3 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview
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. 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.
Potential Health Effects, Skin
Prolonged skin contact may lead to extraction of natural oils, with resultant dry skin, cracking, irritation and dermatitis.
Potential Health Effects, Eye
Eye contact causes irritation, redness, tearing, blurred vision. Eye contact with liquid or vapor causes severe irritation,
redness, tearing, blurred vision. Vapors may cause severe eye irritation, redness, tearing and 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. Excessive vapor concentration in air, especially in confined spaces, may cause
asphyxiation.
Potential Health Effects, Ingestion
Swallowing may cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
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. Repeated or prolonged inhalation of vapor may
cause liver and kidney damage. Repeated inhalation of vapor in high concentration can change the blood picture.
Prolonged or continuous inhalation of vapors may result in delayed lung damage.

4 FIRST AID MEASURES
Skin
Wash away with soap and water and rinse. DO NOT use solvents or thinners.
Eye
Rinse immediately with plenty of water for 10-15 minutes and seek medical advice. Remove contact lenses, keep eyelids
open. Call a physician.
Inhalation
Remove to fresh air and keep warm. Give artificial respiration if not breathing. Call a physician.
Ingestion
Do not induce vomiting and seek immediate medical attention. Keep at rest. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Unconsciousness: lateral position - call a physician. In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist,
seek medical attention.
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. Fire will produce dense black smoke. Exposure to decomposition
products may cause a health hazard.
Do not allow the quenching water into the sewage system.
Cool endangered containers with water in case of fire.

6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Emergency Action
Do not empty into drain. If the product contaminates lakes, rivers or sewages, inform appropriate authorities in accordance
with local regulations. 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.
Spill or Leak Procedure
Ventilate the area. Remove sources of ignition
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.
Storage
Keep away from oxidizing agents, from strongly alkaline and strongly acid materials. 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.
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.
