General advice : Move out of dangerous area. Consult a physician. Show this
material safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
In case of eye contact : Flush eyes with water as a precaution. Remove contact
lenses. Protect unharmed eye. Keep eye wide open while
rinsing. If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.
Specific hazards during fire : Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water
fighting courses.
Fire and explosion : Do not spray on an open flame or any other incandescent
protection material. Take necessary action to avoid static electricity
discharge (which might cause ignition of organic vapors). Use
only explosion-proof equipment. Keep away from open flames,
hot surfaces and sources of ignition.
Environmental precautions : Prevent product from entering drains. Prevent further leakage
or spillage if safe to do so. If the product contaminates rivers
and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.
Handling
Advice on safe handling : For personal protection see section 8. Smoking, eating and
drinking should be prohibited in the application area. Take
precautionary measures against static discharges. Provide
sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms. Open
drum carefully as content may be under pressure. Dispose of
rinse water in accordance with local and national regulations.
