3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION.

Eye contact: Irritating to eyes.
Skin contact: Slight skin irritant. Prolonged or repeated can cause dermatitis.
Inhalation: High levels of vapour / mist cause dizziness. Can cause irritation of the respiratory tract.
Ingestion: Accidental ingestion is an unlikely event.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES.

Eye contact: Contact lenses should be removed. Irrigate copiously with clean, fresh water for at least 10 minutes, holding the eyelids apart, and seek medical advice.
Skin contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water or use a proprietary skin cleaner. Do NOT use solvents or thinners. If in doubt, seek medical advice.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air, keep the patient warm and at rest. If breathing is irregular or has stopped, administer artificial respiration. Give nothing by mouth. If unconscious, place in the recovery position and seek medical advice.
Ingestion: If accidentally swallowed, obtain immediate medical attention. Keep at rest. Do NOT induce vomiting.

5. FIRE - FIGHTING MEASURES.

Extinguishing media: BCF/CO2/ foam/Dry chemical powder.
Do not use: Water jet.
Special fire fighting procedures: Fire exposed containers should be sprayed with water to lessen risk of explosion.
Unusual fire and explosion hazards: High temperature sources will cause decomposition producing irritating and toxic alkaline fumes.
Breathing apparatus should be worn if the product has been exposed to fire condidtions.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES.

Procedures for leaks or spillage: Exclude sources of ignition and ventilate the area. Exclude non - essential personnel. Avoid breathing vapours. Refer to protective measures listed in Section 7 & 8. Contain and collect spillage's with non - combustible absorbent materials, e.g. sand earth, vermiculite, diatomaceous earth and place in a suitable container for disposal in accordance with waste regulations (see Section 13). Do not allow to enter drains or water courses.
Clean preferably with a detergent; avoid the use of solvents if the product enters drains or sewers, the local water company should be contacted immediately; in the case of contamination of streams, rivers or lakes, the National Rivers Authority.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE.

Handling: Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. They may form explosive mixtures with air. Prevent the creation of flammable or explosive concentrations of vapour in air and avoid concentrations higher than the occupational exposure limits. Use only in areas from which all sources of heat, sparks and open flame have been excluded. Avoid skin and eye contact. Avoid inhalation of vapour and spray mist. Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in areas of use and storage.
Storage: Store below 50 Deg. C in a dry, well ventilated place away from sources of heat, ignition and direct sunlight. No smoking. Observe the label precautions. Store separately from strong oxidising agents and strongly alkaline and strongly acidic materials.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION.

INGREDIENT NAME OES / MEL 8hr TWA 15min STEL
OES
OES
Engineering measures: Provide adequate ventilation to maintain the flammable vapour concentration well below the lower explosive limit (LEL) and ensure the airborne concentration of substances to which an OES has been assigned is below that OES ( Occupational Exposure Standard).
Respiratory protection:
Hand protection:
Eye protection: Eye protection designed to protect against liquid splashes should be worn.
Skin protection:Cotton or cotton / synthetic overalls are normally suitable. Grossly contaminated clothing should be removed and the skin washed with soap and water or a proprietary skin cleaner.
