4. First aid measures

Eye contact: Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.

Skin contact: Wash off immediately with plenty of water

Ingestion: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Get medical attention immediately. Drink 1 or 2
glasses of water

INHALATION: Move to fresh air. Oxygen or artificial respiration if needed

5. Fire-fighting measures

Flammable properties FLAMMABLE.

Suitable Extinguishing Media Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the
surrounding environment Contact with water may cause violent frothing. Use: Carbon
dioxide (CO2) - Foam - Dry chemical

Hazardous Decomposition Products Oxides of carbon, hydrocarbons. Oxides of nitrogen. Ammonia. Nitric acid, nitrosamine.
Aldehydes.

Specific hazards arising from the chemical

Keep product and empty container away from heat and sources of ignition.

Protective equipment and precautions for firefighters

Use water spray to cool unopened containers. In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Keep away from
heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. MAY CAUSE HEAT AND PRESSURE BUILD-UP IN CLOSED CONTAINERS. Solvent
vapors are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Flash back possible over considerable distance.

6. Accidental release measures

Personal precautions Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Use personal protective equipment. Remove all
sources of ignition.

Environmental Precautions Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not flush into surface water or
sanitary sewer system.

Methods for cleaning up If spilled, contain spilled material and remove with inert absorbent. Dispose of contaminated
absorbent, container and unused contents in accordance with local, state and federal
regulations.

OTHER INFORMATION not applicable

7. Handling and Storage

Handling
Close container after each use. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product If
splashes are likely to occur, wear goggles. Wear protective gloves/clothing. Do not burn, or use a cutting torch on, the empty drum.
When used in a mixture, read the labels and safety data sheets of all components. Wash thoroughly after handling

Storage
Keep away from heat, sparks and flame VAPORS MAY CAUSE FLASH FIRE. Use only in an area containing flame proof
equipment. Extinguish all flames and pilot lights, and turn off stoves, heaters, electric motors and other sources of ignition during
use and until all vapors are gone. Prevent build-up of vapors by opening all windows and doors to achieve cross ventilation.
