpredictable. Gloves' limit depends on the duration of exposure.

Wear hood visor or protective visor together with airtight goggles (ref. standard EN 166).

If the threshold value for one or more of the substances present in the preparation for daily exposure in the workplace or to a fraction established by the company's prevention and protection service is exceeded, wear a mask with an AX or universal filter, the class (1, 2 or 3) of which must be chosen according to the limit concentration of use (ref. standard EN 141). The use of breathing protection equipment, such as masks with organic vapour and dust/mist cartridges, is necessary in the absence of technical measures limiting worker exposure. If the substance in question is odourless or its olfactory threshold is higher than the relative exposure limit and in the event of an emergency, or when exposure levels are unknown or the concentration of oxygen in the workplace is less than 17% volume, wear self-contained, open-circuit compressed air breathing apparatus (ref. standard EN 137) or fresh air hose breathing apparatus for use with full face mask, half mask or mouthpiece (ref. standard EN 138).

Wear category III professional long-sleeved overalls and safety footwear (ref. Directive 89/686/CEE and standard EN 344).

The product is stable in normal conditions of use and storage.

There are no particular risks of reaction with other substances in normal conditions of use. TOLUENE: breaks down in sunlight. ETHYL ACETATE: decomposes slowly into acetic acid and ethanol under the effect of light, air and water. DIMETHYL FORMAMIDE: decomposes on contact with flames and hot surfaces to generate toxic fumes.

The vapours may also form explosive mixtures with the air. TOLUENE: risk of explosion on contact with fuming sulphuric acid, nitric acid, silver perchlorates, nitrogen dioxide, non-metal halogenides, acetic acid, organic nitrocompounds. Can form explosive mixtures with the air. May react dangerously with: strong oxidising agents, strong acids, sulphur (in the presence of heat). ETHYL ACETATE: risk of explosion on contact with: metals, alkalis, hydrides. oleum. can react violently with: fluoride, strong oxidising agents, chlorosulfuric acid, potassium tert-butoxide. Forms explosive mixtures with the air. DIMETHYL FORMAMIDE: risk of explosion on contact with: alkaline metals, strong oxidising agents, bromine, chlorine, triethyl aluminium, alkaline nitrides. Can react violently with: reducing agents, halogens, nitrates, metal and non-metal oxides, halogenated hydrocarbons. Forms explosive mixtures with air when warm.

Avoid overheating, electrostatic discharge and all sources of ignition. ETHYL ACETATE: avoid exposure to light, sources of heat and naked flames. DIMETHYL FORMAMIDE: avoid exposure to sources of heat and naked flames.

ETHYL ACETATE: acids and bases, strong oxidising agents; aluminium and some plastics, nitrates and chlorosulphuric acid. DIMETHYL FORMAMIDE: oxidising substances, halogenated hydrocarbons, inorganic nitrates, triethyl aluminium, bromine, chlorine and iron.

In the event of thermal decomposition or fire, vapours potentially dangerous to health may be released. DIMETHYL FORMAMIDE: nitric oxides, dimethylamine, hydrogen cyanide.
