4. First Aid Measures First aid procedures Eye contact Skin contact Inhalation Ingestion tes to physician General advice Flush thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. Get immediate medical assistance. If medical assistance is not immediately available, flush an additional 15 minutes. Make sure to remove any contact lenses from the eyes before rinsing. Remove contaminated clothing immediately and wash skin with soap and water. Get medical attention immediately! Chemical burns must be treated by a physician. Move injured person into fresh air and keep person calm under observation. Get medical attention if any discomfort occurs. Rinse mouth thoroughly with water and give large amounts of milk or water to people not unconscious. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, the head should be kept low so that stomach vomit doesn't enter the lungs. Obtain medical attention and take along these instructions. Treat symptomatically. Symptoms may be delayed. Chemical burns must be treated by a physician. 5. Fire Fighting Measures Flammable properties Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing media Unsuitable extinguishing media Protection of firefighters Specific hazards arising from the chemical Protective equipment and precautions for firefighters Fire fighting equipment/instructions The product is not flammable. Use fire-extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding materials. ne known. During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed. Thermal decomposition products are toxic and corrosive. Selection of respiratory protection for firefighting: follow the general fire precautions indicated in the workplace. Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Prevent runoff from fire control or dilution from entering streams, sewers, or drinking water supply. 6. Accidental Release Measures Personal precautions Environmental precautions Methods for containment Methods for cleaning up Other information Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid inhalation of vapors/spray and contact with skin and eyes. Wear suitable protective clothing. See Section of the MSDS for Personal Protective Equipment. Do not allow to enter drains, sewers or watercourses. Collect and dispose of spillage as indicated in Section 13 of the MSDS. Contact local authorities in case of spillage to drain/aquatic environment. Collect spillage. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Absorb spill with inert material (e.g., dry sand or earth), then place in a chemical waste container. Clean up in accordance with all applicable regulations. Clean up in accordance with all applicable regulations. 7. Handling and Storage Handling Storage Provide adequate ventilation. Avoid inhalation of vapors/mist and contact with skin and eyes. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Handle and open container with care. Change contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Keep container tightly closed and in a well-ventilated place. Store away from incompatible materials.. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection Occupational exposure limits Engineering controls Personal protective equipment Eye / face protection exposure limits noted for ingredient(s). Provide adequate ventilation and minimize the risk of inhalation of vapors. Shower, hand and eye washing facilities near the workplace are recommended. Use approved safety goggles or face shield. 2 / 6
Skin protection Respiratory protection General hygiene considerations Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. Suitable gloves can be recommended by the glove supplier. Wear appropriate clothing to prevent any possibility of liquid contact and repeated or prolonged vapor contact. In case of inadequate ventilation: Use a NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator as needed to control exposure. Consult with respirator manufacturer to determine respirator selection, use, and limitations. Use positive pressure, air-supplied respirator for uncontrolled releases or when air purifying respirator limitations may be exceeded. Follow respirator protection program requirements (OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI Z.2) for all respirator use. 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. 9. Physical & Chemical Properties Appearance Clear, colorless to straw-colored liquid. Color Colorless to straw.
