Skin irritation. Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically. Keep victim warm. Keep victim under observation. Symptoms may be delayed. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. Water fog. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire. During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed. Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire. Use water spray to cool unopened containers. Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials. No unusual fire or explosion hazards noted. 6. Accidental release measures Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Do not get in eyes. Avoid contact with skin. Avoid inhalation of dust. Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Use a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator if there is a risk of exposure to dust/fume at levels exceeding the exposure limits. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ensure adequate ventilation. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS Version #: 01 Revision date: - Issue date: 25-February / 7

3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up Collect dust using a vacuum cleaner equipped with HEPA filter. This product is miscible in water. Should not be released into the environment. Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth and place into containers. Large Spills: Wet down with water and dike for later disposal. Shovel the material into waste container. Avoid the generation of dusts during clean-up. Following product recovery, flush area with water. Small Spills: Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container for disposal. Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination. Environmental precautions 7. Handling and storage Precautions for safe handling Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Never return spills to original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not contaminate water. Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. Do not get in eyes and avoid contact with skin and clothing. Avoid inhalation of dust. Avoid prolonged exposure. Do not taste or swallow. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Store in original tightly closed container. Store in a well-ventilated place. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS). 8. Exposure controls/personal protection Occupational exposure limits US. OSHA Table Z-1 Limits for Air Contaminants (29 CFR ) Components US. ACGIH Threshold Limit Values Type PEL Value 1 mg/m3 Components Type STEL TWA US. NIOSH: Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards Value 2 mg/m3 1 mg/m3 Components Biological limit values Appropriate engineering controls Type STEL TWA Value No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s). 2 mg/m3 1 mg/m3 Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. If engineering measures are not sufficient to maintain concentrations of dust particulates below the Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL), suitable respiratory protection must be worn. If material is ground, cut, or used in any operation which may generate dusts, use appropriate local exhaust ventilation to keep exposures below the recommended exposure limits. Provide eyewash station. Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment Eye/face protection Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles) and a face shield. Skin protection Hand protection Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. Other Respiratory protection Thermal hazards General hygiene considerations Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing. Where spills or splashes are likely, wear appropriate chemical-resistant faceshield, boots, apron, whole body suits or other protective clothing. Use a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator if there is a risk of exposure to dust/fume at levels exceeding the exposure limits. Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary. Keep away from food and drink. Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants Version #: 01 Revision date: - Issue date: 25-February / 7
