Emergency Overview
Does not apply.
4 FIRST AID MEASURES
Skin
Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water or use recognized skin cleanser. Do not use
solvents or thinners.
Eye
Irrigate copiously with clean, fresh water for at least 10 minutes, holding the eyelids apart and seek medical advice.
Inhalation
Remove to fresh air, keep patient warm and at rest, if breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration. If
unconscious place in recovery position and seek medical advice.
Ingestion
If accidentally swallowed obtain immediate medical attention. Keep at rest. Do not induce vomiting.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure
Exposure to component solvents vapors 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 effect on kidney, liver and
central nervous system.

Extinguishing Media
Recommended: alcohol resistant foam, co2, powders, water spray. Not to be used: waterjet. Recommendations: due to
the organic solvents content of the preparation, fire will produce dense black smoke.

6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spill or Leak Procedure
Due to the organic solvents content of the preparation: exclude sources of ignition and ventilate the area. Avoid breathing
vapors. Refer to protective measures listed below. 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. Do not
allow to enter drains or watercourses. Clean preferably with a detergent; avoid use of solvents. If the product contaminates
lakes, rivers or sewages, inform appropriate authorities in accordance with local regulations.
7 HANDLING & STORAGE
Handling
NI
Storage
Due to the organic solvents content of the preparation: vapors are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Vapors
may form explosive mixtures with air. Prevent the creation of flammable or explosive concentrations of vapor in air and
avoid vapor concentration higher than 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 exluded. Keep container tightly closed. Isolate
from sources of heat, sparks and open flame. No sparking tools should be used. Avoid skin and eye contact. Avoid
inhalation of vapor and spray mist. Smoking, eating and drinking are forbidden in application area. Comply with the health
and safety at work laws. Never use pressure to empty: container is not a pressure vessel. Storage in accordance with the
regulations of the corresponding authorities. Observe label precaution. Store between 15 and 30c in a dry, well ventilated
place away from sources of heat and direct sunlight. Due to the organic solvents content of the preparation: keep away
from sources of ignition. Keep away from oxidizing agents, from strongly alkaline and strongly acid materials.
Ventilation
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 particles and solvent vapor
below the OEL, suitable respiratory protection must be worn.
8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Eye Protection: Personal Protection Equipments (PPE)
Use safety eyewear designed to protect against splash of liquids.
Skin Protection: Personal Protection Equipments (PPE)
All parts of the body should be washed after contact. For prolonged or repeated contact, use nitrile, neoprene or latex
rubber gloves. Barrier creams may help to protect the exposed areas of the skin, they should however, not be applied once
exposure has occurred.
Respiratory Protection: Personal Protection Equipments (PPE)
When workers are facing concentrations above the exposure limit, they must use appropriate certified respirators.
