Emergency Overview
Vapors, Fumes or mists may cause respiratory tract irritation
This material may also cause irritation to eyes and respiratory tract. Excessive vapor concentration in air, especially in
confined spaces, may cause asphyxiation. Prolonged inhalation of vapors in high concentrations may lead to headache,
giddiness and nausea. Excessive inhalation of vapors can cause nasal, throat and respiratory irritation, dizziness,
weakness, fatigue, nausea, headache and possible unconsciousness. Vapors may cause severe eye irritation, redness,
tearing and blurred vision.
Signs & Symptoms of Short-Term (Acute) Exposure
May cause irritation, burning, and dryness of the skin. Swallowing may cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting
and diarrhea. Prolonged skin contact may lead to extraction of natural oils with resultant dry skin, cracking, irritation and
determatitis. Eye contact with liquid or vapor causes severe irritation, redness, tearing, blurred vision.
Effects of Long-Term (Chronic) Exposure
-Prolonged or continuous inhalation of vapors may result in delayed lung damage. -Repeated inhalation of vapor in high
concentration can change the blood picture. -Repeated or prolonged inhalation of vapor may cause liver and kidney
damage.
4 FIRST AID MEASURES
Skin
Wash area thoroughly with soap and water and rinse. DO NOT use solvents or thinners.
Eye
Remove contact lenses, keep eyelids open. Flush eyes with a large amount of water for at least 15 minutes.

Inhalation
Remove to fresh air and keep warm. Give artificial respiration if not breathing. Call a physician.
Ingestion
Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician. Keep individual calm.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure
Skin conditions, eye problems, or impaired liver or kidney function. Respiratory tract disorders. Inhalation or ingestion:
prolonged exposure to vapors may cause dizziness, headache, nausea, confusion or vomiting. Skin contact may aggravate
an existing dermatitis. In all cases of doubt or when symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person. Unconsciousness: lateral position - call a physician.
5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing Media
Suitable: alcohol resistant foam, CO2, powders, water spray.
Not suitable: water jet
Basic Fire Fighting Procedures
Appropriate breathing apparatus may be required.
Cool endangered containers with water in case of fire.
Do not allow the quenching water into the sewage system.
Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards
Vapors are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Preparation may
charge electrostatically: always use earthing leads when transferring from one container to another. Operators should wear
anti static footwear and clothing. No sparking tools should be used.

6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spill or Leak Procedure
Remove all sources of ignition, avoid breathing vapors, ventilate area, remove with liquid binding material. Ventilate the
area. Environment: prevent material to enter soil, drains or water courses. 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. Clean preferably with a detergent. Avoid use of solvents.
7 HANDLING & STORAGE
Handling
Keep product away from ignition sources, such as heat, sparks, pilot lights, static electricity, and open flames. Prevent the
creation of flammable or explosive concentration of vapor in air and avoid vapor concentration higher that the occupational
exposure limits. Additionally, the product should only be used in areas from which all naked lights and other sources of
ignition have been excluded. Comply with the health and safety at work laws.
Storage
Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Keep container tightly closed.
Never use pressure to empty: container is not a pressure vessel. No smoking. Prevent unauthorized access. Keep away
from oxidizing agents, from strongly alkaline and strongly acid materials. Always keep in containers of same material as the
original one. Avoid heating and direct sunlight.
Ventilation
This material should be used only with adequate ventilation. Vapors are heavier than air and may spread along floors.
Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. 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.

Eye Protection: Personal Protection Equipments (PPE)
Wear safety glasses.
Skin Protection: Personal Protection Equipments (PPE)
Use appropriate protective gloves when handling. After washing hands, replace lost skin fat by fat containing skin creams.
Respiratory Protection: Personal Protection Equipments (PPE)
Adequate ventilation is required. If workplace limits are exceeded, a gas mask approved for this particular job must be
worn.
General
Personal should wear antistatic clothings made of natural fiber or of high temperature resistant synthetics fiber. All parts of
the body should be washed after contact.

Stability/Incompatibility
Avoid excessive heat. Keep away from heat sources, open flames and other sources of ignition. Keep away from oxidizing
agents, strongly alkaline and strongly acid materials in order to avoid exothermic reactions. Stable under recommended
storage and handling conditions
Hazardous Reactions/Decomposition Products
Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, smoke, oxiders of nitrogen. Keep away from oxidizing agents, strongly alkaline and
strongly acid materials in order to avoid exothermic reactions. When exposed to high temperatures may produce hazardous
decomposition products such as carbon monoxide and dioxide, smoke, oxides of nitrogen.
11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Routes of Exposure
Excessive vapor concentration in air, especially in confined spaces may cause asphyxiation. Excessive inhalation of vapors
can cause nasal, throat and respiratory irritation, dizziness, weakness, fatigue, nausea, headache and possible
unconsciousness. Eye contact causes irritation, redness, tearing, blurred vision. Vapors may cause severe eye irritation,
redness, tearing and blurred vision. Prolonged skin contact may lead to extraction of natural oils with resultant dry skin,
cracking, irritation and dermatitis. Swallowing may cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Toxicological Data
Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful or fatal. Reports have associated
repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage.
Health studies have shown that many solvents pose potential human health risks which may vary from person to person.
As a precaution exposure to liquids and vapors should be minimized. Prolonged or continuous inhalation of vapors may
result in delayed lung damage. Repeated or prolonged inhalation of vapor may cause liver and kidney damage. Repeated
inhalation of vapor in high concentration can change the blood picture.
