3 / 10 SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Skin contact : Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.

Eye contact : Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical

advice.

Inhalation : Move to fresh air. Oxygen or artificial respiration if needed. Symptoms may be delayed. Call a physician immediately.

Ingestion : Call a physician or poison control centre immediate ly. If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

General advice : When symptoms persist or in all cases of doubt seek medical advice.

SECTION 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

Flammable Properties Flash point : closed cup

does not flash

Thermal decomposition : > 200 °C (> 392 °F) To avoid thermal decomposition, do not overheat. Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irri tating gases and vapours.

Fire and Explosion Hazard : The product itself does not burn. Hazardous decompo sition products formed under fire conditions. Hazardous combustion product s Hydrogen fluoride Carbon dioxide (CO2) Carbon monoxide Other hazardou s decomposition products may be formed.

Suitable extinguishing media : Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.

Firefighting Instructions : Wear self contained breathing apparatus for fire fi ghting if necessary. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Do not allow run -off from fire fighting to

enter drains or water courses.

4 / 10 SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

NOTE: Review FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES and HANDLING (P ERSONNEL) sections before proceeding with cleanup. Use appropriate PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT d uring clean-up.

Safeguards (Personnel) : Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Use personal prot ective equipment.

Ventilate the area.

Spill Cleanup : Dam up. Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust). Pick up and tra nsfer to properly labelled

containers.

Accidental Release Measures : Do not discharge to streams, ponds, lakes or sewers . Avoid subsoil penetration.

SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling (Personnel) : Avoid formation of respirable particles. Do not bre athe vapours or spray mist. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Wash hands before breaks and immediately after hand ling the product. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.

Handling (Physical Aspects) : To avoid thermal decomposition, do not overheat. Th ermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapours

. Do not spray near open flame or heated surface.

Storage : Keep tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventila ted place.

SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Personal protective equipment Respiratory protection : In case of mist, spray or aerosol exposure wear sui table personal respiratory protection and protective suit.

Hand protection : Additional protection: Impervious gloves
