3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION OF THE PREPARATION
Flammable
Toxic to aquatic organisms, many cause long-term adverse effects in aquatic environment.
Harmful; may cause lung damage if swallowed.
Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking.
Vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
General :
In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person.
Inhalation :
Remove to fresh air, keep patient warm and at rest, if breathing is irregular of stopped, administer
artificial respiration. Give nothing by mouth. If unconscious place in recovery position and seek
medical advice.
Eye Contact :
Irrigate copiously with clean, fresh water for at least 10 minutes, holding the eyelids apart and
seek medical advice.
Skin contact :
Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water or use recognized skin
cleanser. Do NOT use solvents or thinners.
Ingestion :
If accidentally swallowed, obtain immediate medical attention. Keep at rest . Do NOT induce
vomiting.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing media
Recommended Alcohol resistant foam, CO2, Powders, Water spray
Not to be used Waterjet
Recommendations Fire will produce dense black smoke. Exposure to decomposition
products may cause a health hazard. Appropriate breathing apparatus may be required. Cool closed
containers exposed to fire with water. Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water
courses.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Exclude sources of ignition and ventilate the area. Avoid breathing vapors. Refer to protective
measures listed in sections 7 and 8. Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible adsorbent
materials, e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite, diatomaceous earth and place in container for disposal
according to local regulations ( see section 13 ). Do not allow to enter drains or watercourses.
Clean preferably with a detergent; avoid use of solvents. If the product contaminates lakes, rivers
or sewages, inform appropriate authorities in accordance with local regulations.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling Vapors are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Vapor
may form explosive mixtures with air. Prevent the creation of flammable or explosive concentrations
of vapor in air and avoid vapor concentration higher than the occupational exposure limits.
Additionally, the product should only be used in areas from which all naked lights and others
sources of ignition have been excluded. Electrical equipment should be protected to the
appropriate standard.
Preparation may charge electrostatically Always use earthing leads when transferring
from one container to another. Operators should wear anti-static footwear, and floors should of the
conducting type.
Container Storage Keep container tightly closed. Isolate from sources of heat, sparks and open
flame.
No sparking tools should be used.
Always keep in containers of same material as the original one.
Never use pressure to empty : Container is not a pressure vessel.
Skin Contacted Avoid skin and eye contact. Avoid inhalation of vapor and spray mist.
Application areas Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in application areas.
For personal protection see section 8.
Comply with the health and safety at work laws.
When operators ,Whether spraying or not, have to work inside the spray booth, ventilation is unlikely
to be sufficient to control particulates and solvent vapor in all cases. In such circumstances they
should wear a compressed aired respirator during the spraying process until such time as the
particulates and solvent vapor concentration has fallen below the exposure limits.
Storage
Store in accordance with local rules and legislation. Observe label precautions .
Store between 5 and 30 ºC in a dry, well ventilated place away from sources of heat and direct
sunlight. Keep away from sources of ignition .Keep away from oxidizing agents, from strongly
alkaline and strongly acid materials. No smoking . Prevent unauthorized access. Containers
which are opened mush be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Measures : Provide adequate ventilation. Where reasonably practicable
this should be achieved by use of local exhaust ventilation and good general extraction. If these are
not sufficient to maintain concentration of particulates and solvent vapor below the WEL, suitable
respiratory protection must be worn.
