Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
- Observe the patient carefully.
- Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced
awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious.
- Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as
casualty can comfortably drink.
- Seek medical advice.
EYE
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
- Wash out immediately with fresh running water.
- Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from
eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids.
- If pain persists or recurs seek medical attention.
- Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by
skilled personnel.
SKIN
If skin contact occurs:
- Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear
- Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
- Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
INHALED
- If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
- Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
- Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed,
where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.
- Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve
resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if
necessary.
- Transport to hospital, or doctor.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
Treat symptomatically.
Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA

Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
- If safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire.
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD
- Combustible.
- Slight fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame.
- Heating may cause expansion or decomposition leading to violent rupture of
containers.
- On combustion, may emit toxic fumes of carbon monoxide (CO).
- May emit acrid smoke.
- Mists containing combustible materials may be explosive.
Other combustion products include carbon dioxide (CO2).
- Hot organic vapours or mist are capable of sudden spontaneous combustion when
mixed with air even at temperatures below their published autoignition
temperatures.
- The temperature of ignition decreases with increasing vapour volume and
vapour/air contact times and is influenced by pressure change.
- Ignition may occur under elevated-temperature process conditions especially in
processes performed under vacuum subjected to sudden ingress of air or in
processes performed at elevated pressure, where sudden escape of vapours or
mists to the atmosphere occurs.
FIRE INCOMPATIBILITY
Avoid contamination with strong oxidising agents as ignition may result.
HAZCHEM
None
Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
MINOR SPILLS
- Remove all ignition sources.
- Clean up all spills immediately.
- Avoid breathing vapours and contact with skin and eyes.
- Control personal contact by using protective equipment.
- Contain and absorb spill with sand, earth, inert material or vermiculite.
- Wipe up.
- Place in a suitable labelled container for waste disposal.
MAJOR SPILLS
Remove all ignition sources.
Minor hazard.
- Clear area of personnel.
- Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.
- Control personal contact by using protective equipment as required.
- Prevent spillage from entering drains or water ways.
- Contain spill with sand, earth or vermiculite.
- Collect recoverable product into labelled containers for recycling.
- Absorb remaining product with sand, earth or vermiculite and place in
appropriate containers for disposal.
- Wash area and prevent runoff into drains or waterways.
- If contamination of drains or waterways occurs, advise emergency services.

Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Protective Equipment advice is contained in Section 8 of the MSDS.
Section 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
PROCEDURE FOR HANDLING
Avoid smoking, naked lights or ignition sources.
- Limit all unnecessary personal contact.
- Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs.
- Use in a well-ventilated area.
- Avoid contact with incompatible materials.
- When handling, DO NOT eat, drink or smoke.
- Keep containers securely sealed when not in use.
- Avoid physical damage to containers.
- Always wash hands with soap and water after handling.
- Work clothes should be laundered separately.
- Use good occupational work practice.
- Observe manufacturer's storing and handling recommendations.
- Atmosphere should be regularly checked against established exposure standards
to ensure safe working conditions are maintained.
SUITABLE CONTAINER
- Metal can or drum
- Packaging as recommended by manufacturer.
- Check all containers are clearly labelled and free from leaks.
STORAGE INCOMPATIBILITY
Avoid storage with oxidisers.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
- Store in original containers.
- Keep containers securely sealed.
- No smoking, naked lights or ignition sources.
- Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.
- Store away from incompatible materials and foodstuff containers.
- Protect containers against physical damage and check regularly for leaks.
- Observe manufacturer's storing and handling recommendations.
Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
EXPOSURE CONTROLS
None assigned.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
- Safety glasses with side shields; or as required,
- Chemical goggles.

Section 8 - Test EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This
should include a review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of
chemicals in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and first-aid
personnel should be trained in their removal and suitable equipment should be
readily available. In the event of chemical exposure, begin eye irrigation
immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should be
removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed
in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC
NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59].
HANDS/FEET
Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.
Wear safety footwear.
OTHER
- Overalls.
- Barrier cream
- Eyewash unit.
The local concentration of material, quantity and
conditions of use determine the type of personal
protective equipment required.
For further information consult site specific
CHEMWATCH data (if available), or your
Occupational Health and Safety Advisor.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Use in a well-ventilated area.
General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. Local exhaust
ventilation may be required in specific circumstances. If risk of overexposure
exists, wear approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate
protection. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage areas.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments.
The liquid is discomforting to the gastro-intestinal tract.
Ingestion may result in nausea, abdominal irritation, pain and vomiting if
swallowed in large quantity.
Oral toxicity is low.
EYE
The liquid is slightly discomforting to the eyes and capable of causing a mild,
temporary redness of the conjunctiva (similar to wind-burn), temporary
impairment of vision and/ or other transient eye damage/ ulceration.
SKIN
The liquid may be slightly discomforting to the skin if exposure is prolonged
and is capable of causing skin reactions which may lead to dermatitis from
repeated exposures over long periods.
INHALED
Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product.
The mist is discomforting to the upper respiratory tract.
The vapour from heated material is discomforting to the upper respiratory tract.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Principal routes of exposure are by accidental skin and eye contact and by
inhalation of vapours especially at higher temperatures. As with any chemical
product, contact with unprotected bare skin; inhalation of vapour, mist or dust
in work place atmosphere; or ingestion in any form, should be avoided by
observing good occupational work practice.
TOXICITY AND IRRITATION
Not available.
