CAUSES RESPIRATORY TRACT, EYE AND SKIN BURNS. MAY BE HARMFUL IF

SWALLOWED. CANCER HAZARD - CONTAINS MATERIAL WHICH CAN CAUSE

CANCER.

Corrosive to the eyes, skin and respiratory system. Causes burns. May be harmful if

swallowed. Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use. Do not breathe vapor

or mist. Do not ingest. Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing. Contains material which

can cause cancer. Risk of cancer depends on duration and level of exposure. Use only

with adequate ventilation. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use.

Get medical attention immediately. Wash out mouth with water. Move exposed person to

fresh air. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel.

Chemical burns must be treated promptly by a physician. Never give anything by mouth

to an unconscious person.

Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower

eyelids. Check for and remove any contact lenses. Get medical attention if irritation

occurs.

Flush contaminated skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.

Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Get

medical attention if symptoms occur.

Symptomatic and supportive therapy as needed. Following severe exposure medical

follow-up should be monitored for at least 48 hours.

No specific data.

Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire.

Fire-fighting measures

Products of combustion

Extinguishing media

Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if there

is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.

In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst.

Special protective

equipment for fire-fighters

Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing

apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.

Suitable :

Not suitable :

Flash point : Closed cup: >93.33°C (>200°F)

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

surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Do not

touch or walk through spilled material. Do not breathe vapor or mist. Provide adequate

ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put on

appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8).

Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Approach release from upwind.

Prevent entry into sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas. Wash spillages

into an effluent treatment plant or proceed as follows. Contain and collect spillage with

non-combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth

and place in container for disposal according to local regulations (see section 13).

Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Contaminated absorbent material

may pose the same hazard as the spilled product. Note: see section 1 for emergency

contact information and section 13 for waste disposal.

Environmental precautions

Accidental release measures

: Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and

sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental pollution

(sewers, waterways, soil or air).

XOF 25S, EXPERIMENTAL

Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original container protected from

direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials

(see section 10) and food and drink. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready

for use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright

to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Use appropriate containment

to avoid environmental contamination.

Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Eating, drinking and

smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and

processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking.

Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing. Do not breathe vapor or mist. Do not ingest.

Use only with adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is

inadequate. Keep in the original container or an approved alternative made from a

compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in use. Empty containers retain product

residue and can be hazardous. Do not reuse container.

Exposure controls/personal protection

Product name Exposure limits

Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying with an approved

standard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must be

based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe

working limits of the selected respirator.

Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk

assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists or

dusts.

Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task being

performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before handling

this product.

Personal protection

Eyes

Skin

Respiratory

Consult local authorities for acceptable exposure limits.

:

:

:

Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be

worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is

necessary.

Hands :

8 .

Engineering controls Use local exhaust ventilation to maintain airborne concentrations below the TLV. Suitable

respiratory equipment should be used in cases of insufficient ventilation or where

operational procedures demand it. For guidance on engineering control measures refer

to publications such as the ACGIH current edition of 'Industrial Ventilation, a manual of

Recommended Practice.'

:

Preventive Measures Conditions of use, adequacy of engineering or other control measures, and actual

exposures will dictate the need for specific protective devices at your workplace.

The generation of waste should be avoided or minimized wherever possible. Significant

quantities of waste product residues should not be disposed of via the foul sewer but

processed in a suitable effluent treatment plant. Dispose of surplus and non-recyclable

products via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Disposal of this product, solutions and

any by-products should at all times comply with the requirements of environmental

protection and waste disposal legislation and any regional local authority requirements.

Waste packaging should be recycled. Incineration or landfill should only be considered

when recycling is not feasible. This material and its container must be disposed of in a

safe way. Care should be taken when handling emptied containers that have not been

cleaned or rinsed out. Empty containers or liners may retain some product residues.

Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and

sewers.
