General advice: 

First aid providers should wear personal protective equipment to prevent exposure. Remove contaminated 

clothing. Move person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call 911 or ambulance, then give artificial 

respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth if possible. Call a poison control center or physician for treatment advice.

Have the product container or label with you when calling a poison control center or doctor or going for 

treatment. 

If inhaled: 

Remove the affected individual into fresh air and keep the person calm. 

If on skin: 

Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15 - 20 minutes. 

If in eyes: 

Hold eyes open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, 

after first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing. 

If swallowed: 

Never induce vomiting or give anything by mouth if the victim is unconscious or having convulsions. Do not 

induce vomiting. Have person sip a glass of water if able to swallow. 

Note to physician

Treatment: Aspiration of this product during induced emesis can result in lung injury. If

Hazards during fire-fighting: 

No particular hazards known. 

Protective equipment for fire-fighting:

Firefighters should be equipped with self-contained breathing apparatus and turn-out gear. 

6. Accidental release measures

Personal precautions:

Take appropriate protective measures. Clear area. Shut off source of leak only under safe conditions.

Extinguish sources of ignition nearby and downwind. Ensure adequate ventilation. Wear suitable personal 

protective clothing and equipment. 

Environmental precautions:

Do not discharge into the subsoil/soil. Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater. Contain 

contaminated water/firefighting water. 
Cleanup:

Dike spillage. Pick up with suitable absorbent material. Place into suitable containers for reuse or disposal in a 

licensed facility. Spilled substance/product should be recovered and applied according to label rates whenever 

possible. If application of spilled substance/product is not possible, then spills should be contained, solidified, 

and placed in suitable containers for disposal. After decontamination, spill area can be washed with water.

Collect wash water for approved disposal. 

7. Handling and Storage

Handling

General advice:

Ensure adequate ventilation. Provide good ventilation of working area (local exhaust ventilation if necessary).

Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Keep container tightly sealed. Protect contents from the 

effects of light. Protect against heat. Protect from air. Avoid aerosol formation. Avoid dust formation. Provide 

means for controlling leaks and spills. Follow label warnings even after container is emptied. Avoid all direct 

contact with the substance/product. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. Avoid inhalation of 

dusts/mists/vapours. Wear suitable personal protective clothing and equipment. 

Protection against fire and explosion:

The relevant fire protection measures should be noted. Fire extinguishers should be kept handy. Avoid all 

sources of ignition: heat, sparks, open flame. Sources of ignition should be kept well clear. Avoid extreme heat.

Keep away from oxidizable substances. Electrical equipment should conform to national electric code. Ground 

all transfer equipment properly to prevent electrostatic discharge. Electrostatic discharge may cause ignition. 

Storage 

General advice:

Protect containers from physical damage. Protect against contamination. The authority permits and storage 

regulations must be observed. 

Storage incompatibility: 

General advice: Segregate from incompatible substances. Segregate from foods and animal feeds. Segregate 

from textiles and similar materials. 

Temperature tolerance 

Protect from temperatures above: 40 °C

Changes in the properties of the product may occur if substance/product is stored above indicated temperature 

for extended periods of time.

8. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Components with occupational exposure limits

heptane OSHA PEL 500 ppm 2,000 mg/m3 ; 

ACGIH TWA value 400 ppm ; STEL value 500 ppm ; 

Advice on system design:

Whenever possible, engineering controls should be used to minimize the need for personal protective 

equipment. 

Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection:

Wear respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate. Wear a NIOSH-certified (or equivalent) organic 

vapour/particulate respirator. For situations where the airborne concentrations may exceed the level for which 

an air purifying respirator is effective, or where the levels are unknown or Immediately Dangerous to Life or 

Health (IDLH), use NIOSH-certified full facepiece pressure demand self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) 

or a full facepiece pressure demand supplied-air respirator (SAR) with escape provisions. 
Hand protection:

Chemical resistant protective gloves, Protective glove selection must be based on the user's assessment of the 

workplace hazards.

Eye protection: 

Safety glasses with side-shields. Tightly fitting safety goggles (chemical goggles). Wear face shield if splashing 

hazard exists. 

Body protection: 

Body protection must be chosen depending on activity and possible exposure, e.g. head protection, apron, 

protective boots, chemical-protection suit.

General safety and hygiene measures: 

Wear long sleeved work shirt and long work pants in addition to other stated personal protective equipment.

Work place should be equipped with a shower and an eye wash. Handle in accordance with good industrial 

hygiene and safety practice. Personal protective equipment should be decontaminated prior to reuse. Gloves 

must be inspected regularly and prior to each use. Replace if necessary (e.g. pinhole leaks). Take off 

immediately all contaminated clothing. Store work clothing separately. Hands and/or face should be washed 

before breaks and at the end of the shift. No eating, drinking, smoking or tobacco use at the place of work. Keep 

away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs.
