3 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Potential Health Effects, Skin
Skin contact may lead to degreasing with resultant dry skin, cracking, irritation and dermatitis.
Potential Health Effects, Eye
Eye contact with liquid or vapor causes severe irritation, redness, tearing, blurred vision.
Potential Health Effects, Inhalation
Excessive inhalation of vapors can cause nasal, throat and respiratory irritation, dizziness, weakness, fatigue, nausea,
headache and possible unconsciousness.
Potential Health Effects, Ingestion
Swallowing may cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Signs & Symptoms of Short-Term (Acute) 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. 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.

Effects of Long-Term (Chronic) Exposure
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.
4 FIRST AID MEASURES
Skin
Wash in soap and water, and rinse with water. Do not use solvents or thinners.
Eye
Remove contact lenses, keep eyelids open. Flush with plenty of water (10-15 minutes). Call a physician.
Inhalation
Remove to fresh air and keep warm. Give artificial respiration if necessary. Call a physician.
Ingestion
Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician. Keep at rest.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure
This product is unlikely to harm health, given normal and proper handling and hygienic precautions. Prolonged inhalation of
vapors in high concentrations may lead to headache, giddiness and nausea. In case of contact with the product danger of
resorption through the skin, irritation of skin/mucous membranes.
5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing Media
Alcohol resistant foam, co2, powders, water spray.
Not suitable: water jet
Basic Fire Fighting Procedures
Fire will produce dense black smoke. Exposure to decomposition products may cause a health hazard. Appropriate
breathing apparatus may be required.
Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards
Cool endangered containers with water in case of fire. Do not allow the quenching water into the sewage system.

6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Environmental Precautions
Do not empty into drains. If the product contaminates lakes, rivers or sewer systems, inform appropriate authorities in
accordance with local regulations.
Spill or Leak Procedure
Remove all sources of ignition. Do not breathe vapors. Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible absorbent
materials, e.g., sand, earth, vermiculite, diatomacious earth and place in container for disposal according to local
regulations. Clean preferably with a detergent. Avoid use of solvents.

7 HANDLING & STORAGE
Handling
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 excluded. Comply with the health and safety at work laws. Vapors are heavier than air and
may spread along floors. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Preparation may change 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.
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
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 in maintaining 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 glasses designed to protect against splash of liquids.
Skin Protection: Personal Protection Equipments (PPE)
Protective gloves. After washing hands, replace lost skin fat by fat containing skin creams. Personal should wear anti static
clothings made of natural fiber or of high temperature resistant synthetic fiber. All parts of the body should be washed after
contact.
Respiratory Protection: Personal Protection Equipments (PPE)
If work place limits are exceeded, a gas mask approved for this particular job must be worn.
General
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.
