SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES If inhaled : Move to fresh air. Artificial respiration and/or oxygen may be necessary. Seek medical advice. In case of skin contact : In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water or use recognized skin cleanser. Wash clothing before reuse. Seek medical advice. In case of eye contact : Remove contact lenses. Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention. If swallowed : Rinse mouth with water. DO NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by a physi- cian or poison control center. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek medical advice. Most important symptoms : Harmful if inhaled. and effects, both acute and Respiratory, skin and eye irritation; nausea; cancer. delayed Notes to physician : Treat symptomatically.

Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in the ap- plication area. Use only with adequate ventilation. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Avoid spark promoters. Ground/bond container and equip- ment. These alone may be insufficient to remove static elec- tricity. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Do not ingest. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Keep container closed when not in use. Conditions for safe storage : Store in original container. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Keep in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep in properly labelled containers. To maintain product quality, do not store in heat or direct sun- light. Ensure the storage containers are grounded/bonded. SECTION 8.

Use only in well-ventilated areas. Ensure that eyewash station and safety shower are proximal to the work-station location. Personal protective equipment Respiratory protection : Concentration in air determines protection needed. Use respiratory protection unless adequate local exhaust ventilation is provided or exposure assessment demonstrates that exposures are within recommended exposure guidelines. Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe working limits of the selected respirator. Filter type : organic vapour cartridge or canister may be permissible un- der certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits. Protection provided by air-purifying respirators is limited. Use a positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator if there is any potential for uncontrolled release, exposure levels are unknown, or any other circum- stances where air-purifying respirators may not provide ade- quate protection. Hand protection Material : neoprene, nitrile, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), Viton(R). Consult your PPE provider for breakthrough times and the specific glove that is best for you based on your use patterns. It should be realized that eventually any material regardless of their imperviousness, will get permeated by chemicals. Therefore, protective gloves should be regularly checked for wear and tear. At the first signs of hardening and cracks, they should be changed. Remarks : Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is nec- essary. Eye protection : Wear face-shield and protective suit for abnormal processing problems. Skin and body protection : Choose body protection in relation to its type, to the concen- tration and amount of dangerous substances, and to the spe- cific work-place. Protective measures : Wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Hygiene measures : Remove and wash contaminated clothing and gloves, includ- ing the inside, before re-use. Wash face, hands and any exposed skin thoroughly after handling. SECTION 9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Appearance : Bright oily liquid.
