Causes skin irritation Causes serious eye irritation May cause respiratory irritation

Prevention

Wash face, hands and any exposed skin thoroughly after handling Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area Avoid sparks, welding and cutting on or near drums, even if empty An improperly designed or maintained heat transfer system may permit the release of fluid, or air/moisture leakage into the system. This leakage could lower the fluid’s flashpoint and/or produce light ends. System leaks that result in saturated insulation may, when heated over time, create a combustible mixture when suddenly exposed to air. Leakage of fluid from the system at operating temperature and pressure may cause fluid to disperse as an aerosol, which may result in flammable concentrations of vapor in the air. Thermal degradation or other decomposition of the fluid can occur in an improperly maintained heat transfer system, and also for other reasons, including operating the system above the fluid’s recommended operating temperature and failure to maintain proper fluid velocity. Degradation or decomposition of the fluid may also create “low boiler” hydrocarbon compounds or light ends. The occurrence of any of the foregoing conditions may lead to an increased risk of explosion and/or fire

Response

IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing Immediately call a poison center or doctor/physician IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water Take off contaminated clothing and wash it before reuse If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing Call a poison center or doctor/physician if you feel unwell
