SECTION 2 � HAZARD IDENTIFICATION



OVER-EXPOSURE:

The most significant route of exposure for this product is by inhalation, eye or skin contact:

Inhalation:

� Inhalation of vapour mists or sprays of this product can cause mild to moderate irritation of the tissue

    of the nose, throat and upper respiratory system;

� Over-exposure (as a result of using several cans in a short period of time in a poorly ventilated area)

    can lead to headache, nausea, general anaesthetic effects and could result in an oxygen-deficient

    atmosphere due to the vapours of the spray being a lot heavier than air.

Skin and eyes:

� Eye contact with the spray may cause mild irritation;

� Sustained spraying directly onto skin may cause localised rapid cooling of tissue resulting in

    frostbite–type symptoms.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:

� This product is classed as a non-flammable aerosol;

� As with all pressurised aerosol containers, cans may burst if heated to over 50oC (122o F).

             WHAT SHOULD BE DONE IF A HAZARDOUS SITUATION OCCURS?



SECTION 4 � FIRST AID MEASURES



Eyes:

� Lifting eyelids, flush with plenty of water; Obtain medical assistance if irritation persists;

Skin:

� Wash with soap and water; If irritation persists, seek medical attention;

Ingestion:

� Unlikely to happen as the product is a vapour/mist at room temperature; If product enters mouth,

    rinse mouth out with water and avoid swallowing;

Inhalation:

� Get to supply of fresh air; If irregular breathing occurs, qualified personnel should administer

    artificial respiration; Seek medical assistance if symptoms persist.

SECTION 5 � FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES



Unusual Fire and Explosion hazards:

� Under the normal conditions of use and when subjected to various flame/explosion tests defined by

    the relevant EC Directives and US DOT criteria, this product does not readily support combustion

    and is as such, classed non-flammable. However, it does contain a maximum of 20% flammable

    substances. Consequently, the product may present a slight flammability hazard if the canisters are

    involved in a fire or the flammable components fractionate (through a leak), producing compositions

    that are flammable.

Extinguishing Media:

� For large fires, use alcohol resistant foam, CO2 or dry chemical powder;



Unsuitable Extinguishing Agent:

� Water with full jets;



Special Fire Fighting Procedures:

� Use water sprays to keep containers that are near a fire cool and vapours down;

� Move cans way from fire area if it can be done without risk to personnel;

� Fire fighters must wear self-contained breathing apparatus to guard against being overwhelmed by

    the products of combustion.



Special exposure hazards:

� None.



SECTION 6 � ACCIDENTAL RELEASE (SPILL AND LEAK) MEASURES:



Person-related safety precautions:

� With uncontrollable releases (i.e., release from several cans at once), evacuate affected area and

    ventilate;

Environmental Protection:

� Prevent run-offs from entering public watercourses;

Measures for cleaning:

� Ensure adequate ventilation to allow for evaporation of volatile components;

� Eliminate all sources of ignition before spill clean-up begins;

� Monitor area for combustible vapours and the level of oxygen;

� Absorb any remaining liquid components with liquid binding material and place in suitable container.



       HOW CAN HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS BE PREVENTED FROM OCCURRING?



SECTION 7 � PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING, STORAGE & USE



Safe handling:

� Good practices include keeping product away from heat, sparks and other ignition sources;

� Contents are under pressure- do not puncture or force open cans even when empty- cans may contain

    residual liquid or vapours which may be flammable;



Safe Storage:

� Observe official regulations on storing packaging with pressure containers;

� Store containers in cool, dry locations away from direct sunlight and do not store at temperatures

    exceeding 50oC (122oF) (e.g. passenger or back seat of a car in summer months);

� Do not store together with strong acids or oxidising agents;



Safe Use:

� As with all chemicals, avoid getting this product IN YOU- do not eat and drink whilst handling

    chemicals;

� Ensure good ventilation/mechanical exhaustion at workplace- if this is not possible, take regular

    breaks from use;

� Do not deliberately concentrate or inhale vapours;

� Follow label directions carefully; use only with SOLO dispenser.

SECTION 8 � EXPOSURE CONTROLS



Respiratory Protection:

� No protective device is required during normal use of product;

� Mechanical ventilation is recommended where product is used in confined spaces- if this is not

   possible, take regular breaks in fresh air.



Personal Protection:

� Wear PPE (personal protective equipment) appropriate to the task and the environment.
