4. FIRST AID MEASURES
General
- If medical attention is required present a copy of this datasheet to the physician.
Remove all contaminated clothing. The person must rest and be kept under medical
observation even if there are no immediate signs of symptoms. Define a first aid plan
of action prior to commencing work with this product. Consult the occupational
physician.
Inhalation
- Remove affected person to fresh air and keep at rest. Do not leave affected person
unattended. If breathing is diffcult, give oxygen if possible or assisted ventilation. If
unconcious, place in recovery position.
Skin Contact
- Flood skin with large quantites of soap and water whilst removing contaminated clothing.
Wash for at least 15 minutes. The product may remain trapped under clothing, footwear or
a wrist watch.
Eye Contact
- Remove contact lenses. Immediately wash eyes with plenty of water while lifting the
eye lids. Continue to rinse for at least 15 minutes. If there are signs of irritation or other

or alcoholic beverages. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Keep
person warm and at rest.
Seek medical attention immediately
Common Symptoms and effects both acute and delayed
Inhalation
- No known acute for chronic symptoms.
Ingestion
- Symptoms may include nausea and vomiting.
Skin Contact
- No known acute for chronic symptoms.
Eye Contact
- Symptoms may include irritation or pain, lacrimation and redness of the eye tissue.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire Hazards
- In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase may burst containers. The vapour/gas
is heavier than air and will spread along the ground.
Extinguishing Media
- If a large fire, use water spray, water fog or foam. do not use water as a jet.
If a small fire, use Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical, Powder, Dry sand or Foam.
Combustion Products
- During fire, oxides of Carbon and smoke are formed.
Protective Equipment
- Self contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn
in case of fire.
Environmental
- Keep run off water out of sewers and water sources. Dike for water control.
Procedures
- Stay upwind, evacuate personnel, use suitable extinguishers. Use water spray
to control vapours. If risk of water pollution occurs, notify appropriate authorities.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal
- Use protective gloves, goggles and suitable protective clothing.
Environmental
- Do not allow to enter into surface water or sewer system.
Methods of Clean Up
- Ventilate well, stop flow of gas or liquid if possible. Remove ignition sources.
Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth and place in containers. Dispose of in
accordance with local legislation.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
- Good industrial practice in housekeeping and personal hygiene should be followed. When
using do not eat, drink or smoke. Wear suitable gloves and eye/face protection. (See 8).
Equipment or utensils used for dispensing the chemical must be suitable for the purpose.
Wash out after use. Wash thoroughly after handling the material. Remove contaminated
clothing and wash before re-use. Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid ingestion/inhalation.
Emergency eye wash stations and showers should be made available.
Storage
- Store in a dry ventilated area. Reseal open packages to prevent spillage. Keep containers
tightly closed. Keep away from oxidising substances.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Adequate ventilation should be provided such that Derived No Effect Limits are not exceeded. Local Exhaust
Ventilation is preferable to personal protection. Gloves made out of Butyl Rubber at least 0.5mm thick, goggles,
protective overalls, a chemical respirator and chemically resistant safety shoes should also be worn.
Provide eyewash stations. Wear appropriate clothing to prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact. There
are no DNELs or PNECs available for the only hazardous component in Hi-Grip.
Hygiene Measures
Wash hands at the end of each work shift and before eating, smoking and using the toilet. Wash promptly if
skin becomes wet. Remove any clothing that becomes wet or contaminated.
