Prevention

Obtain special instructions before use • Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood • Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection • Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area • Wash face, hands and any exposed skin thoroughly after handling • Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray • Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product • 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 • Keep cool

Response

IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention • IF INHALED: Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing • If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention • IF ON SKIN (or hair): Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/ shower • Take off contaminated clothing and wash it before reuse • IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing • If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention • IF SWALLOWED: Immediately call a POISON CENTER/doctor • Do NOT induce vomiting • In case of fire: Use CO2, dry chemical, or foam to extinguish

Storage

Store locked up • Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed

Precautionary statements

Disposal • Dispose of contents/ container to an approved waste disposal plant

Other physicochemical hazards

Flammable liquids

Health hazards

Inhalation Harmful by inhalation. May cause central nervous system depression with nausea, headache, dizziness, vomiting, and incoordination. In confined or poorly ventilated areas, vapors can readily accumulate and can cause unconsciousness and death. Skin contact Causes skin irritation. Eye contact Causes serious eye irritation. Ingestion Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. If swallowed accidentally, the product may enter the lungs due to its low viscosity and lead to the rapid development of very serious pulmonary lesions (medical survey during 48 hours). Skin corrosion/irritation Causes skin irritation. Serious eye damage/eye irritation Causes serious eye irritation. Sensitization There are no reports available to indicate that the substance has the potential to cause skin and respiratory sensitisation. Carcinogenicity The current toxicological knowledge allows to not classify the product as a carcinogen. Mutagenic effects The current toxicological knowledge allows to not classify the product as a mutagen. Germ Cell Mutagenicity This product is not classified as mutagenic. Reproductive toxicity Suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child. Developmental Toxicity Possible risk of harm to the unborn child. Target Organ Effects (STOT) Central nervous system (CNS). STOT - single exposure May cause respiratory irritation. STOT - repeated exposure Causes damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure.

Other hazards

Frequent or prolonged skin contact destroys the lipoacid cutaneous layer and may cause dermatitis.

Aspiration hazard

May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways.

Environmental hazards

Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects.

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. May be fatal if swallowed. May be harmful if inhaled. Contact with eyes or skin causes irritation. May cause irritation of respiratory tract. May cause harm to the unborn child.
