3 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Potential Health Effects, Eye
Eye contact with dust may cause severe irritation, redness, tearing and blurred vision.
Potential Health Effects, Inhalation
Excessive inhalation of dust can cause nasal, throat and respiratory irritation, dizziness, weakness, fatigue, nausea and
headache.
Potential Health Effects, Ingestion
Swallowing may cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Signs & Symptoms of Short-Term (Acute) Exposure
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 nervious 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 pressure.
4 FIRST AID MEASURES
Skin
Wash away with soap and water and rinse. DO NOT use solvents or thinners.
Eye
Remove contact lenses, keep eyelids open. Flush with plenty of water (10-15 minutes). Call a physician.

Material Id Trade Name 1/ 4
Inhalation
Take the casualty into the fresh air and keep warm. Irregular breathing/no breathing: artificial respiration. Call a
physician.
Ingestion
Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician. Keep at rest.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure
In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
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
Spill or Leak Procedure
Remove sources of ignition. Ventilate area. 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
Prevent the creations of flammable or explosive concentration of dust in air and avoid dust concentration higher then 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. 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)
Wear safety glasses.

Skin Protection: Personal Protection Equipments (PPE)
Use protective gloves. After washing hands replace lost skin fat by bat containing skin creams. Personnel should wear
anti static clothing 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 workplace limits are exceeded, a gas mask approved for this particular job must be worn.
