3. Composition/information on ingredients
This product does not contain any hazardous ingredients at or above regulated thresholds.

4. First aid measures
Eye contact

In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical
attention if symptoms occur.

Skin contact

Flush contaminated skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash
clothing before reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse. Get medical attention if symptoms
occur.

Inhalation

If inhaled, remove to fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

Ingestion

Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person. If potentially dangerous quantities of this material have been
swallowed, call a physician immediately. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

5. Fire-fighting measures
Flash point

Open cup: >190.6°C (>375.1°F) [Cleveland.]

Fire/explosion hazards

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

Extinguishing media
Suitable

Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire.

Not suitable

Do not use water jet.

Fire-fighting procedures

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.

Hazardous combustion
products

Combustion products may include the following:
carbon oxides (CO, CO2) (carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide)

Protective clothing (fire)

Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus
(SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.

6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions

No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Keep unnecessary
and unprotected personnel from entering. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. In
accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety work practices, airborne exposures should be
controlled to the lowest extent practicable. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate
respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see
section 8).

Environmental
precautions

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).

Methods for cleaning up
Large spill

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.

Small spill

Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Dilute with water and mop up if watersoluble or absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container.
Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.

7. Handling and storage
Handling

Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8). Workers should wash hands
and face before eating, drinking and smoking. Do not breathe vapor or mist. Do not ingest. Avoid
contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate
respirator when ventilation is inadequate.

Storage

Store in accordance with local regulations. Store away from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and wellventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see section 10). 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.

8. Exposure controls/personal protection
Occupational exposure limits
Some states may enforce more stringent exposure limits.
Control Measures

Use only with adequate ventilation. If user operations generate dust, fumes, gas, vapor or mist,
use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker
exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutory limits.

Hygiene measures

Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before eating,
smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period. Appropriate techniques
should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated clothing before
reusing.

Personal protection
Eyes

Avoid contact with eyes. Safety glasses with side shields or chemical goggles.

Skin and body

Avoid contact with skin and clothing. Wear suitable protective clothing.

Respiratory

Use adequate ventilation. In accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety work practices,
airborne exposures should be controlled to the lowest extent practicable.

Hands

The correct choice of protective gloves depends upon the chemicals being handled, the conditions
of work and use, and the condition of the gloves (even the best chemically resistant glove will
break down after repeated chemical exposures). Most gloves provide only a short time of
protection before they must be discarded and replaced. Because specific work environments and
material handling practices vary, safety procedures should be developed for each intended
application. Gloves should therefore be chosen in consultation with the supplier/manufacturer and
with a full assessment of the working conditions.
Consult your supervisor or S.O.P. for special handling instructions.
