Health and safety

Flammability: Flammable. Keep away from sources of ignition including pilot lights and sparks.
Take precautionary measures against static discharge. Do not smoke. Keep containers tightly
closed when not in use. If used in an enclosed space, ensure thorough ventilation of the area
(using flame proof mechanical blowers) to avoid any accumulation of vapour until the product
has dried. In case of fire Please use dry powder, carbon dioxide, foam, sand or earth. Never use
water as this may spread the fire.
(Note: Electric motors, light/power switches and steel tools may generate sparks
sufficient to ignite such a material or the vapours given off, resulting in an explosion and/or fire.)
Skin Contact: Contains solvents which cause irritation of the skin and, in extreme circumstances,
dermatitis. Avoid contact by careful working and use of barrier cream or gloves. Remove skin
contamination with a proprietary hand cleaner following by washing
with soap and water.
Eye Contact: Could be harmful. Wear protective eye-shields, especially where there is a danger
of splashing. In the event of accidental contact, irrigate the eyes immediately with clean water
for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.

Cleaning of Tools
Clean immediately after use with water. Use kerosene or white spirit if the material has dried. During
work, place tools in water when not in use.
Oral Digestion: With proper handling oral digestion should not occur. The possibility can be minimised
by not consuming food in the working area and by washing hands thoroughly before eating, drinking
and smoking.
Spillage: Spilt material should be mopped up immediately with an inert absorbent material such as sand
and disposed of, in accordance with local regulations, by incineration or burial.
Disposal of Containers: Do not leave empty containers on site where any residue could be a hazard to
children or animals. Replace lids and remove all containers to a central disposal point.
