SECTION 4 – FIRST AID MEASURES
First Aid
Swallowed:
If swallowed DO NOT induce vomiting. Give a glass of water to drink. Seek
immediate medical assistance or contact the Poisons Information Centre.
Eye:
If in eyes, hold eyelids apart and flush continuously with running water.
Continue flushing until advised by the Poisons Information Centre or a doctor,
or for at least 15 minutes
Skin:
If skin or hair contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and flush skin
and hair with running water.
Inhaled
Remove victim from further exposure. Remove contaminated clothing and
loosen remaining clothing. Allow patient to assume most comfortable
position. Seek medical attention if effects persist. If not breathing apply
artificial respiration
Advice to Doctor
Treat symptomatically.
SECTION 5 – FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire/Explosion Hazard
Flammable liquid. May form flammable mixtures with air. Burns with a colourless flame. Above flash point, vapor-air
mixtures are explosive within flammable limits noted above. Vapors can flow along surfaces to distant ignition source
and flash back. Contact with strong oxidizers may cause fire. Sensitive to static discharge. Fumes containing carbon
dioxide, carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide may be formed in large fires. Keep containers cool by spraying with
water to prevent pressure building up inside the drums, causing them to burst. Avoid contact with incompatibles such
as oxidising agents, organic peroxides, radioactive substances, flammable gases in bulk, poisonous gases,
spontaneously combustible substances.
Extinguishing Media
Flammable liquid. Fire fighters should wear full protective equipment including self-contained breathing apparatus.
Use water to cool exposed containers. Heating can cause expansion or decomposition leading to violent rupture of
containers. If safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire. Use fog (or if unavailable fine water spray), dry
chemical, carbon dioxide or alcohol stable foam. Avoid using large quantities of water.
SECTION 6 – ACCIDENTALRELEASE MEASURES
Spills
Ventilate area of leak or spill. In the event of spillage eliminate all sources of ignition and take measures to prevent
static discharge - no smoking. Use non-sparking tools and equipment.Clean up personnel should wear full protective
equipment including self-contained breathing apparatus. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering
area. Prevent run-off into drains and waterways. Contain spill for salvage or absorb in inert absorbent material (eg
vermiculite, dry sand, or earth). Do not use combustible materials, such as sawdust. Place used absorbent in
suitable, sealable, labelled containers, follow state or local authority regulations and guidelines for the disposal of the
waste. Clean area with detergent and water.
SECTION 7 – HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
:
Avoid skin and eye contact
Storage
:
Protect against physical damage. Store in a cool, dry well-ventilated location, away from any area
where the fire hazard may be acute. Outside or detached storage is preferred. Separate from oxidizing materials.
Containers should be bonded and grounded for transfers to avoid static sparks. Storage and use areas should be
NO SMOKING areas. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues
(vapors, liquid); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
