4. First-aid measures
First-aid measures
General : In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person.
Inhalation : Remove to fresh air. Keep person warm and at rest. If not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if
respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel. Give nothing by
mouth. If unconscious, place in recovery position and seek medical advice.
Skin contact : Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water or use
recognised skin cleanser. Do not use solvents or thinners.
Eye contact : Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 15
minutes, keeping eyelids open.
Ingestion : If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or label. Keep person warm
and at rest. Do not induce vomiting.
5. Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media : Recommended: alcohol-resistant foam, CO2, powders, water spray or mist.
Not to be used : water jet.
Recommendations : Fire will produce dense black smoke. Exposure to decomposition products may cause a health
hazard. Appropriate breathing apparatus may be required. Cool closed containers exposed to fire
with water. Do not release runoff from fire to sewers or waterways.
Note: see section 8 for personal protective equipment and section 13 for waste disposal.
Examination of lung function should be carried out on a regular basis on persons spraying this preparation.
Handling : Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Vapours may form explosive mixtures
with air. Prevent the creation of flammable or explosive concentrations of vapours in air and avoid
vapour concentrations higher than the occupational exposure limits.
In addition, the product should only be used in areas from which all naked lights and other sources of
ignition have been excluded. Electrical equipment should be protected to the appropriate standard.
To dissipate static electricity during transfer, earth drum and connect to receiving container with
bonding strap. Operators should wear antistatic footwear and clothing and floors should be of the
conducting type.
Keep container tightly closed. Precautions should be taken to minimise exposure to atmospheric
humidity or water. CO2 will be formed, which, in closed containers, could result in pressurisation.
Care should be taken when re-opening partly-used containers. Keep away from heat, sparks and
flame. No sparking tools should be used.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid the inhalation of dust, particulates, spray or mist arising from
the application of this preparation. Avoid inhalation of dust from sanding.
Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in area where this material is handled, stored and
processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking.
Never use pressure to empty. Container is not a pressure vessel. Always keep in containers made
from the same material as the original one.
When operators, whether spraying or not, have to work inside the spray booth, ventilation is unlikely
to be sufficient to control particulates and solvent vapour in all cases. In such circumstances they
should wear a compressed air-fed respirator during the spraying process and until such time as the
particulates and solvent vapour concentration has fallen below the exposure limits.
Storage : Store in accordance with local regulations. Observe label precautions. Store in a cool, well-ventilated
area away from incompatible materials and ignition sources. Keep away from heat and direct
sunlight.
Keep away from: oxidising agents, strong alkalis, strong acids, amines, alcohols, water.
No smoking. Prevent unauthorised access. Containers that have been opened must be carefully
resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.
Do not empty into drains..
Examination of lung function should be carried out on a regular basis on persons spraying this preparation.
Engineering measures : Provide adequate ventilation. Where reasonably practicable, this should be achieved by the use of
local exhaust ventilation and good general extraction. Air-fed protective respiratory equipment must
be worn by the spray operator, even when good ventilation is provided. In other operations, if local
exhaust ventilation and good general extraction are not sufficient to maintain concentrations of
particulates and solvent vapours below the OEL, suitable respiratory protection must be worn. (See
Personal protection.)

Personal protective equipment
Respiratory system : Self-contained respiratory equipment must be worn by spray operator, even when good ventilation
is provided. By other operations than spraying, in well ventilated areas, air-fed respirators could be
replaced by a combination charcoal filter and particulate filter mask.
Skin and body : Personnel should wear antistatic clothing made of natural fibres or of high-temperature-resistant
synthetic fibres.
Hands : For prolonged or repeated handling, use gloves: polyvinyl alcohol or nitrile.
Barrier creams may help to protect the exposed areas of the skin but should not be applied once
exposure has occurred.
For right choice of glove materials, with focus on chemical resistance and time of penetration, seek
advice by the supplier of chemical resistant gloves.
Eyes : Use safety eyewear designed to protect against splash of liquids.
Hazardous decomposition products: smoke, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, hydrogen cyanide.
Keep away from the following materials to prevent strong exothermic reactions: oxidising agents, strong alkalis, strong acids, amines,
alcohols, water.
The product reacts slowly with water, resulting in the production of carbon dioxide. In closed containers, pressure build-up could result
in distortion, expansion and, in extreme cases, bursting of the container.
The preparation has been assessed following the conventional method of the Dangerous Preparations Directive 1999/45/EC and is
classified for eco-toxicological properties accordingly. See Sections 2 and 15 for details.
