Section 4. First aid measures

4.1 Description of necessary first aid measures
Eye contact : Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower
eyelids. Check for and remove any contact lenses. Continue to rinse for at least 10
minutes. Get medical attention if irritation occurs.
Inhalation : Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If
not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial
respiration or oxygen by trained personnel. It may be dangerous to the person providing
aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Get medical attention if adverse health effects
persist or are severe. If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical
attention immediately. Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar,
tie, belt or waistband.
Skin contact : Wash contaminated skin with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and
shoes. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Wash clothing before reuse. Clean
shoes thoroughly before reuse.
Ingestion : Wash out mouth with water. Remove dentures if any. Remove victim to fresh air and
keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If material has been swallowed and
the exposed person is conscious, give small quantities of water to drink. Stop if the
exposed person feels sick as vomiting may be dangerous. Do not induce vomiting
unless directed to do so by medical personnel. If vomiting occurs, the head should be
kept low so that vomit does not enter the lungs. Get medical attention if adverse health
effects persist or are severe. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately.
Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.

Section 6. Accidental release measures

6.2 Environmental : Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains
precautions and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental
pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air).

6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up

Methods for cleaning up : Move containers from spill area. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment.
Vacuum or sweep up material and place in a designated, labeled waste container.
Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.

Section 7. Handling and storage

7.1 Precautions for safe handling
Protective measures : Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Do not ingest. Avoid
contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing dust. Avoid the creation of dust
when handling and avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark or flame). Prevent dust
accumulation. 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. Electrical
equipment and lighting should be protected to appropriate standards to prevent dust
coming into contact with hot surfaces, sparks or other ignition sources. Take
precautionary measures against electrostatic discharges. To avoid fire or explosion,
dissipate static electricity during transfer by grounding and bonding containers and
equipment before transferring material. Empty containers retain product residue and
can be hazardous. Do not reuse container.
Advice on general : Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is
occupational hygiene handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating,
drinking and smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before
entering eating areas. See also Section 8 for additional information on hygiene
measures.

7.2 Conditions for safe : Storage temperature: 25°C (77°F). Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in
storage, including any a segregated and approved area. Store in original container protected from direct
incompatibilities sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see
Section 10) and food and drink. Eliminate all ignition sources. Separate from oxidizing
materials. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Containers that
have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do
not store in unlabeled containers. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental
contamination.

8.2 Exposure controls

Date of issue : 01/29/2016 4/10

Gas filter - Hydrocarbon

Section 8. Exposure controls/personal protection

Appropriate engineering : Use only with adequate ventilation. If user operations generate dust, fumes, gas, vapor
controls or mist, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls
to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutory
limits. The engineering controls also need to keep gas, vapor or dust concentrations
below any lower explosive limits. Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment.
Environmental exposure : Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure
controls they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some
cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment
will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.

Individual protection measures

Hygiene measures : Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before
eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period.
Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing.
Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety
showers are close to the workstation location.
Eye/face protection : Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk
assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists,
gases or dusts. If contact is possible, the following protection should be worn, unless
the assessment indicates a higher degree of protection: safety glasses with side-
shields. If operating conditions cause high dust concentrations to be produced, use
dust goggles.
Skin protection
Hand protection : Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be
worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is
necessary. Considering the parameters specified by the glove manufacturer, check
during use that the gloves are still retaining their protective properties. It should be
noted that the time to breakthrough for any glove material may be different for different
glove manufacturers. In the case of mixtures, consisting of several substances, the
protection time of the gloves cannot be accurately estimated.
Body protection : Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task being
performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before
handling this product.
Other skin protection : Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection measures should be selected
based on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a
specialist before handling this product.
Respiratory protection : Based on the hazard and potential for exposure, select a respirator that meets the
appropriate standard or certification. Respirators must be used according to a
respiratory protection program to ensure proper fitting, training, and other important
aspects of use.
