4 . First-aid measures
Eye contact
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Eyelids should
be held away from the eyeball to ensure thorough rinsing. Check for and remove any contact lenses.
Get medical attention if irritation occurs.
Skin contact
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing
contaminated clothing and shoes. Drench contaminated clothing with water before removing. This is
necessary to avoid the risk of sparks from static electricity that could ignite contaminated clothing.
Contaminated clothing is a fire hazard. Contaminated leather, particularly footwear, must be
discarded. Wash clothing before reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse. Get medical attention.

Inhalation
Get medical attention immediately. If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, if breathing is
irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel.
If exposure to vapour, mists or fumes causes drowsiness, headache, blurred vision or irritation of the
eyes, nose or throat, remove immediately to fresh air. Keep patient warm and at rest. If any symptoms
persist obtain medical advice.
Ingestion
Get medical attention immediately. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately.
Aspiration hazard if swallowed. Can enter lungs and cause damage.
5 . Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable
In case of fire, use water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide extinguisher or spray.
Not suitable
Hazardous decomposition
products
Decomposition products may include the following materials: carbon oxides (CO, CO2) (carbon
monoxide, carbon dioxide)
Unusual fire/explosion
hazards
Extremely flammable liquid. In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may
burst, with the risk of a subsequent explosion. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard.
Special fire-fighting
procedures
Fire water contaminated with this material must be contained and prevented from being discharged to
any waterway, sewer or drain. Move containers from fire area if this can be done without risk. No
action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Promptly isolate the
scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if there is a fire. This material is toxic to
aquatic organisms. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
Protection of fire-fighters
Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus
(SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.
3YE
Hazchem code
No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Evacuate surrounding
areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Do not touch or walk through
spilt material. Shut off all ignition sources. No flares, smoking or flames in hazard area. Avoid
breathing vapour or mist. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation
is inadequate. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8).
Environmental precautions
Avoid dispersal of spilt 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). Water polluting material. May be harmful to the environment if released in large
quantities.
Large spill
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Approach the 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. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Dispose of via a
licensed waste disposal contractor. Contaminated absorbent material may pose the same hazard as
the spilt product.
Small spill
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Dilute with water and mop up if watersoluble. Alternatively, or if water-insoluble, absorb with an inert dry material and place in an
appropriate waste disposal container. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Dispose
of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment. Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before
use. Avoid exposure during pregnancy. Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing. Do not swallow.
Aspiration hazard Can enter lungs and cause damage. Never siphon by mouth. Avoid breathing
vapour or mist. Avoid contact of spilt material and runoff with soil and surface waterways. Use only
with adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Keep in the
original container or an approved alternative made from a compatible material, kept tightly closed
when not in use. Store and use away from heat, sparks, open flame or any other ignition source. Use
explosion-proof electrical (ventilating, lighting and material handling) equipment. Use non-sparking
tools. Take precautionary measures against electrostatic discharges. Do not reuse container. Empty
containers retain product residue and can be hazardous.
Storage
Store in a segregated and approved area. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep
container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark or
flame). Store and use only in equipment/containers designed for use with this product. Do not remove
warning labels from containers.
Do not enter storage tanks without breathing apparatus unless the tank has been well ventilated and
the tank atmosphere has been shown to contain hydrocarbon vapour concentrations of less than
1% of the lower flammability limit and an oxygen concentration of at least 20% volume.
Light hydrocarbon vapours can build up in the headspace of tanks. These can cause
flammability/explosion hazards even at temperatures below the normal flash point (note: flash point
must not be regarded as a reliable indicator of the potential flammability of vapour in tank
headspaces). Tank headspaces should always be regarded as potentially flammable and care should
be taken to avoid static electrical discharge and all ignition sources during filling, ullaging and
sampling from storage tanks.

Language ENGLISH
(ENGLISH)
When the product is pumped (e.g. during filling, discharge or ullaging) and when sampling, there is a
risk of static discharge. Ensure equipment used is properly earthed or bonded to the tank structure.
If product comes into contact with hot surfaces, or leaks occur from pressurised fuel pipes, the vapour
or mists generated will create a flammability or explosion hazard.
Product contaminated rags, paper or material used to absorb spillages, represent a fire hazard, and
should not be allowed to accumulate. Dispose of safely immediately after use.
