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 or stopped, administer artificial respiration. Give nothing by
mouth. If unconscious place in place in recovery position and seek
medical advice.
EYE CONTACT:
Remove contact lenses, irrigate copiously with clean, fresh water for at
least 10 minutes, holding the eyelids apart. Seek medical advice.
SKIN CONTACT:
Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thorougly with soap and water or
use recognised 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:
Recommendations: Alcohol resistant foam, CO2, powders, water spray.
Do not use waterjet.
Recommendation: 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
Avoid breathing vapours.
Refer to protective maesures listed in section 7 and 8. Contain and collect
spillage with non-combustible absorbent 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 sewage, inform appropriate
authorities in accordance with local regulations.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING:
The product should be handled in a well ventilated place.
Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors.
explosive mixtures with air. Prevent the creation of flammable or explosive
Avoid vapour concentration higher than the occupational limits.
Avoid skin and eye contact. Avoid the inhalation of dust, particulates and
spray mist arising fro the application of this preparation. Avoid inhalation
of dust from sanding.
Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in application area.
For personal protection see section 8.
Never use pressure to empty: container is not a pressure vessel.
Always keep in containers of same material as the original one.
Comply with the health and safety at work laws.
STORAGE:
Store in accordance with current regulations for flammable goods.
Observe label precautions. Store at a temperature above 0oC:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Keep away from oxidizing agents, from
strongly alkaline and strongly acid materials.
No smoking. Prevent unauthorised acces. Containers which are opened must
be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.
Do not empty into drains.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING MEASURES:
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 vapour below the OEL, suitable respiratory protection must be worn.
PERSONAL PROTECTION:
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
If workers are exposed to concentrations above the exposure limit they must
use appropriate, certified respirators.
HAND PROTECTION:
Use gloves recommended by the supplier.
EYE PROTECTION:
Use safety eyewear desinged to protect against splash of liquids.
SKIN PROTECTION:
Personal should wear anti-static clothing made of natural fibre or of high
temperature synthetic fibre.
EXPOSURE LIMITS:
