Prevention

Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area • Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray • Avoid release to the environment • Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking • Keep container tightly closed • Ground/bond container and receiving equipment • Use explosion-proof electrical/ ventilating / lighting equipment • Use only non-sparking tools • Take precautionary measures against static discharge • Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection

Response

Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell • IF INHALED: Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing • Call a POISON CENTER/doctor if you feel unwell • IF ON SKIN (or hair): Take off immediately all contaminated clothing.

2.3 Other hazards

The vapours are heavier than air and may carry along the ground giving a high risk of explosion . In case of pump . Friction generated by product discharge can create static charges of sufficient magnitude to cause SPARKS WHICH MAY LEAD TO FIRE OR EXPLOSION. Inhalation of vapors in high concentration may cause anesthesia and irritation of respiratory system.
