| Ingestion: | If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Keep at rest. Seek immediate medical attention. |
| Eye Contact: | Flush eyes with large amounts of water until irritation subsides. Seek immediate medical attention. |
| Skin Contact: | Flush area with large amounts of water and wash area with soap if available. Remove contaminated clothing, including shoes, and launder before reuse. Seek medical attention for skin irritations. |
| Inhalation: | Using proper respiratory protection, immediately remove the affective victim from exposure. Administer artificial respiration if breathing has stopped. Keep at rest. Seek immediate medical attention. |
| First Aid Facilities: | Provide eye baths and safety showers. |
| Medical Attention: | Treat according to symptoms. |
Fire Fighting Measures
This product is unlikely to pose a combustion risk, nor provide a significant ‘fuel’ hazard. If possible, segregate the product from the source of the fire, if safe to do so. Allow trained personnel to attend a fire in progress providing fire fighters with this Safety Data Sheet. Prevent extinguishing media from escaping to drains and
waterways.
Mobile users please drag the table to the left to view other columns.
| Suitable Extinguishing Media | Water spray, water fog or fine mist, alcohol foam. |
| Precautions for fire fighters and special protective equipment | Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. |

|
Handling & Storage
Mobile users please drag the table to the left to view other columns.
| Precautions for Safe Handling | Do not open near open flame, sources of heat or ignition. No smoking. Keep container closed. Handle containers with care. Open slowly to control possible pressure release. Use grounding leads to avoid discharge (electrical spark). |
| Conditions for Safe Storage | Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. |
| Incompatible Materials | None specified. |
Exposure Controls: Personal Protection
Mobile users please drag the table to the left to view other columns.
| National Exposure Standards: | The time weighted average concentration (TWA) for this product is: None specified. Consider 5 g/m3, which means the highest allowable exposure concentration in an eight-hour day for a five-day working week. The short term exposure limit (STEL) is: None specified. Consider 10 g/m3, which is the maximum allowable exposure concentration at any time. Replacing a TWA or STEL value for some products is a Peak Limitation value (Peak): None applies in this case. In addition to the exposure concentrations may be a subsidiary caution in such cases where the product is a skin sensitiser, represented as (Sen), where none applies in this case. |
| Biological Limit Values (BLV): | None specified, |
| Engineering Controls: Ventilation | The use of local exhaust ventilation is not essential to control process emissions near the source. Laboratory samples can be handled in a fume hood, but are safely managed at open benches. Consider mechanical ventilation of confined spaces. Explosion proof equipment is not required when handling this product. It is recommended that standard industrial hygiene practices are employed when using this product, e.g. it is recommended to wash hands after using this product, before eating, drinking, or smoking. |
| Respiratory Protection: | It is unlikely that vapour concentrations in air may approach or exceed the limits described in the National Exposure Standards; however, it is recommended to use a half-face filter mask to protect from overexposure by inhalation. A type ‘A’ filter material is considered suitable for this product. |
| Eye Protection: | Consider the use of safety glasses when handling this product, as standard industrial hygiene practice; protective eye wear is not essential when using this product. |
| Skin/Body Protection: | There is no essential recommended outer-wear required when handling this product. For further information on skin protection, refer to Section 11: Skin Contact effects. |
