Precautionary statements

: Obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, open flames, sparks. - No smoking. Keep container tightly closed. Ground/Bond container and receiving equipment. Use explosion-proof electrical, lighting, ventilating equipment. Use only non-sparking tools. Take precautionary measures against static discharge. Do not breathe vapors, spray, mist. Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Avoid release to the environment. Wear eye protection, flame retardant protective clothing, impermeable protective gloves. Specific treatment (see Section 4.1 of SDS or information on this label). If swallowed: Immediately call doctor, poison center. Do NOT induce vomiting. If on skin: Wash with plenty of water. If on skin (or hair): Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/shower. If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention.

Store locked up. Dispose of contents and container in accordance with all local, regional, national and international regulations.

Other hazards which do not result in classification

: HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION CAN OCCUR. Spontaneous polymerization will be accompanied by evolution of heat, which may cause release of styrene vapors forming flammable mixtures with air and a potential fire or explosion. Closed containers may rupture/explode during runaway polymerization Product can accumulate electrostatic charges that may cause fire by electrical discharges.
