After contact with skin, take off immediately all contaminated clothing, and wash immediately with plenty of water. Wash contaminated clothing thoroughly with water before removing it from the affected person, or wear gloves. Care should be taken to avoid contact with contaminants when removing contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water or use an approved skin cleanser. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues. In the event of any sensitisation symptoms developing, ensure further exposure is avoided. Use suitable lotion to moisturise skin.

Symptoms: Irritating to skin. The product contains a sensitising substance. May cause skin sensitisation or allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.

Do not rub eye. Rinse immediately with plenty of water. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Continue to rinse for at least 15 minutes. Keep affected person under observation. Get medical attention if symptoms are severe or persist after washing. Consult a physician for specific advice.

Get medical attention if a large quantity has been ingested. Get medical attention if symptoms are severe or persist.

Symptoms: Harmful if swallowed. May cause stomach pain or vomiting.

Carbon dioxide (CO2). Foam. Water spray, fog or mist.

Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.

Thermal decomposition or combustion products may include the following substances: Toxic and corrosive gases or vapours. The product is flammable. Heating may generate flammable vapours. Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air. Containers can burst violently or explode when heated, due to excessive pressure build-up.

Avoid breathing fire gases or vapours. Keep upwind to avoid inhalation of gases, vapours, fumes and smoke. Contain and collect extinguishing water. Control run-off water by containing and keeping it out of sewers and watercourses. If risk of water pollution occurs, notify appropriate authorities. Do not enter storage areas or confined spaces unless adequately ventilated. Fight fire from safe distance or protected location. Cool containers exposed to heat with water spray and remove them from the fire area if it can be done without risk. No action shall be taken without appropriate training or involving any personal risk. Ventilate closed spaces before entering them.

Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel away from the spillage. Do not touch or walk into spilled material.

Do not discharge into drains or watercourses or onto the ground.

Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth and place into containers.

Materials: vermiculite, dry sand or earth

Avoid spilling. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Provide adequate ventilation. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame.

Store in tightly-closed, original container in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame.

As this product contains ingredients with exposure limits, process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls should be used to keep worker exposure below any statutory or recommended limits, if use generates dust, fumes, gas, vapour or mist. This product is not to be used under conditions of poor ventilation. Personal, workplace environment or biological monitoring may be required to determine the effectiveness of the ventilation or other control measures and/or the necessity to use respiratory protective equipment. Ensure the ventilation system is regularly maintained and tested.

It is recommended that chemical-resistant, impervious gloves are worn. To protect hands from chemicals, gloves should comply with European Standard EN374. It is recommended that gloves are made of the following material: Nitrile rubber. Neoprene. Frequent changes are recommended.

Eyewear complying with an approved standard should be worn if a risk assessment indicates eye contact is possible. Unless the assessment indicates a higher degree of protection is required, the following protection should be worn: Tight-fitting safety glasses. Personal protective equipment for eye and face protection should comply with European Standard EN166.

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. Ensure all respiratory protective equipment is suitable for its intended use and is ‘CE’-marked. Full face mask respirators with replaceable filter cartridges should comply with European Standard EN136. Half mask and quarter mask respirators with replaceable filter cartridges should comply with European Standard EN140. Gas and combination filter cartridges should comply with European Standard EN14387. Particulate filters should comply with European Standard EN143. Powered filtering helmets or hoods should comply with European Standard EN12941. Disposable filtering half mask respirators should comply with European Standard EN149 or EN405. This represents the minimum standard required and better specification protection should be used if available.

Avoid contact with skin. Wear suitable coveralls to prevent exposure to the skin. Refer to European Standard EN 1149 for information on material and design requirements and test methods. Provide eyewash station and safety shower.

Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels. Residues and empty containers should be taken care of as hazardous waste according to local and national provisions.
