NOTICE: Reports have associated repeated and prolonged OVEREXPOSURE to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system
damage. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents of this package may be harmful or fatal.
See toxicological information (section 11)
Section 4. First aid measures
Eye contact : Get medical attention immediately if symptoms occur. Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Check for and remove any contact
lenses.
Skin contact : Get medical attention immediately if symptoms occur. Flush contaminated skin with plenty of water.
Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. W ash
contaminated clothing thoroughly with water before removing or wear gloves. Wash clothing before
reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse.
Inhalation : Get medical attention immediately if symptoms occur. Move exposed person to fresh air. If it is
suspected that fumes are still present, the rescuer should wear an appropriate mask or self-contained
breathing apparatus. Keep person warm and at rest. If not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if
respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel. It may be
dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If unconscious, place in
recovery position and get medical attention immediately. Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing
such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.
Ingestion : Get medical attention immediately. W ash out mouth with water. Remove dentures if any. Move
exposed person to fresh air. Keep person warm and at rest. If material has been swallowed and the
exposed person is conscious, give small quantities of water to drink. Stop if the exposed person feels
sick as vomiting may be dangerous. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical
personnel. If vomiting occurs, the head should be kept low so that vomit does not enter the lungs.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If unconscious, place in recovery position and
get medical attention immediately. Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie,
belt or waistband.
Medical conditions : pulmonary conditions, skin disorders, liver conditions, kidney conditions, respiratory conditions,
aggravated by neurological disorders, cardiovascular diseases, anemia, reproductive system disorders,
overexposure
Section 5. Fire fighting measures
Flammability of the : Flammable.
product

Section 6. Accidental release measures
Spill and Leak : Immediately contact emergency personnel. Eliminate all ignition sources. Keep unnecessary personnel
away. Use suitable protective equipment. Do not touch or walk through spilled material.
If emergency personnel are unavailable, contain spilled material. For small spills, add absorbent (soil
may be used in the absence of other suitable materials) and use a non-sparking or explosion-proof
means to transfer material to a sealable, appropriate container for disposal. For large spills, dike spilled
material or otherwise contain material to ensure runoff does not reach a waterway. Place spilled
material in an appropriate container for disposal.
Dispose of according to Section 13. If necessary, report spill to applicable government agency.
Section 7. Handling and storage
Handling : Do not ingest. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Keep container closed. Use only with
adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. To avoid
fire or explosion, dissipate static electricity during transfer by grounding and bonding containers and
equipment before transferring material. Use explosion-proof electrical (ventilating, lighting and material
handling) equipment. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Use ventilation to remove decomposition products formed during welding or flame cutting of surfaces
coated with this product.
Storage : Store in an approved area. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep container tightly
closed and sealed until ready for use. Avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark or flame).
Other Precautions : All precautions must be observed. Empty container may retain product residues.
Section 8. Exposure controls, personal protection
Selection of personal protective equipment (PPE) is to be established by the employer performing a PPE hazard assessment. In the
U.S.A, OSHA requires completion of a documented PPE hazard assessment as described in 29 CFR 1910.132.
Engineering controls : Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors
below their respective occupational exposure limits. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers
are close to the workstation location.
Personal protection
Eyes : Safety glasses.
Body : Synthetic apron.
Respiratory : Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate.
Hands : Impervious gloves.
Barrier creams are not a replacement for full physical protection
Feet : Wear appropriate protection.
Protective clothing :
(pictograms)
HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Good personal hygiene practices are required at all times when handling chemicals. These practices
include, but are not limited to, washing when safety equipment is removed, at the end of each shift or when going on breaks and
especially if contamination occurs.
