Skin Contact
- Prolonged contact may cause irritation, redness, dry skin and dermatitis.
Eye Contact
- Symptoms may include irritation or pain, lacrimation and redness of the eye tissue.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire Hazards
- Liquid and vapours are flammable. In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase may
burst containers. Vapours are heavier than air and will spread along the ground.
Extinguishing Media
- Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical, Powder or Water fog. Do not use water in a jet.
Combustion Products
- During fire, oxides of Carbon 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. Move container
from fire area if it can be done without risk. Withdraw immediately in case of
rising sound from venting safety device or any discoloration of tanks occur due
to fire. Use water spray to control vapours. If risk of water pollution occurs, notify
appropriate authorities.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal
- Use protective gloves, goggles, respirator and suitable protective clothing. Avoid
contact with skin and eyes. Do not smoke, use open fire or other sources of
ignition. Restrict access to authorised personnel. Stay upwind.
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
- Avoid creating dusty conditions and prevent wind dispersal. 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

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 station and safety shower. Wear appropriate clothing to prevent repeated or prolonged skin
contact.
