Revision date 09-08-08

Eye contact : Irrigate copiously with clean, fresh water for at least 10 minutes, holding the
eyelids apart. Remove contact lenses. Seek medical advice.
Skin contact : Take off all contaminated clothing immediately. Wash skin thoroughly with
soap and water or use recognized skin cleanser. Do NOT use solvents or
thinners.
Inhalation : Remove to fresh air. Keep patient warm and at rest. If breathing is irregular
or stopped, administer artificial respiration. If unconscious place in recovery
position and seek medical advice.
Ingestion : If accidently swallowed obtain immediate medical attention. Keep at rest. Do
NOT induce vomiting.
Burns : If spills on clothing catch fire, wash with plenty of water. Remove loose
clothing. Do not remove clothing that has melted to the skin.Obtain medical
attention.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

Specific hazards during fire : As the product contains combustible organic components, fire will produce
fighting dense black smoke containing hazardous products of combustion (see section
10). Exposure to decomposition products may be a hazard to health. Cool
closed containers exposed to fire with water spray. Do not allow run-off from
fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.
Special protective equipment : In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
for fire-fighters
Suitable extinguishing media : Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
Keep containers and surroundings cool with water spray.
Extinguishing media which : Do NOT use water jet.
shall not be used for safety
reasons

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions : Use personal protective equipment. Ventilate the area. Refer to protective
measures listed in sections 7 and 8. Wear respiratory protection. Beware of
vapours accumulating to form explosive concentrations. Vapours can
accumulate in low areas. Remove all sources of ignition.
Environmental precautions : Try to prevent the material from entering drains or water ways. If the product
contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.
Methods for cleaning up : Clean with detergents. Avoid solvents. Contain and collect spillage with non-
combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth,
vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according to local / national
regulations (see section 13).
Additional advice : Refer to section 15 for specific national regulation.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling
Safe handling advice : Avoid exceeding of the given occupational exposure limits (see section 8).
Use only in area provided with appropriate exhaust ventilation. Avoid contact
with skin, eyes and clothing. Smoking, eating and drinking should be
prohibited in the application area. Avoid inhalation of vapour or mist. For
personal protection see section 8.

MSDS EU 01 / EN Version 2 Print Date 9/13/2008
Revision date 09-08-08

Advice on protection against : Prevent the creation of flammable or explosive concentrations of vapour in
fire and explosion air and avoid vapour concentration higher than the occupational exposure
limits. When transferring from one container to another apply earthing
measures and use conductive hose material. No sparking tools should be
used. Operators should wear anti-static footwear and clothing and floors
should be of the conducting type. Isolate from sources of heat, sparks and
open flame. Take necessary action to avoid static electricity discharge (which
might cause ignition of organic vapours). The product should only be used in
areas from which all naked lights and other sources of ignition have been
excluded. No smoking. The accumulation of contaminated rags and dry
overspray, particularly in spray booth filters, may result in spontaneous
combustion. Good housekeeping standards, regular safe removal of waste
materials and regular maintenance of spray booth filters will minimise the
risks of spontaneous combustion and other fire hazards.
Storage
Requirements for storage areas : Observe label precautions. Prevent unauthorized access. Containers which
and containers are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.
Store between 5 and 30°C (41 - 86 F) in a dry, well ventilated place away
from sources of heat, ignition and direct sunlight. Solvent vapours are heavier
than air and may spread along floors. Vapours may form explosive mixtures
with air. Electrical installations / working materials must comply with the
technological safety standards. Keep away from sources of ignition - No
smoking. Store in accordance with the particular national regulations (see
section 15).
Advice on common storage : Keep away from oxidising agents and strongly acid or alkaline materials.

General advice

Respiratory protection : When operators, whether spraying or not, have to work inside the spray
booth, ventilation is unlikly to be sufficient to control particulates and solvent
vapour in all cases. In such circumstances they should wear a compressed air-
fed respirator during the spraying process and until such time as the
particulates and solvent vapour concentration has fallen below the exposure
limits.

Hand protection : For prolonged or repeated contact use protective gloves.

Barrier creams may help to protect the exposed areas of skin, they should
however not be applied once exposure has occurred.
Skin should be washed after contact.
Use chemical resistant gloves classified under Standard EN 374: Protective
gloves against chemicals and micro-organisms.

Recommended gloves: Nitrile rubber

Minimum breakthrough time: 480 min

The recommended gloves are based on most common solvent in this product.

When prolonged or frequently repeated contact may occur, a glove with a

protection class of 6 (breakthrough time greater than 480 minutes according
to EN 374) is recommended. When only brief contact is expected, a glove
with a protection class of 2 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 30
minutes according to EN 374) is recommended.
NOTICE: The selection of a specific glove for a particular application and
duration of use in a workplace should also take into account all relevant
workplace factors such as, but not limited to: Other chemicals which may be
handled,physicalrequirements (cut/puncture protection, dexterity, thermal
protection), potential body reactions to glovematerials, as wellas the
instructions/specifications provided by the glove supplier.

Eye protection : Chemical resistant goggles must be worn.

Skin and body protection : Personnel should wear protective clothing. Skin should be washed after
contact. Working clothes must not consist of textiles, which show a
dangerous melting behaviour in case of fire. Workers should wear antistatic
footwear.
Additional advice

Environmental protection : Refer to national regulations in chapter 15 for regulations on environmental

protection.

Personal protection
Protective equipment : Eye protection, safety gloves and combi mask P1A1
