Section 4. First-aid measures
Eye contact : In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with cool running water. Remove contact lenses and
continue flushing with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation
occurs.
: Get medical attention if symptoms appear. Wash clothing before reuse.
Skin Contact
Inhalation : If inhaled, remove to fresh air.

instructions
Dyke liquid for later disposal.
Combustible liquid and vapour. Vapours may accumulate in low or confined
areas or travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back.
Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard.
Special protective equipment for : Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained
fire-fighters breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure
mode.
Risk of explosion of the product in the presence of mechanical impact: Not available.
Risk of explosion of the product in the presence of static discharge: Not available.
Section 6. Accidental release measures
Personal : Immediately contact emergency personnel. Eliminate all ignition sources. Keep unnecessary
Precautions personnel away. Use suitable protective equipment. Do not touch or walk through spilt material.
Environmental : Avoid dispersal of spilt material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers.
precautions Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental pollution (sewers,
waterways, soil or air).
Methods for : If emergency personnel are unavailable, contain spilt material. For small spills, add absorbent
cleaning up (soil may be used in the absence of other suitable materials) and use a non-sparking or
explosion-proof means to transfer material to a sealable, appropriate container for disposal. For
large spills, dyke spilt material or otherwise contain material to ensure runoff does not reach a
waterway. Place spilt material in an appropriate container for disposal.
Section 7. Handling and storage
Handling : Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. To avoid fire, eliminate ignition sources.
Storage : Keep out of the reach of children. Store in a segregated and approved area. Keep container in
a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Avoid
all possible sources of ignition (spark or flame).
Do not store above the following temperature: 30掳C
Section 8. Exposure controls, personal protection
Engineering measures : Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control worker exposure to airborne
contaminants.
Personal protection :
Eyes : No protective equipment is needed under normal use conditions.
Hands : No protective equipment is needed under normal use conditions.
Skin : No protective equipment is needed under normal use conditions.
Respiratory : No protective equipment is needed under normal use conditions.
