First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove to fresh air. Keep person warm and at rest. If not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel.
Symptoms: Mucous membrane and respiratory system irritation, headache, dizziness, fatigue, muscular weakness, drowsiness and, in extreme cases, loss of consciousness.
Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water or use recognised skin cleanser. Do NOT use solvents or thinners.
Symptoms: Repeated or prolonged contact with the mixture may cause removal of natural fat from the skin, resulting in non-allergic contact dermatitis and absorption through the skin.
Remove contact lenses, irrigate copiously with clean, fresh water, holding the eyelids apart for at least 10 minutes and seek immediate medical advice.
Symptoms: If splashed in the eyes, the liquid may cause irritation and reversible damage.
If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or label. Keep person warm and at rest. Do NOT induce vomiting.
Immediate Medical Attention
Seek immediate medical advice for eye contact and ingestion. In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Medical Treatment
No specific treatment.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide, powders
water jet
Fire will produce dense black smoke. Exposure to decomposition products may cause a health hazard.
Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water.
Firefighter Protection
Fire-fighters should wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full turnout gear.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Exclude sources of ignition and ventilate the area. Avoid breathing vapour or mist. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering.
Do not allow to enter drains or watercourses.
Preferably clean with a detergent. Avoid using solvents.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Prevent the creation of flammable or explosive concentrations of vapours in air and avoid vapour concentrations higher than the occupational exposure limits. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid the inhalation of dust, particulates, spray or mist arising from the application of this mixture. Avoid inhalation of dust from sanding. Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment. Never use pressure to empty. Container is not a pressure vessel.
Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area. Keep away from heat and direct sunlight. Keep container tightly closed. Store in closed original container at temperatures between 5°C and 25°C. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.
Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed.
Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. No sparking tools should be used. Keep away from sources of ignition. No smoking. Good housekeeping standards, regular safe removal of waste materials and regular maintenance of spray booth filters will minimise the risks of spontaneous combustion and other fire hazards.
