First-aid measures

Description of First Aid Measures:

On contact with eyes : Immediately flush with water. Obtain medical attention immediately.

On skin contact : Immediately flush with water. Wipe off. Obtain medical attention.

If inhaled : Remove to fresh air. Obtain medical attention.

On ingestion : Obtain medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media:

On large fires use dry chemical, foam or water spray (fog). On small fires use carbon dioxide (CO2), dry chemical or water spray. Water can be used to cool fire exposed containers.

Unsuitable extinguishing media : None known.

Hazards during fire fighting : Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air.

Hazardous Combustion Products : Thermal breakdown of this product during fire or very high heat conditions may evolve the following decomposition products: Silica. Carbon oxides and traces of incompletely burned carbon compounds. Formaldehyde. Nitrogen products.

Special protective equipment/procedures : A self-contained respirator and protective clothing should be worn. Determine the need to evacuate or isolate the area according to your local emergency plan. Use water spray to keep fire exposed containers cool.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures : Wear proper protective equipment.

Environmental precautions : Do not empty into drains. Prevent from spreading or entering into drains, ditches or rivers by using sand, earth or other appropriate barriers. Inform local authorities if this cannot be prevented.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up : Determine the need to evacuate or isolate the area according to your local emergency plan. Very large spills should be contained by bunding, etc... procedures. Mop, wipe or soak up with absorbent material and place in a container with a lid. The spilled product produces an extremely slippery surface.

Handling and storage

Advice on safe handling : General ventilation is required. Local ventilation is required. Do not breathe vapour.

Avoid skin and eye contact. Do not ingest. Do not empty into drains.

Advice on storage : Do not store with oxidizing agents. Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Engineering Controls :

Local Exhaust ventilation (LEV) and good general ventilation as applicable

Respiratory protection : Suitable respiratory protection should be worn if the product is used in large quantities, confined spaces or in other circumstances where the OEL may be approached. Depending on the working conditions, wear a respiratory mask with filter(s) AX or use a self-contained respirator. The choice of a filter type depends on the amount and type of chemical being handled in the workplace. Regarding filter characteristics, contact your respiratory protection supplier.

Hand protection : Chemical protective gloves or gauntlets should be worn and removed correctly to avoid skin contamination: Silver shield(TM). 4H(TM). .Regarding glove's breakthrough time,contact your chemical protective glove supplier.

Eye/face protection : Face shield or safety goggles.

Skin protection : Wear impervious overalls in circumstances where significant skin contact can occur.

Hygiene measures : Exercise good industrial hygiene practice. Wash after handling, especially before eating, drinking or smoking. Remove contamin ted clothing immediately.

Environmental exposure controls : Treatment of effluent in waste water treatment plant (WWTP)

Stability and reactivity

Reactivity : This product releases methanol.

Stability : Stable under normal usage conditions.

Possibility of hazardous reactions : None known.

Conditions to avoid : None established.

Materials to avoid : Can react with strong oxidising agents.

Hazardous decomposition products : Thermal breakdown of this product during fire or very high heat conditions may evolve

the following decomposition products: Silica. Carbon oxides and traces of incompletely burned carbon compounds. Formaldehyde. Nitrogen products.

Disposal considerations

Product and packaging disposal : Dispose of in accordance with local regulations. According to the European Waste Catalogue, Waste Codes are not product specific, but application specific. Waste codes should be assigned by the user, preferably in discussion with the waste disposal authorities.
