Prolonged exposure may cause chronic effects. Repeated or prolonged skin contact may

cause skin irritation and/or dermatitis and sensitization of susceptible persons. Chronic

exposure to corrosive fumes/gases may cause erosion of the teeth followed by jaw

necrosis. Bronchial irritation with chronic cough and frequent attacks of pneumonia are

common. Gastrointestinal disturbances may also be seen.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

Eye Contact Immediately flush with plenty of water. After initial flushing, remove any contact lenses and

continue flushing for at least 15 minutes. Do not rub affected area. Rinse thoroughly with

plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids. Consult a physician.

Flammable Properties Not flammable

Environmental hazard

Flash Point > 300 °F / > 149 °C

Skin Contact Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated

clothes and shoes. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Consult a

physician. Allergic symptoms may develop within 12 hours after exposure. In the case of

skin irritation or allergic reactions see a physician.

Method closed cup

See Section 12 for additional Ecological Information.

Aggravated Medical Conditions

Suitable Extinguishing Media Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the

surrounding environment. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Alcohol-resistant foam. Dry chemical.

Chemical Name

Inhalation Move to fresh air in case of accidental inhalation of vapors or decomposition products. Get

medical attention immediately if symptoms occur.

CAS-No

Unsuitable Extinguishing Media Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.

Weight %

Respiratory disorders. Skin disorders. Call a doctor immediately if allergic signs, particularly

in the respiratory tract, are observed.

Hazardous Combustion Products Carbon monoxide (CO). Carbon dioxide (CO2). Nitrogen oxides (NOx). Sulfur oxides.

Hydrocarbons. Decomposes in a fire giving off toxic fumes and dense clouds of smoke.

Ingestion Do NOT induce vomiting. Call a physician or Poison Control Center immediately. Rinse

mouth. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Risk of product entering

the lungs on vomiting after ingestion. Smallest quantities reaching the lungs through

swallowing or subsequent vomiting may result in lung edema or pneumonia.

Methods for Containment Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth,

diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according to local /

national regulations (see Section 13). Prevent material from entering surface waters, drains

or sewers, and soil. Spills of material which could reach surface waters must be reported to

the United States Coast Guard National Response Center's toll free phone number (800)

424-8802.

Methods for Cleaning Up Pick up and transfer to properly labeled containers. Clean contaminated surface thoroughly.

May cause sensitization by inhalation and skin contact. Heating of containers may cause

pressure rise, with risk of bursting. Avoid prolonged contact with rags or other porous

materials - may spontaneously combust. Always store rags used for wiping purposes that

may have contacted this product in an appropriate metal container.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Protective Equipment and

Precautions for Firefighters

Advice on Safe Handling Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Avoid contact with

skin, eyes and clothing. Do not breathe vapors or spray mist. In case of insufficient

ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Wear personal protective equipment. Refer

to Section 8. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Do not puncture or incinerate. If

spilled, take caution, as material can cause surfaces to become very slippery. Do not eat,

drink or smoke when using this product. Wash thoroughly after handling. There is a hazard

associated with rags, paper or any other material used to remove spills which become

soaked with product. Avoid accumulation of these: they are to be disposed off safely after

use. Never pierce, drill, grind, cut, saw or weld any empty container.

Personal Precautions

Technical Measures/Storage

Conditions

Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep away from

direct sunlight. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Store in accordance with local

regulations. Store away from incompatible materials (see section 10). Store in original

container. Do not re-use empty containers. Keep away from food, drink and animal

feedingstuffs.

No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Evacuate

non-essential personnel. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Avoid breathing

vapors or mists. Ensure adequate ventilation. For personal protection see section 8.

As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH

(approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.

Environmental Precautions Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system. Try to prevent the material from

entering drains or water courses. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or

confined areas. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be

contained.
