3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

Risk of serious damage to eyes.

Harmful : may cause lung damage if swallowed. Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or
cracking.
Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
Contaminated surfaces may be slippery.

4. FIRST AID

EYE CONTACT ² Flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 10 minutes and seek
immediate medical attention.

SKIN CONTACT ² Flush with water, use soap if available. Contaminated clothing
should be washed before re-use.

INHALATION ² Inhalation of sufficient vapour to cause ill effects unlikely.

Remove to fresh air. Keep at rest. Call for medical attention if symptoms
occur.

INGESTION ² Do not induce vomiting. Seek prompt medical attention.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA ² Carbon dioxide, Foam, Dry chemical, Water fog or spray. Do not use
water jet.

SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING ² Evacuate immediate area. Shut off “fuel” to fire. If possible keep
PROCEDURES unaffected containers cool with water spray. Heated drums may
burst violently.

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION
PRODUCTS ² Smoke, soot, oxides of carbon on combustion. Burning vapour may
give off toxic fumes.

PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT ² Self contained breathing apparatus and suitable protective clothing
should be worn in fire fighting conditions.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

SPILL CLEAN UP METHODS ² Eliminate sources of ignition. Contain spilled liquid with sand or
earth. Mop up or absorb onto an inert absorbent. Large spills should
be pumped into containers pending disposal.

ENVIRONMENTAL
PRECAUTIONS ² Prevent liquid from entering drains sewers and watercourses. Notify
the Environment Agency or water authorities if a major spillage
occurs. Prevent chemical contaminating soil.

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS ² Wear suitable protective clothing to protect from splashes.

7. HANDLING & STORAGE

USAGE PRECAUTIONS
² Keep away from sources of ignition. Wear suitable protective
clothing such as chemical resistant gloves, apron & goggles / face
mask to protect from splashes. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes.
Do not breathe product spray or mist. Ensure adequate ventilation
when in use.

STORAGE PRECAUTIONS ² Store in a cool dry area away from heat and sources of ignition.
Recommended storage temperature ² 10°C to 30°C.
Keep containers out of direct sunlight. Keep containers closed when
not in use. Rotate stock and check regularly for leakers.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

WORKPLACE EXPOSURE

Concentrations of product mists and sprays in the working atmosphere must be kept as low as is
reasonably practicable. Exposure should be minimised by the use of appropriate containment,
engineering control and ventilation measures. Where this is not possible, personal protective
equipment should be worn as indicated below where appropriate.

Respiratory protection ² Use a respirator with appropriate canister type filter cartridge if
spraying in confined or unventilated area’s.

Hand protection ² Use chemical resistant gloves recommended by glove manufacturer

as being suitable for kerosenes, if hand exposure is unavoidable.
Marigold blue nitrile, Long Nitrosolve or Green Supersolve
(Breakthrough time 480 minutes, permeation rate 96 mg m2 after
breakthrough, degradation level 2) are suitable, although other types
may be more suitable in other circumstances.

Eye protection ² Wear goggles/face mask to protect eyes from splashes.

Skin protection ² Wear chemical resistant overalls if skin contact is likely.
