: Small amounts splashed into eyes can cause irreversible tissue

damage and blindness.

Remove contact lenses.

In the case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty

of water and seek medical advice.

Do not give milk or alcoholic beverages.

Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

If symptoms persist, call a physician.

4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

Symptoms : Skin contact may provoke the following symptoms:

Burn

corrosive effects

Redness

Inhalation may provoke the following symptoms:

Shortness of breath

Asthma

Ingestion may provoke the following symptoms:

Stomach/intestinal disorders

In case of eye contact

Excessive lachrymation

4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Fire-fighting measures

5.1 Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media

: Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances

and the surrounding environment.

Water mist

Water spray jet

Foam

Carbon dioxide (CO2)

Dry chemical

Unsuitable extinguishing

media

: High volume water jet

5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Specific hazards during firefighting

: Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water

courses.

Hazardous combustion products

: Metal oxides

Nitrogen oxides (NOx)

Carbon oxides

Hazardous decomposition products due to incomplete combustion

5.3 Advice for firefighters

Special protective equipment

for firefighters

: No special protective equipment required.

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.

Accidental release measures

6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Personal precautions

: Use personal protective equipment.

Evacuate personnel to safe areas.

6.2 Environmental precautions

Environmental precautions

: Prevent product from entering drains.

Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.

If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform

respective authorities.

6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Methods for cleaning up

: Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel,

acid binder, universal binder, sawdust).

Product may decompose into triethylamine and ethylene, both

of which are flammable gases.

Empty containers may contain one or both flammable gases

and should be handled appropriately. All equipment used in

cleaning containers should be grounded and bonded, including

the container, to prevent buildup and discharge of static

electricity which may cause fire or explosion.

Handling and storage

7.1 Precautions for safe handling

Advice on safe handling

: Do not breathe vapours/dust.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

For personal protection see section 8.

Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in the application

area.

Product may decompose into triethylamine and ethylene, both

of which are flammable gases.

Empty containers may contain one or both flammable gases

and should be handled appropriately. All equipment used in

cleaning containers should be grounded and bonded, including

the container, to prevent buildup and discharge of static

electricity which may cause fire or explosion.

Advice on protection against

fire and explosion

: Normal measures for preventive fire protection.

Hygiene measures

: Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. General industrial

hygiene practice. Wash hands before breaks and immediately

after handling the product.

7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Requirements for storage

areas and containers

: Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated

place. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed

and kept upright to prevent leakage. Electrical installations

/ working materials must comply with the technological

safety standards. To maintain product quality, do not store in

heat or direct sunlight.

Advice on common storage

: Do not store near acids.

Keep away from metals.

Storage class (TRGS 510)

: 8B, Non-combustible, corrosive hazardous materials

Further information on storage

stability

: Keep in a dry place. No decomposition if stored and applied

as directed.
