Concentration Oxirane-methyloxirane polymer 9003-11-6 Not classified 5.0% Water 7732-18-5 Not classified 45.7% 4.1 Description of first aid measures General advice: Show this SDS to the doctor in attendance. First responder needs to protect himself. Place affected apparel in a sealed bag for subsequent decontamination. Inhalation: Provide fresh air, warmth and rest, preferably in a comfortable upright sitting position. If person has stopped breathing, administer artificial respiration. If cough or other symptoms persist, call doctor/poison center immediately. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues. Skin contact: Immediately remove contaminated clothing. Rinse immediately with plenty of water. Continue rinsing for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation persists after washing. Prolonged or repeated contact may cause an allergic skin reaction. Eye contact: Remove victim immediately from source of exposure. Immediately flush with plenty of water for up to 15 minutes. Remove any contact lenses and open eyes wide apart. Get medical attention promptly if symptoms occur after washing. Ingestion: Rinse mouth thoroughly. Never give liquid to an unconscious person. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, the head should be kept low so that vomit does not enter the lungs. Get medical attention. 4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed. Symptoms after inhalation: No specific symptoms noted. Irritation of nose, throat and airway. Symptoms after ingestion: No specific symptoms noted. May cause discomfort if swallowed. May cause stomach pain or vomiting. Symptoms after eye contact: Irritation of eyes and mucous membranes. Profuse watering of the eyes. Symptoms after skin contact: No specific symptoms noted. Prolonged skin contact may cause redness and irritation. 4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed Note to physician: All treatments should be based on observed signs and symptoms of distress to the patient. Consideration should be given to the possibility that overexposure to materials other than this product may have occurred. Treat symptomatically. There is no specific antidote available. 5.1 Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing media: Dry chemical, CO2, foam, water spray. Unsuitable extinguishing media: High power water jet. 5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture Specific hazards during firefighting: Under fire conditions, will burn. Hazardous decomposition products: Carbon oxides and other hazardous compounds. 5.3 Advice for firefighters Special protective equipment: Firefighters should wear approved self- contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Further information: Standard procedure for chemical fires. Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This must not be discharged into drains. Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. 6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures. Contain material by diking the area around the spill. Soak up using a suitable inert absorbent material, then shovel into recovery drums. 6.2 Environmental precautions Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. Take all necessary measures to avoid accidental discharge of products into drains and waterways due to the rupture of containers or transfer systems. Spills should be reported to local agencies. 6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleanup Methods of containment: Stop leak if safe to do so. Dam up with sand or inert earth (do not use combustible materials). Recovery: Soak up with inert absorbent materials. 6 Shovel or sweep up. Keep in suitable, closed container for disposal. Never return spills to original containers for re-use. Decontamination/cleaning: Clean contaminated surface thoroughly. Wash non-recoverable remainder with large amounts of water. Recover the cleaning water for subsequent disposal. Decontaminate tools, equipment and personal protective equipment in a segregated area. Disposal: Dispose of in accordance with local regulations. 6.4 Reference to other sections See Section VII for Handling and Storage. 7.1 Precautions for safe handling of the substance/mixture.
