SECTION 4. First-aid measures
4.1. Description of first aid measures
General information
Get medical attention if any discomfort continues. Show this Safety Data Sheet to the medical
personnel.

Inhalation Move affected person to fresh air and keep warm and at rest in a position
 comfortable for
 breathing. Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as collar, tie
 or belt.

Ingestion Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Give a few small glasses of water or milk
to drink.
 Stop if the affected person feels sick as vomiting may be dangerous. Do not
 induce vomiting unless under the direction of medical personnel. If vomiting
 occurs, the head should be kept low so that vomit does not enter the lungs.
 Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Move affected
 person to fresh air and keep warm and at rest in a position comfortable for
 breathing. Place unconscious person on their side in the recovery position
 and ensure breathing can take place. Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight
 clothing such as collar, tie or belt.

Skin Contact Wash thoroughly with plenty of soap and water.
Eye contact Rinse immediately with plenty of water. Remove any contact lenses and open
 eyelids wide apart. Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes.

Protection of first aiders First aid personnel should wear appropriate protective equipment during any
 rescue.

Hazardous combustion Thermal decomposition or combustion products may include the following
products substances: Harmful gases or vapors.

5.3. Advice for firefighters
Protective actions during Avoid breathing fire gases or vapours. Evacuate area. Cool containers
firefighting exposed to heat with water spray and remove them from the fire area if it
 can be done without risk. Cool containers exposed to flames with water until
 well after the fire is out. If a leak or spill has not ignited, use water spray to
 disperse vapours and protect men stopping the leak.

Special protective Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and
equipment for firefighters appropriate protective clothing. Firefighter's clothing conforming to European
 standard EN469 (including helmets, protective boots and gloves) will provide
 a basic level of protection for chemical incidents.

6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Methods for cleaning up Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet.
 Clear up spills immediately and dispose of waste safely. Reuse or recycle
 products wherever possible. Approach the spillage from upwind. Small
 Spillages: Absorb the spillage with an inert, dry material and place it in a
 suitable waste disposal container. Large Spillages: If leakage cannot be
 stopped, evacuate area. Flush spilled material into an effluent treatment
 plant or proceed as follows. Contain and absorb spillage with sand, earth or
 other non-combustible material. Place waste in labelled, sealed containers.
 Clean contaminated objects and areas thoroughly, observing environmental
 regulations. Flush
 contaminated area with plenty of water. Wash thoroughly after dealing with a
 spillage.
 Dispose of waste to licensed waste disposal site in accordance with the
 requirements of the local Waste Disposal Authority.

limits

Ingredient comments
 No exposure limits known for ingredient(s). 8.2. Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering Provide adequate ventilation. Use process enclosures, local exhaust
controls ventilation or other engineering controls as the primary means to minimise
 worker exposure. Personal protective equipment should only be used if
 worker exposure cannot be controlled
 adequately by the engineering control measures. Ensure control measures
 are regularly
 inspected and maintained. Ensure operatives are trained to minimise
 exposure. Eye/face protection Eyewear complying with an approved standard should be worn if a risk
 assessment indicates eye contact is possible. Personal protective equipment
 for eye and face protection should comply with European Standard EN166. Wear tight-fitting, chemical splash goggles or face shield. Hand protection Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard
 should be worn if a risk assessment indicates skin contact is possible. The
 most suitable glove should be chosen in consultation with the glove
 supplier/manufacturer, who can provide information about the breakthrough
 time of the glove material. To protect hands from chemicals, gloves should
 comply with European Standard EN374.
