4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
In all cases of doubt, or where symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air, keep patient warm and at rest. If breathing is irregular or stopped administer artificial
respiration. Give nothing by mouth. If unconscious place in the recovery position. Seek medical advice.
EYE CONTACT: Remove contact lenses. Irrigate copiously with clean, fresh water for at least 10 minutes, holding lids
apart. Seek medical advice.
SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated clothing, wash skin thoroughly with soap and water, or use a proprietary skin
cleanser. Do not use solvents or thinners. Seek medical advice if symptoms persist.
INGESTION: If accidentally swallowed, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Keep at rest and obtain medical attention.
5. FIRE-FIGHTINGMEASURES
Extinguishing media: Recommended - alcohol resistant foam, CO2, powders.
Not to be used - waterjet.
Recommendations : Fire will produce dense black smoke. Exposure to decomposition products may cause a health hazard.
Fire fighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Closed containers exposed to fire should be cooled with water. Do not allow run-off from fire-fighting to enter drains or
water-courses.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASEMEASURES
Exclude non-essential personnel.
Exclude sources of ignition and ventilate the area. Avoid breathing vapours. Refer to protective measures listed in section 8.
Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible absorbent materials, eg sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth,
and place in container for disposal according to local regulations (see section 13).
Do not allow to enter drains or watercourses. Clean preferably with a detergent; avoid use of solvents. If the product enters
drains or sewers, immediately contact the local water company; in the case of contamination of streams, rivers or
lakes, the relevant environment agency.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING CONDITIONS: Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. They may form explosive mixtures
with air. Prevent the creation of flammable or explosive concentrations of vapour 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 by the appropriate standard. Keep the container tightly closed. Exclude
sources of heat, sparks and open flame.
Non-sparking tools should be used. Avoid skin and eye contact. Avoid the inhalation of vapour and mist. Smoking, eating
and drinking should be prohibited in storage and use areas. For personal protective equipment see Section 8.
Always keep in containers made of the same material as the supply container, or in containers that are compatible with the
product. The accumulation of contaminated rags may result in spontaneous combustion. Good housekeeping standards and
regular safe removal of waste materials will minimise the risks of spontaneous combustion and other fire hazards.
STORAGE CONDITIONS: Observe the label precautions. Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated place away from sources of
heat, ignition and direct sunlight. No smoking. Prevent unauthorised access. Containers which are opened should be properly
resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not use or store any paint container by hanging on a hook.
The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1993 may apply to the handling of certain Paint Products. Products packed in
containers of 5 litres and above will be marked with a guide weight; refer to these weights when carrying out an assessment.
For flash points between 21 and 32 degrees Celsius store in accordance with the Highly Flammable Liquids and Liquefied
Petroleum Gas Regulations 1972.
The principles contained in the HSE guidance note Storage of Packaged Dangerous Substances, should be observed when
storing this product.
Store separately from oxidising agents, strongly alkaline and strongly acidic materials, amines, alcohols and water.

Further guidance on WELs and OELs, and on occupational exposure to harmful materials (including mixed exposures) is
given in HSE Guidance Note EH40.
EXPOSURE CONTROLS
Before commencing work, ensure that a COSHH Assessment has been carried out. All personal protective equipment,
including respiratory protective equipment, used to control exposure to hazardous substances must be selected to meet the
requirements of local regulations.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Avoid the inhalation of vapour, particulates and spray mist. Where reasonably practicable,
this should be achieved by the use of local exhaust ventilation and good general ventilation. If this is not sufficient to
maintain concentrations of particulates and solvent vapour below the occupational exposure limit, respiratory protection
must be worn.
The selection of respiratory equipment should be in accordance with BS 4275. Recommendations for the selection, use and
maintenance of Respiratory Equipment, and the current certificates of approval are issued annually by the Health and Safety
Executive.
HAND PROTECTION: Wear suitable gloves for protection against materials in section 3.
When skin exposure may occur, advice should be sought from glove suppliers on appropriate types and usage times for this
product. The instructions and information provided by the glove supplier on use, storage, maintenance and replacement must
be followed.
EYE PROTECTION: Eye protection designed to protect against liquid splashes should be worn.
SKIN PROTECTION: Cotton or cotton/synthetic overalls or coveralls are normally suitable. Grossly contaminated clothing
should be removed and the skin washed with soap and water or a proprietary skin cleaner.

10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Extremes of temperature.
To prevent the creation of flammable concentrations of vapour in air, good natural ventilation, and if necessary, local
exhaust ventilation, should be provided. The accumulation of dry overspray, contaminated rags, etc may result in
spontaneous combustion. Good housekeeping standards plus the regular and safe removal of waste materials will minimise
the risk.
MATERIALS TO AVOID: Keep away from oxidising agents, strongly alkaline and strongly acidic materials in order to
avoid exothermic reactions.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: When exposed to high temperatures may produce hazardous
decomposition products such as carbon monoxide and dioxide, smoke and oxides of nitrogen.
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
There is no data available on the product itself. The product has been assessed following the conventional method in the
CHIP Regulations and is classified for toxicological hazards accordingly. This takes into account, where known, delayed and
immediate effects and also chronic effects of components from short-term and long-term exposure by oral, inhalation and
dermal routes of exposure and eye contact. See Sections 2 and 15 for details of the resulting hazard classification.
Over-exposures of vapour are irritating to eyes and respiratory system. Excessive concentrations may produce effects on the
central nervous system including drowsiness. In extreme cases loss of consciousness may result. Long term exposure to
vapour concentrations in excess of quoted OELs may result in adverse health effects. Splashes entering the eye will cause
discomfort and possible damage. Prolonged contact with the skin may have a defatting effect which may lead to skin
irritation and in some cases dermatitis.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
There is no specific data available on the product itself.
The product should not be allowed to enter drains or watercourses or be deposited where it can affect ground or surface
waters.
The Air Pollution Control requirements of regulations made under the Environmental Protection Act may apply to the use of
this product.
Products classified as Marine Pollutants are indicated as such under Transport (section 14).
Products classified as Dangerous For the Environment are indicated as such in sections 2 and 15.
Any substances in the product that are classified as Dangerous for the Environment, present at concentrations above those
requiring listing are given in section 3.
