4267 Version #: 01 Revision date: 06-09-2010 Print date: 06-09-2010 4. First Aid Measures
First aid procedures
Eye contact
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses, ifpresent and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Get medical attention.
Skin contact
Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If skin rash or an allergic skinreaction develops, get medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Destroy orthoroughly clean contaminated shoes.
Inhalation
Move to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention, if needed.
Ingestion
Rinse mouth thoroughly. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, keep head low so thatstomach content does not get into the lungs. Get medical attention immediately.
Notes to physician
Keep victim under observation. In case of shortness of breath, give oxygen. Symptoms may bedelayed.
General advice
Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. Ensure that medical personnel are awareof the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves. Show this safety datasheet to the doctor in attendance. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Flammable properties
Flammable by OSHA criteria. Can be ignited easily and burns vigorously.
Strong oxidizer. Contact with combustible material may cause fire.
Organic peroxide. Heat may cause the containers to explode.
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing
Water. Water fog. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Unsuitable extinguishing
Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire. Halogenated materials.
Protection of firefighters
Specific hazards arising
Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along the from the chemical
floor and in the bottom of containers. Vapors may be ignited by a spark, a hot surface or anember. Greatly increases the burning rate of combustible materials.
Protective equipment and
Firefighters must use standard protective equipment including flame retardant coat, helmet with precautions for firefighters
face shield, gloves, rubber boots, and in enclosed spaces, SCBA. Fight fire from maximumdistance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Move containers from fire area if youcan do so without risk. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety device orany discoloration of tanks due to fire. Containers should be cooled with water to prevent vaporpressure build up. Cool containers exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out. Formassive fire in cargo area, use unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles, if possible. If not,withdraw and let fire burn out. Some of these materials, if spilled, may evaporate leaving aflammable residue.
Special protective equipment
Wear full protective clothing, including helmet, self-contained positive pressure or pressure for fire-fighters
demand breathing apparatus, protective clothing and face mask.
Specific methods
In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes.
Hazardous combustion
products
6. Accidental Release Measures
Personal precautions
Keep unnecessary personnel away. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillagescannot be contained. Keep upwind. Keep out of low areas. Ventilate closed spaces beforeentering them. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriateprotective clothing. See Section 8 of the MSDS for Personal Protective Equipment.
Environmental precautions
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not contaminate water.
Methods for containment
ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). Stopleak if you can do so without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is possible. Prevent entryinto waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas.
4267 Version #: 01 Revision date: 06-09-2010 Print date: 06-09-2010 Methods for cleaning up
Keep combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.) away from spilled material.
Small Spills: Absorb spill with vermiculite or other inert material, then place in a container forchemical waste. Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination.
Large Spills: Use a non-combustible material like vermiculite, sand or earth to soak up the productand place into a container for later disposal.
This material and its container must be disposed of as hazardous waste. Should not be releasedinto the environment. Prevent product from entering drains.
Other information
Clean up in accordance with all applicable regulations.
7. Handling and Storage
Handling
Wear personal protective equipment. Avoid breathing high vapor concentrations. Avoid contactwith eyes, skin, and clothing. Do not taste or swallow. Use only with adequate ventilation. Washthoroughly after handling. DO NOT handle, store or open near an open flame, sources of heat orsources of ignition. Protect material from direct sunlight. Do not cut, weld, solder, drill, grind, orexpose containers to heat, flame, sparks, or other sources of ignition. All equipment used whenhandling the product must be grounded. Use non-sparking tools and explosion-proof equipment.
Take precautionary measures against static discharges. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke.
Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Keep container tightly closed in a cool,well-ventilated place. For maximum shelf life, store between 4.4°C (40°F) to 26.7°C (80°F). Do notstore above 43.3°C (110°F). Do not store near combustible materials. Keep away from food, drinkand animal feeding stuffs. Keep out of the reach of children.
