4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Inhalation Move to fresh air. Get medical attention, if needed.

Eye Contact Hold eyelids apart and flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation 

persists get medical attention.

Skin Contact Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists. 

Ingestion Have victim rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Do not induce vomiting without medical 

advice. If ingestion of a large amount does occur, seek medical attention.

Most Important 

Symptoms/Effects, 

Acute and Delayed

Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause slight irritation of eyes and skin of susceptible 

persons. Inhalation of vapors in high concentration may cause irritation of the respiratory 

system.

Indication of 

Immediate Medical 

Attention or Special 

Treatment

These two products do not have health hazards that require special first aid measures. If you feel 

unwell, seek medical advice (show the label or SDS where possible).

Notes to Physician Treat symptomatically.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Suitable Extinguishing

Media Water Fog. Dry Chemical, Foam

Unsuitable Extinguishing 

Media Water. High volume water jet. If use water jet as an extinguisher, this will spread the fire

Specific Hazards Arising 

From the Chemical

Irritating and toxic gases or fumes may be released during a fire.

Containers may explode when heated. May burn, but does not ignite readily.

Hazardous Combustion 

Products Hydrogen chloride, carbon oxides, phosgene, chlorine

Protective Equipment and 

Precautions for Firefighters

In event of fire, wear self-contained pressure-demand breathing apparatus with full 

protective gear.

Fire Fighting 

Equipment/Instructions

Use water spray to cool unopened containers. Move containers from fire area, if you can 

do so without risk.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal Precautions Keep unnecessary personnel away. Ensure adequate ventilation. Use personal protective 

equipment. Avoid touching spilled materials.

Methods for Containment

ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate 

area). Stop leak if you can do so without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is 

possible. Prevent this material from contaminating soil or from entering sewage and 

drainage systems that lead to waterways.

Methods for Cleaning Up 

Spills

Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Should not be 

released into the environment.

Large Spills

Stop the flow of material, if safe to do so. Dike the spilled material, if possible. Dike far 

ahead of liquid spill for later disposal. Cover with plastic sheet to prevent spreading. 

Prevent product from entering drains. Absorb with earth, sand or other non-combustible 

material and transfer to containers for later disposal. Following product recovery, use oil 

absorbent to collect any residual material.
SAFETY DATA SHEET

 CPAR – LCCP

Page 3 of 9

Small Spills Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to remove 

residual contamination.

Environmental Precautions Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains. Do 

not contaminate water.

Other Information Never return spills in original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see Section 13.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for Safe 

Handling

DO NOT handle, store or open near an open flame, sources of heat or sources of ignition. 

Protect material from direct sunlight. Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact with this 

material. Wash hands after handling and before eating. Avoid breathing vapors or mists 

of this product. Wear personal protective equipment. Avoid release to the environment. 

Handle and open container with care. 

Conditions for Safe 

Storage, including 

incompatibilities

Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Store in a cool dry place. Keep container 

closed when not in use.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

Exposure Guidelines: Exposure Limits for this product have not been established. Avoid repeated or prolonged

exposure to vapor or mist without appropriate respiratory protection.

Engineering Controls: Under normal conditions of use, natural ventilation should effectively remove and prevent 

buildup of any vapor/mist/fume/dust generated from the handling of this product.

Personal Protective Equipment:

Eye / Face Protection Wear safety glasses with side-shields. If splashes are likely to occur, wear a face shield 

with safety glasses.

Skin Protection

Normal work clothing (long sleeved shirts and long pants) is recommended. If splashes 

are likely to occur, use apron or impervious suit, such as a Tyvek coverall. If liquid 

contact is likely to occur, manufacturer recommends nitrile gloves (ex: N-DEX Nitrile).

Respiratory Protection

No personal respiratory protective equipment normally required. If mist is generated 

(heating, spraying) and engineering controls are not sufficient, wear NIOSH-approved

organic vapor respirator with (R or P) particulate filter for oil mist.

Hygiene Considerations Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

Likely Routes of Exposure Skin contact, eye contact, inhalation, ingestion (skin is predominant route of exposure 

in workplace)

Signs and Symptoms of 

Exposure

Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause irritation of eyes and skin in sensitive 

persons. Inhalation of vapors in high concentration may cause irritation of respiratory

system.

Eyes Contact with eyes may cause slight irritation.

Skin Prolonged and/or repeated skin contact may result in mild irritation or redness.

Inhalation May cause slight irritation of respiratory tract. Avoid breathing vapors or mists of this 

product.

Ingestion Small amounts (a tablespoonful) swallowed during normal handling operations are not 

likely to cause injury; swallowing amounts larger than that may cause injury.

Chronic Effects From Short and Long Term Exposure:

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

There is no specific ecological information for the W40 or W50 product or for the C19-28 range. Information provided below is 

representative of the carbon chain range and percent of chlorination in the two products.

Ecotoxicity:

Ecologically significant impacts may have potential to occur if released to water and 

sediment. Although there is no established acute aquatic toxicity for these products, 

they may cause long lasting harmful effects to aquatic life due to studies that they do 

not readily biodegrade and may therefore persist in the environment.

Aquatic Toxicity:

 C22-26, 42% wt. Cl, 96h LC50 >5,000 mg/l, Bleak fish species, No effects seen

at solubility.

 C18-26, 49% wt. Cl, 91-day LC0 >3,400 mg/kg, Bleak, No effects seen at 

solubility.Bleak

 C>20, 48–54% wt. C,l 96h LC50 >300 mg/l, Bluegill Sunfish, No effects seen at 

solubility.

 C20-30, 42% wt. Cl, 96h LC50 >770 mg/l Rainbow Trout, No effects seen at 

solubility.

 C>20, 43% wt. Cl, No adverse effects seen over 48 hours, daphnia magna (does 

not meet Marine toxicity criteria)

Terrestrial Toxicity No data available.

Persistence and 

Degradability:

(Environmental Fate)

 Unlikely to be readily or inherently biodegradable. Assumed to be potentially 

persistent, as a result.

 No data available on degradation in soil or fate in atmosphere.

 Atmospheric half-life is estimated 20 to 25 hours

Bioaccumulative Potential: Not considered to be bioaccumulative.

Mobility in Soil: No data available.

Other Adverse Effects: Ozone Depletion Potential – not determined

Partition Coefficient

(n-octanol/water)

Log Kow = 10.3 is representative value

Koc = 2.77×108l/kg is representative value

BCF: BCF for LCCPs is considered to be <2,000 l/kg. Thus it is concluded that LCCPs are 

unlikely to meet the bioaccumulative criteria.
