4. First aid measures.

Generally

In case of doubt seek medical advice.

Inhalation

Move the patient into fresh air and keep the patient under surveillance.

If the patient is unconscious and not breathing administer artificial respiration. If the patient is breathing, place them in the unconscious position and keep warm by wrapping. Send for a doctor or ambulance immediately.

Eyes

Flush immediately with water for at least 10 minutes. Keep the eye wide open. If necessary seek medical attention.

Skin

Remove contaminated clothing immediately and wash contaminated skin with soap and water. Skin cleanser may be used. Never use thinner or solvent as these degrease the skin.

Swallowing

Do not provoke vomiting. If vomiting occurs keep the patients' head low to prevent vomit from entering the lungs.

By accident: Contact a doctor or hospital - bring the label or this safety data sheet with the patient.

5. Fire fighting measures.

For firefighting use foam, carbon dioxide or chemical powder. Never use a water jet, this may spread the fire.

Fire will evolve dense, black smoke. Combustion products are hazardous and respiratory protection may be needed.

Cool exposed tanks or containers with water.

6. Accidental release measures.

Remove possible sources of ignition and provide good ventilation. Avoid inhalation of vapours. See item 7 and 8 for handling precautions and personal protection. Collect spillage with a non-combustible absorbent material eg. granulate, sand or earth and place in disposable waste containers according to national legislation (see item 13).Spillage must not be flushed into sewers or streams.

Preferably clean with a cleansing agent. Avoid use of solvents. If lakes, streams or the drainage systems have been contaminated inform the relevant authorities according to national legislation.

7. Handling and storage.

Handling

The vapours may form explosive mixtures with air. Prevent the formation of flammable/explosive mixtures and avoid vapour concentrations above the threshold limits. The vapours are heavier than air and may spread along the floor.The product must not be used close to open fires or other possible sources of ignition. Electrical installations must be protected according to regulations. The product may be electrostatically charged. Always use earthed equipment when transferring the product from one container to another. It is recommended to use conductive floors and that personnel use antistatic footwear and clothing. Non-spark producing tools are recommended.

Avoid contact with the skin. Avoid inhalation of vapours and spray mist. Do not eat, drink or smoke in working places. For personal protection, see item 8.Always use receptacles made of the same material as the original container.

Storage

Store according to national regulations for flammable liquids. Keep the product in closed containers, away from children, in a dry, well ventilated place and separated from foodstuffs according to national regulations.Keep the product away from sources of ignition, oxidizing substances and strong acidic or alkaline substances. Smoking in the vicinity is prohibited. Access by unauthorized persons should be prohibited. Opened containers should be carefully closed and kept in an upright position to avoid leakage.



8. Exposure controls/personal protection.

Technical precautions.

Arrange sufficient ventilation, if possible, by local exhaust ventilation and good general ventilation. If this is insufficient to keep the concentration of solvents and other volatile substances below the Threshold Limit Values, personal respiratory protection must be used. Spray-mist will contain all the ingredients of the product and must never be inhaled.

Threshold Limit Values

Personal protection - general

Respiratory protection

Hand protection

Eye protection

Skin protection

When the concentration of solvent and/or volatile substances is above the Threshold Limit Value, suitable respiratory equipment must be used.

Use protective cream or wear gloves. Never use water-soluble protective cream with plastic or rubber gloves.

Wear suitable goggles or face shield as a protection against splashes.

If necessary wear suitable protective clothing. Always wear protective clothing when spraying.

The Treshold Limit Values listed are in accordance with the Danish Working Environment Services list dated July 1994. L: the TLV is a ceiling value, H: may be absorbed via skin, * TLV is the recommendation of the supplier.

10. Stability and reactivity.

The product is stable at the recommended storage and handling conditions (see item 7). When exposed to high temperature harmful decomposition products may be formed, e.g. carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and smoke.Keep the product away from oxidizing agents and strongly alkaline and strongly acidic materials to prevent the possibility of exothermic reaction.

11. Toxicological information.

There is no data available for the product itself.Exposure to the solvent vapours in concentrations above the TLV's can cause damage to several organs included the nervous system. Symptoms include loss of memory and -concentration, abnormal fatigue, irritability and, in extreme cases, unconsciousness.Repeated or prolonged contact with the product may lead to removal of natural fats from the skin resulting in non allergic contact dermatitis and absorption through the skin. (See item 8).Accidental swallowing may cause stomach pain. Chemical lung inflammation may occur if the product is taken into the lungs via vomiting.



12. Ecological information.

There is no data available for the product. The product must not be drained into water courses or drainage system.

13. Disposal considerations.

080102Waste group and card:

Spillage, remains and non-cleaned cans should be regarded as chemical waste and be discarded in accordance with national legislation.
