Ingestion: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth. If a person vomits when lying on his back, place him in the recovery position.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

Thermal decomposition / During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases and/or fumes may be generated during combustion or decomposition.
Suitable extinguishing media: / Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.

Specific hazards during fire fighting: Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses. Dusts at sufficient concentrations can form explosive mixtures with air.

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus.

Further information: Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This must not be discharged into drains.

Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions

Appropriate protective equipment must be worn when handling a spill of this material. See SECTION 8, Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, for recommendations.

Avoid breathing dust.

Use personal protective equipment.

Evacuate personnel to safe areas.

MATERIAL IS TOXIC. If exposed to material during clean-up operations, IMMEDIATELY remove all contaminated clothing and wash exposed skin areas with soap and water. See SECTION 4, First Aid Measures, for further information.

MATERIAL IS A POTENTIAL SENSITIZER.

Environmental precautions

NOTE: Spills on porous surfaces can contaminate groundwater.

Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system.

Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.

Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.

Methods for cleaning up

Clean up promptly by sweeping or vacuum.

Contain spillage, and then collect with an electrically protected vacuum cleaner or by wet-brushing and place in container for disposal according to local regulations (see section 13).

Do not create a powder cloud by using a brush or compressed air.

No sparking tools should be used.

Remove all sources of ignition.

Clean contaminated surface thoroughly.

Additional advice: MATERIAL IS A POTENTIAL SKIN SENSITIZER. If exposed to material during clean-up operations, IMMEDIATELY remove all contaminated clothing and wash exposed skin areas with soap and water.

See SECTION 13, Disposal Considerations, for information regarding the disposal of contained spills.

7. Handling and storage

Handling

Avoid exceeding of the given occupational exposure limits (see section 8). In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Provide sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms. Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in the application area. Wear personal protective equipment. Plan first aid action before beginning work with this product. Avoid formation of respirable particles. This material is a potential skin sensitizer. See SECTION 8, Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, prior to handling. Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use. This material is TOXIC. Provide for appropriate exhaust ventilation and dust collection at machinery. Use only in an area equipped with a safety shower. For personal protection see section 8. Use only in area provided with appropriate exhaust ventilation. CONTAINERS MAY BE HAZARDOUS WHEN EMPTY. Since emptied containers retain product residue follow all MSDS and label warnings even after container is emptied. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Persons with a history of skin sensitization problems or asthma, allergies, chronic or recurrent respiratory disease should not be employed in any process in which this preparation is being used.

Advice on protection against fire and explosion: During processing, dust may form explosive mixture in air. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at machinery and at places where dust can be generated. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols.

Storage

Storage conditions: No special storage conditions required. Store in a place accessible by authorized persons only. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.

Storage period:12 Months

For product stored in clean, dry conditions at less than 80 °F expected shelf life is at least 12 Months from receipt date

Other data: No decomposition if stored and applied as directed.
