SECTION 4: First aid measures 4.1 Description of first aid measures General notes Take off contaminated clothing. Following inhalation Provide fresh air. In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical advice. Following skin contact Immediate medical treatment required because corrosive injuries that are not treated are hard to cure. Following eye contact Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical advice. Australia (en) Page 2 / 14 Safety data sheet Safe Work Australia - Code of Practice Potassium hydroxide in ethanol 0,1 mol/l - 0,1 N volumetric standard solution volumetric standard solution article number: P706 Following ingestion Rinse mouth. Call a doctor if you feel unwell. 4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed Vomiting, Vertigo, Diminished responsiveness, Poisoning effect on central nervous system can cause convulsions, laboured breathing and loss of consciousness 4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed none SECTION 5: Firefighting measures 5.1 Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing media Co-ordinate fire-fighting measures to the fire surroundings water spray, foam, alcohol resistant foam, dry extinguishing powder, carbon dioxide (CO2) Unsuitable extinguishing media water jet 5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture Combustible. Solvent vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Hazardous combustion products May produce toxic fumes of carbon monoxide if burning. 5.3 Advice for firefighters Fight fire with normal precautions from a reasonable distance. Wear self-contained breathing appar- atus. SECTION 6: Accidental release measures 6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures For non-emergency personnel No special measures are necessary. 6.2 Environmental precautions Keep away from drains, surface and ground water. 6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up Advice on how to contain a spill Covering of drains. Other information relating to spills and releases Place in appropriate containers for disposal. Ventilate affected area.

Personal protective equipment: see section 8. Incom- patible materials: see section 10. Disposal considerations: see section 13. SECTION 7: Handling and storage 7.1 Precautions for safe handling Provision of sufficient ventilation. • Measures to prevent fire as well as aerosol and dust generation Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Advice on general occupational hygiene Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs. 7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Keep container tightly closed. Incompatible substances or mixtures Observe hints for combined storage. Consideration of other advice • Ventilation requirements Use local and general ventilation. • Specific designs for storage rooms or vessels Recommended storage temperature: 15 – 25 °C. 7.3 Specific end use(s) No information available.
