4 FIRST-AID MEASURES
GENERAL INFORMATION
Move the exposed person to fresh air at once. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues.
INHALATION
Move the exposed person to fresh air at once. Perform artificial respiration if breathing has stopped. When breathing is difficult, properly
trained personnel may assist affected person by administering oxygen. Keep the affected person warm and at rest. Get prompt medical
attention.
INGESTION
NEVER MAKE AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON VOMIT OR DRINK FLUIDS! Drink plenty of water. DO NOT induce vomiting. Get medical
attention immediately.
SKIN CONTACT
Remove affected person from source of contamination. Promptly wash contaminated skin with soap or mild detergent and water. Promptly
remove clothing if soaked through and wash as above. Get medical attention immediately.
EYE CONTACT
Promptly wash eyes with plenty of water while lifting the eye lids. Continue to rinse for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention.
5 FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Use: Water spray, fog or mist. Alcohol resistant foam. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Dry chemicals, sand, dolomite etc.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES
Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. Containers close to fire should be removed or cooled with water. Cool
containers exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out. Keep run-off water out of sewers and water sources. Dike for water
control. If risk of water pollution occurs, notify appropriate authorities. For massive fire in cargo area, use unmanned hose holder or monitor
nozzles, if possible. If not, withdraw and let fire burn out.

INGREDIENT COMMENTS
WEL = Workplace Exposure Limits
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
ENGINEERING MEASURES
Provide adequate general and local exhaust ventilation. Must not be handled in confined space without sufficient ventilation. Provide
sufficient ventilation during operations which cause vapour formation.
RESPIRATORY EQUIPMENT
No specific recommendation made, but respiratory protection must be used if the general level exceeds the Recommended Workplace
Exposure Limit. Respiratory protection must be used if air contamination exceeds acceptable level. If ventilation is insufficient, suitable
respiratory protection must be provided. Gas cartridge suitable for organic substances.
HAND PROTECTION
Use suitable protective gloves if risk of skin contact. Use protective gloves made of: Butyl rubber. P.T.F.E (Teflon). Viton rubber (fluor
rubber). Nitrile. The most suitable glove must be chosen in consultation with the gloves supplier, who can inform about the breakthrough
time of the glove material.

EYE PROTECTION
Wear approved chemical safety goggles where eye exposure is reasonably probable.
OTHER PROTECTION
Wear appropriate clothing to prevent any possibility of liquid contact and repeated or prolonged vapour contact. Provide eyewash station.
HYGIENE MEASURES
DO NOT SMOKE IN WORK AREA! Wash at the end of each work shift and before eating, smoking and using the toilet. Promptly remove
any clothing that becomes contaminated. When using do not eat, drink or smoke.
