BELZONA® 1212 SOLIDIFIER

Remove to fresh air. Keep the patient warm and at rest. Give nothing by mouth.

Symptoms: Exposure to vapours may result in irritation of the mucous membrane and the respiratory system; in severe cases burns may occur.

Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water or use a proprietary skin cleaner. If irritation or inflammation persists, seek medical attention.

Symptoms: Skin contact causes chemical burns. Symptoms may include pain, severe local redness and tissue damage. May cause allergic skin reaction.

Contact lenses should be removed. Irrigate copiously with clean, fresh water for at least 15 minutes, holding the eyelids apart, and seek medical advice.

Symptoms: Contact with eyes may cause severe irritation with corneal injury, which may result in permanent impairment of vision.

If accidentally swallowed obtain immediate medical attention. Keep at rest. Rinse mouth with plenty of water. Do NOT induce vomiting.

Symptoms: May cause chemical burns in mouth, oesophagus and stomach.

sand, alcohol resistant foam, carbon dioxide, chemical powder, or water fog for larger fires.

water jet.

In a fire, hazardous decomposition products such as smoke, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxides of nitrogen and ammonia may be produced.

Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water spray.

Exclude non-essential personnel. Keep up-wind of spill to avoid breathing vapours. Do not get on skin or in eyes.

If the product enters drains or sewers in large quantities, the local Water Company should be contacted immediately.

Prevent spills from entering drains or sewers.

Scrape the majority of the product into a suitable labelled container. Cover the spill area with sand or other suitable inert material and sweep up into the container. Clean surfaces down with a water and detergent mixture.

Materials: sand or other suitable inert material, water and detergent mixture

Keep the container tightly closed when not in use. Vapours may collect in the container headspace during transit or prolonged storage. Do not breathe vapour when opening the container. Where possible open containers and mix components in a well ventilated place away from the application area. Exclude non-essential personnel. Minimise the number of employees exposed and the duration of their exposure. Do not get on skin or in eyes. Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in areas of storage and use. For personal protection see Section 8. Always keep in containers made of the same material as the supply container. Ensure emergency equipment (for fires, spills, leaks, etc.) is readily available. Good housekeeping methods and regular safe removal of waste materials should be observed.

Store between 5 °C and 30 °C unless otherwise stated in a dry, well ventilated place away from sources of heat, ignition and direct sunlight. No smoking. Prevent unauthorised access. Store separately from oxidising agents and strongly acidic materials.

Wash at the end of each work shift and before eating, smoking and using the toilet. Ensure eye wash facilities (fountain, bottle, vials, etc.) are readily available. Do not put contaminated articles or equipment e.g. spatulas, applicators, brushes, cloths etc., into pockets. Where necessary, contaminated work clothing and shoes should be removed to prevent cross contamination of surfaces and the risk of inadvertent skin contact and ingestion.

This product is combustible. Exclude sources of heat, sparks and open flame.

Use in well ventilated areas or provide adequate mechanical ventilation. Where reasonably practicable this should be achieved by the use of local exhaust ventilation and good general extraction. Where these controls are not sufficient to maintain concentrations of particulates and/or vapours to an acceptable level, suitable respiratory protective equipment should be worn (see 'Respiratory protection' below).

Hand protection should be selected in accordance with EN 374 Protective gloves against chemicals. The breakthrough time of the gloves selected should exceed the expected use period. Where this is not possible gloves should be changed in good time, and in any case before the breakthrough time is exceeded. If any doubt exists, advice should be sought from glove suppliers on appropriate types. Barrier creams may help to protect exposed areas of skin but are not substitutes for full physical protection. They should not be applied once exposure has occurred. SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS Wear protective gloves made of the following material: Nitrile rubber. Medium-heavy weight gauntlet type gloves that provide wrist protection are suitable.

It is recommended that eye protection, for example safety spectacles or goggles are worn at all times during the handling and use of this material. Eye protection should be selected in accordance with EN 166 Personal eye protection. During subsequent machining, grinding, abrasion or removal of this product appropriate eye protection should be selected according to the type of tools or equipment used.

Respiratory protection complying with an approved standard should be worn if a risk assessment indicates inhalation of contaminants is possible. Respirator selection must be based on exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe working limits of the selected respirator. It is essential that the concentration of the contaminant(s) in the application environment does not exceed the applicable Occupational Exposure Limit(s) (OELs) multiplied by the Assigned Protection Factor (APF) quoted for the respiratory protective equipment selected. Where necessary, it is recommended that respiratory protective equipment that complies with EN 136 (full face mask) or EN 140 (half face mask) should be worn in combination with an organic/inorganic vapours, acid gases and ammonia cartridge (ABEK1). Where the application environment is likely to be contaminated by significant concentrations of dust then the appropriate particulate prefilter (N-, R- or, P-series) should be worn in combination with the above. It is essential that the facepiece is correctly fitted and the filter is changed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. In confined or poorly-ventilated spaces, a supplied-air respirator must be worn.
