3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
The product catches fire easily, if it is exposed to a ignition source,
with a temperature under 21掳C, as well. The product containes a
liquefied gas that catches fire with extreme ease, even at
temperatures below 0 掳C. This product is a threat to the
environment; it is toxic for aquatic organisms following acute
exposure.
In the long term this product may have negative effects on the
aquatic environment, because it is not easily biodegradable and/or
is bioaccumulable. Canister under pressure. The container exposed
to a temperature > 50掳C can deform and explod. The inhalation in
quantities to high is asphyxiating.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Contact with skin: Wash with plenty of water and
soap.
Contact with eyes: Wash immediately with water for
at least 10 minutes.
Swallowing: Do not induce vomiting. SEEK A
MEDICAL EXAMINATION
IMMEDIATELY and present the
safety-data sheet.
A suspension of activated
charcoal in water, or liquid
paraffin may be administered.
Inhalation: Ventilate the premises. The
patient is to be removed
immediately from the
contaminated premises and
made to rest in a well ventilated
area. Should the patient feel
unwell, OBTAIN MEDICAL
ATTENTION.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Recommended extinguishers: Water, CO2, Foam, Chemical
powders, according to the
materials involved in the fire.
Extinguishers not to be used: None in particular.
Risks arising from combustion: Avoid inhaling the fumes. For
combustion can be form toxic
gas.
Protective equipment: Use protection for the
respiratory tract.
Cool the containers exposed to
the fire with water.
The aerosol container explod, if
overheated and can be throwed
to a big distance.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Measures for personal safety: Use gloves and protective
clothing.
