    Section 3: Hazards Identification

    Potential Acute Health Effects:


    Very hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant, permeator), of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation. Inflammation of
    the eye is characterized by redness, watering, and itching. Skin inflammation is characterized by itching, scaling, reddening,
    or, occasionally, blistering.
    Potential Chronic Health Effects:
    Very hazardous in case of skin contact (permeator). CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Not
    available. TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available. The substance is toxic to
    lungs, the nervous system, mucous membranes. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs
    damage.

    Section 4: First Aid Measures

    p. 1
    Eye Contact:
    Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids
    open. Cold water may be used. Do not use an eye ointment. Seek medical attention.
    Skin Contact:
    After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. Gently and thoroughly wash the contaminated skin with running
    water and non-abrasive soap. Be particularly careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and groin. Cover the irritated skin with an
    emollient. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing.
    Serious Skin Contact:
    Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek immediate medical
    attention.
    Inhalation: Allow the victim to rest in a well ventilated area. Seek immediate medical attention.
    Serious Inhalation:
    Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If
    breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Seek medical
    attention.
    Ingestion:
    Do not induce vomiting. Examine the lips and mouth to ascertain whether the tissues are damaged, a possible indication that
    the toxic material was ingested; the absence of such signs, however, is not conclusive. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar,
    tie, belt or waistband. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Seek immediate medical attention.
    Serious Ingestion: Not available.

    p. 2
    Section 7: Handling and Storage

    Precautions:
    Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Ground all equipment containing material. Do not ingest. Do not
    breathe gas/fumes/ vapour/spray. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment If ingested, seek
    medical advice immediately and show the container or the label. Avoid contact with skin and eyes
    Storage:
    Flammable materials should be stored in a separate safety storage cabinet or room. Keep away from heat. Keep away from
    sources of ignition. Keep container tightly closed. Keep in a cool, well-ventilated place. Ground all equipment containing
    material. A refrigerated room would be preferable for materials with a flash point lower than 37.8°C (100°F).

    Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

    Engineering Controls:
    Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors below their respective

    Splash goggles. Lab coat. Vapor respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent. Gloves.
    Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill:
    Splash goggles. Full suit. Vapor respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing apparatus should be used to avoid
    inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE handling this
    product.
