3. HAZARDOUS IDENTIFICATION
Classification (CHIP) : Highly flammable and Irritant
Main Health Hazards : Not expected to present any hazards to health under normal conditions of anticipated use.
4. FIRST AID
Inhalation : Move casualty to fresh air immediately. If there is respiratory distress, give oxygen and seek medical attention.
Skin Contact : Wash affected area with soap and water
Eye Contact : Rinse immediately with copious amounts of water. If redness or soreness persists, seek medical advice.
Ingestion : DO NOT induce vomiting. Encourage the casualty to drink water to dilute stomach. Avoid alcoholic drinks as this will enhance toxic
effects. Seek medical advice.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammability : Highly Flammable
Combustion products : Combustion vapours may be toxic. Hazardous polymerisation will not occur.
Extinguishing media : Use dry powder, especially near electrical equipment. Carbon dioxide or alcohol resistant foams or water spray may also be
used. water spray may be used to keep containers cool near fire.
Do not use : Water Jet.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURE
Do not allow to enter drains. Shut off all sources of ignition and wear protective clothing. Mop or soak up small spills onto paper. Absorb large
spills with inert material such as sand and remove to a safe place for disposal. Flush contaminated area with plenty of water.
Dispose of in accordance with Local Authority Regulations.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling : Usual precautionary measures when handling chemicals are to be taken. Avoid contact with skin and eyes and avoid inhaling vapour.
Open and handle bottle with care. Take measures against static discharge.
Fire Prevention : Avoid heat and all sources of ignition.
Storage : To be stored in a flameproof cabinet away form all sources of ignition.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Respiratory protection : Keep work area well ventilated.
Eye and Skin protection : Wear safety glasses and gloves if splashing is likely.
