IRGALITE®MA L 4763

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: Irritation of the nose, throat and lungs.

Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water or use recognised skin cleanser. Do NOT use solvents or thinners.

Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open. Seek medical attention.

If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or label. Keep person warm and at rest. Do NOT induce vomiting.

Use dry chemical, CO₂, water spray (fog) or foam.

Do not use 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.

For non-emergency personnel: Avoid breathing dust. Refer to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8. For emergency responders: If specialised clothing is required to deal with the spillage, take note of any information in Section 8 on suitable and unsuitable materials. See also the information in 'For non-emergency personnel'.

Do not allow to enter drains or watercourses. If the product contaminates lakes, rivers, or sewers, inform the appropriate authorities in accordance with local regulations.

Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth and place in container for disposal according to local regulations (see Section 13). Preferably clean with a detergent. Avoid using solvents.

Materials: non-combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth

Avoid breathing dust. May form explosible dust-air mixture if dispersed. Avoid the creation of dust when handling and avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark or flame). Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Comply with the health and safety at work laws.

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. Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Store in a segregated and approved area. Store bulk masses greater than 1000 kg/2200 lbs at temperatures not exceeding 25 °C/77 °F. Eliminate all ignition sources. Store away from other materials. Maintain air gap between stacks/pallets. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination. Do not reuse container.

Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.

Keep away from heat and direct sunlight. Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Eliminate all ignition sources.

Provide adequate ventilation. Where reasonably practicable, this should be achieved by the use of local exhaust ventilation and good general extraction. If these are not sufficient to maintain concentrations of particulates and solvent vapours below the OEL, suitable respiratory protection must be worn.

Wear suitable gloves tested to EN374. There is no one glove material or combination of materials that will give unlimited resistance to any individual or combination of chemicals. Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Considering the parameters specified by the glove manufacturer, check during use that the gloves are still retaining their protective properties. It should be noted that the time to breakthrough for any glove material may be different for different glove manufacturers. In the case of mixtures, consisting of several substances, the protection time of the gloves cannot be accurately estimated. Barrier creams may help to protect the exposed areas of the skin but should not be applied once exposure has occurred. The user must check that the final choice of type of glove selected for handling this product is the most appropriate and takes into account the particular conditions of use, as included in the user's risk assessment.

Safety eyewear should be used when there is a likelihood of exposure. Use eye protection according to EN 166.

If workers are exposed to concentrations above the exposure limit, they must use appropriate, certified respirators.

Personnel should wear antistatic clothing made of natural fibres or of hightemperature-resistant synthetic fibres. Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection measures should be selected based on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before handling this product.

Do not allow to enter drains or watercourses.

Stable under recommended storage and handling conditions (see Section 7).

This product, by reaction with air and without energy supply, is liable to self-heat and will ignite when in large amounts and after long periods of time. The spontaneous ignition temperature will be ≤ 50°C for a volume of 27 m³.

Hazardous reactions or instability may occur under certain conditions of storage or use. Reactions may include the following: risk of causing fire spontaneous flammability

extended contact with air in bulk storage

oxidising agents, strong alkalis, strong acids

When exposed to high temperatures may produce hazardous decomposition products.

Transport within user’s premises: always transport in closed containers that are upright and secure. Ensure that persons transporting the product know what to do in the event of an accident or spillage.
