SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
General advice
Immediate medical attention is required. Consult a physician. Show this safety data sheet to thedoctor in attendance. Move out of dangerous area.
If inhaled
Remove person into fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Avoid direct contact
with skin. Use barrier to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Artificial respiration and/or oxygen
may be necessary. Consult a physician. If symptoms persist, call a physician.
In case of skin contact
Immediately wash off with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated clothes
and shoes. Wash contaminated clothing immediately with plenty of water before reuse. Consulta physician.
In case of eye contact
Flush eyes with plenty of water immediately. After initial flushing, remove any contact lenses
and continue flushing for at least 15 minutes. Keep the eye wide open while rinsing. Call aphysician immediately.
If swallowed
Do NOT induce vomiting. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Drink plenty of water. Clean mouth with waterand drink afterwards plenty of water.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
The most important known symptoms and effects are described in the labelling (see section 2.2)
and/or in section 11.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Note to physicians: treat symptomatically.

SECTION 5: FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media:
Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
Unsuitable extinguishing media:
Do NOT use water jet.
Specific hazards arising from the substance or mixture:
Carbon oxides, Sulphur oxides.
Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters:
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting.
Further information
Use water spray to cool unopened containers.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
Avoid breathing vapours, mist or gas. Remove all sources of ignition. Beware of vapours
accumulating to form explosive concentrations. Vapours can accumulate in low areas.
For personal protection see section 8.
Environmental precautions:
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains.
Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:
Contain spillage, and then collect with non-combustible absorbent material (e.g. sand,earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according tolocal / national regulations (see section 13). Keep in suitable, closed containers fordisposal.
Reference to other sections
For disposal see section 13.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling:
Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Use personal protective equipment as required.
Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Avoid inhalation of vapour or mist. Keep awayfrom sources of ignition - No smoking. Take measures to prevent the build up ofelectrostatic charge.

conditions which differ from EN 374, contact the supplier of theCE approved gloves. This recommendation is advisory only andmust be evaluated by an industrial hygienist and safety officer
familiar with the specific situation of anticipated use by ourcustomers. It should not be construed as offering an approval forany specific use scenario.
Impervious clothing.
Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators areappropriate, use a full face respirator with multi-purpose
combination (US) or type ABEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges
as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the solemeans of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use
respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate
government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Regular cleaning ofequipment, work area and clothing is recommended. Avoid
contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Wash hands thoroughly
after handling. Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding
stuffs.
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let
product enter drains.
