Wash skin thoroughly with soap andwater or use recognised skin cleanser. Do NOT use solvents or thinners.Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with running waterfor at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open.If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or label.Keep person warm and at rest. Do not induce vomiting.5.Fire-fighting measuresExtinguishing media :Extinguishing media not tobe usedRecommendationsPersonal precautionsRecommended: alcohol-resistant foam, CO 2, powders, water spray.: Do not use water jet.6. Accidental release measures: Fire will produce dense black smoke. Exposure to decomposition products maycause a health hazard. Appropriate breathing apparatus may be required.Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water. Do not release runoff from fire todrains or watercourses.:Exclude sources of ignition and ventilate the area. Avoid breathing vapour or mist.Refer to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8. Contain and collect spillagewith non-combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite ordiatomaceous earth and place in container for disposal according to local regulations(see section 13).Spill: Preferably clean with a detergent. Avoid using solvents.Note: see section 8 for personal protective equipment and section 13 for waste disposal.7.Handling and storageHandlingStorage::Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Vapours may formexplosive mixtures with air. Prevent the creation of flammable or explosiveconcentrations of vapours in air and avoid vapour concentrations higher than theoccupational exposure limits.In addition, the product should only be used in areas from which all naked lights andother sources of ignition have been excluded. Electrical equipment should beprotected to the appropriate standard.To dissipate static electricity during transfer, earth drum and connect to receivingcontainer with bonding strap. Operators should wear antistatic footwear and clothingand floors should be of the conducting type.Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. No sparkingtools should be used.Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid the inhalation of dust, particulates, spray ormist arising from the application of this preparation. Avoid inhalation of dust fromsanding.Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material ishandled, stored and processed.Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8).Never use pressure to empty. Container is not a pressure vessel.Always keep in containers made from the same material as the original one.<strong>Comp</strong>ly with the health and safety at work laws.When operators, whether spraying or not, have to work inside the spray booth,ventilation is unlikely to be sufficient to control particulates and solvent vapour in allcases. In such circumstances they should wear a compressed air-fed respiratorduring the spraying process and until such time as the particulates and solventvapour concentration has fallen below the exposure limits.Store in accordance with local regulations. Observe label precautions. Store in a dry,cool and well-ventilated area. Keep away from heat and direct sunlight.Keep away from sources of ignition. Keep away from: oxidising agents, strongalkalis, strong acids.No smoking. Prevent unauthorised access. Containers that have been opened mustbe carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not empty into drains.Date of issue : 15.06.2010.Page: 2/6

Where reasonably practicable, this should be achievedby the use of local exhaust ventilation and good general extraction. If these are notsufficient to maintain concentrations of particulates and solvent vapours below theOEL, suitable respiratory protection must be worn.Occupational exposure limitsEU OEL (Europe, 12/2009).
