IV FIRST AID MEASURES INGESTION: If swallowed, drink copious amounts of water to dilute. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by doctor or physician. Seek medical advice/attention. If spontaneous vomiting occurs, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration of liquid into the lung. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash with soap and plenty of water for 15 minutes. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. If irritation occurs get medical advice. INHALATION: Move individual away from exposure and into fresh air. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration. In case of shortness of breath, give oxygen. Call a physician if you feel unwell. EYE CONTACT: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses if easy to do. Continue rinsing. If irritation persists get medical attention/advice. Most Important Symptoms and Effects, Acute and Delayed INGESTION: Symptoms may include diarrhea, gastric pain, and vomiting. SKIN CONTACT:Symptoms may include redness, dryness and cracking of skin. INHALATION: Symptoms may include irritation of respiratory tract EYE CONTACT: Symptoms may include stinging, tearing, redness and blurred vision. Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary. Treat Symptomatically. PAGE 3 OF 8 V FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Suitable extinguishing media: Use methods suitable for surrounding fire Unsuitable extinguishing media- Not flammable. Specific hazards arising from the chemical: No further relevant information available. Hazardous thermal decomposition products: carbon monoxide and CO2 Special protective actions for fire-fighters: Keep product containers and surrounding areas cool with water spray. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: Fire fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode. VI ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: For non-emergency personnel: No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment. For emergency responders: If specialized clothing is required to deal with the spillage, take note of information in section 8 for further information. See also information in non-emergency personnel above. Environmental precautions: Avoid dispersal of spilled material with waterways, drains and sewers. See section 12 for additional ecological information. Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up. Small spill: Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from the spill area. Absorb with an inert dry material such as diatomaceous earth or vermiculite and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Mop any remaining residues with soap and water and dispose of wastes via a licensed waste disposal contractor according to federal, state and local regulations. Large spill: Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Prevent entry into sewers, drains, water courses and confined areas. Wash spillages into an effluent treatment plant or absorb with an inert dry material such as diatomaceous earth or vermiculite and place in a appropriate waste disposal containers. Mop any remaining residues with soap and water and dispose of wastes via a licensed waste disposal contractor according to federal, state and local regulations. PAGE 4 OF 8 VII HANDLING AND STORAGE Precautions for Safe Handling: Safe Handling Advice: Utilize appropriate personal protective equipment when handling product. Do not swallow. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing vapor or mists. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Do not enter storage areas and confined spaces unless adequately ventilated. Keep tightly closed when not in use. Wash face, hands and any exposed skin thoroughly after handling. Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection and face protection during use. Advice on general occupational hygiene: Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas. See also section 8 for additional hygiene information. Conditions for safe storage including any incompatibilities: Store in a dry, well ventilated area away from strong oxidizing agents (see section 10) and food and drink. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Keep away from children. VIII EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Control Parameters Occupational Exposure Limits Ingredient Identity ACGIH TLV OSHA PEL NIOSH IDLH 2-butoxyethanol TWA 20ppm TWA 50ppm IDLH 700ppm 111-76-2 TWA 240mg/m3 Silicic acid, disodium salt Not established; however, an exposure limit of 2mg/m3 (15minTWA) is 6834-92-0 recommended. Appropriate Engineering Controls Engineering Controls: Use with adequate ventilation. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants and maintain air concentrations below occupational exposure standards. Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment. (PPE) Eye/Face Protection: Wear approved tightly sealed safety goggles Skin & Body Protection: Wear chemical resistant, impervious gloves at all times when handling chemical products. Check during use that gloves are still retaining their impervious properties, as the time for breakthrough can change from different manufacturers and chemical mixtures cannot always be accurately measured. Appropriate footwear and suitable protective clothing should be worn for the degree and risk of exposure. Respiratory Protection: If workplace exposure limits of product or any component is exceeded, utilize proper respiratory protection program guidelines (see OSHA 1910.134 and American National Standard ANSI Z88.2) Use a properly fitted,NIOSH/MSHA air-purifying or air-fed respirator in compliance with the above mentioned standard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. 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.
