04. First-aid measures
General
In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Never give anything

Take the casualty into the fresh air and keep warm. Keep at rest. Irregular breathing/no
breathing: artificial respiration. Unconsciousness: lateral position - call a physician.
After skin contact
Immediately remove all contaminated clothing. Wash away with soap and water and rinse. Do

05. Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media
Alcohol resistant foam, CO2, powders, water spray.
Unsuitable extinguishing media
Waterjet.
Special risk posed by the substance or by the actual preparation, its combustion
products or gases discharged
Fire will produce dense black smoke. Exposure to decomposition products may cause a health
hazard.
Special protective equipment
Appropriate breathing apparatus may be required.
Additional information
Cool endangered containers with water in case of fire. Do not allow the quenching water into
the sewage system.
06. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions
Remove ignition sources. Provide for sufficient ventilation. Do not inhale the vapour. Refer to
protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8.
Environmental precautions
Do not empty into drains. If the product contaminates lakes, rivers or sewages, inform
appropriate authorities in accordance with local regulations.
Methods for cleaning up/collecting
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). Clean preferabily with a detergent; avoid use of solvents.
07. Handling and storage
Information for safe handling
Prevent the creation of inflammable or explosive concentrations of vapour in air and avoid
vapour concentrations higher than the OEL (=Occupational Exposure Limit). Additionally, the
product should only be used in areas from which all naked lights and other sources of ignition
have been excluded. Preparation may charge electrostatically: always use earthing leads when
transferring from one container to another. Operators should wear antistatic footwear and
clothing. No sparking tools should be used. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not inhale the
vapour. Do not eat or drink during work - no smoking. Comply with the health and safety at
work laws. For personal protection see Section 8. Gas mask in case of spray processing.
Information about protection against explosions and fires
Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Vapours may form explosive
mixtures with air.
Requirements to be met by storerooms and containers
Keep container tightly closed. Never use pressure to empty: container is not a pressure vessel.
No smoking. Prevent unauthorized access. Containers which are opened must be carefully
resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Electrical equipment should be pr.tected to the
appropriate standard. Floors should be of the conducting type.
Information about separation of incompatible products
Keep away from oxidizing agents, from strongly alkaline and strongly acid materials.

Further information about storage conditions
Always keep in containers of same material as the original one. See also instructions on the
label. Avoid heating and direct sunlight. Keep away from ignition sources - No smoking. Keep
containers dry and cool. Keep containers in a well-ventilated place. Comply with the health and
saftey at work laws.
Storage class (VCI) : 3A
08. Exposure controls and personal protection
Additional information about 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 (=Occupational Exposure
Limit) , suitable respiratory protection must be worn.

11. Toxicological information
Experience on practice
Exposure to component solvents vapours concentration in excess of the stated occupational
exposure limit may result in adverse health effects such as mucous membrane and respiratory
system irritation and adverse effects on kidney, liver and central nervous system. Symptoms
and signs include headache, dizziness, fatique, muscular weakness, drowsiness and in extreme
cases, loss of consciousness. Repeated or prolonged contact with the preparation may cause
removal of natural fat from the skin resulting in non-allergic contact dermatitis and absorption
through the skin. The liquid splashed in the eyes may cause irritation and reversible damage.
