### 4. FIRST AID MEASURE S

Inhalation: Move to fresh air. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration.

Immediate medical attention is required.

Skin contact: Take off all contaminated clothing immediately. Wash off immediately with soap and

plenty of water. Consult a physician. Wash contaminated clothing before re

- use.

Eye contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes.

Immediate medical attention is requ ired.

Ingestion: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If a person vomits when lying on

his back, place him in the recovery position. Drink 1 or 2 glasses of water. Call a physician

immediately.

Ignition temperature 426.0 °C ( 798.80 °F ) Ethyl acetate

Lower explosion limit 2.20 %(V)Ethyl acetate

Upper explosion limit 11.50 %(V)Ethyl acetate

Thermal decomposition Heating or fire conditions liberates toxic gas., Carbon oxides

Suitable extinguishing

media: Foam

Carbon dioxide (CO2)

Dry powder

Water spray

Specific hazards during fire fighting: Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back.

Heated material can form flammable or explosive vapors with air. Closed containers may rupture via

pressure build

- up when exposed to fire or extreme heat.

Special protective equipment for fire

- fighters: Wear self

- contained breathing apparatus and

protect ive suit.

Further information: For safety reasons in case of fire, containers should be stored separately in

closed containments.

Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water spray.



### 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEAS E MEASURES

Personal precautions

Remain upwind.

Avoid breathing smoke.

Remove all sources of ignition.



### Environmental precautions

Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.



### Methods for cleaning up

Evacuate personnel to safe areas.

Remove all sources of ignition.

Ensure adequate ventilation.

Contain spillage, and then collect 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).ADCOTE 560A

Page 4 of 7 Revision date 10/22/2007 

### 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling

Provide sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms. Avoid exceeding of the given

occupational exposure limits (see section 8). In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable

respiratory equipment. Wear person al protective equipment. For personal protection see section 8.

CONTAINERS MAY BE HAZARDOUS WHEN EMPTY. Since emptied containers retain product

residue follow all MSDS and label warnings even after container is emptied.



### Storage

Storage conditions: Material can burn; limit indoor storage to approved areas equipped with

automatic sprinklers. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well

- ventilated place. Keep away from

heat and sources of ignition. Electrical installations / working materials mus t comply with the

technological safety standards.

Eye protection: Chemical resistant goggles must be worn. Eye protection worn must be compatible

with respiratory protection system employed.

Hand protection: Chemical

- resistant gloves should be worn whenever this material is handled. The

glove(s) listed below may provide protection against permeation. (Gloves of other chemically resistant

materials may not provide adequate protection): 4H Glove (Trademark of Safety 4 A/S of Denmark)

Norfoil (Trademark of Siebe North, Inc.) Gloves should be removed and replaced immediately if there

is any indication of degrad ation or chemical breakthrough. Before removing gloves clean them with

soap and water.

Respiratory protection: A respiratory protection program meeting OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2

requirements or equivalent must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator ‟ s

use. None required under normal operating conditions. Where vapors and/or mists may occur, wear

a properly fitted NIOSH approved (or equivalent) half

- mask, air

- purifying respirator. Air

- purifying

respirators should be equipped wi th NIOSH approved (or equivalent) organic vapor cartridges and

N95 filters. If oil mist is present, use R95 or P95 filters.

Hygiene measures: Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling the product.

Protective measures: Facilities storin g or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash

facility and a safety shower.



### Engineering measures: Use explosion

- proof local exhaust ventilation with a minimum capture

velocity of 100 ft/min (0.5 m/sec) at the point of vapor evolution. R efer to the current edition of

Industrial Ventilation: A Manual of Recommended Practice published by the American Conference of

Governmental Industrial Hygienists for information on the design, installation, use, and maintenance of

exhaust systems.
