Risk Phrases R10 Flammable.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation Remove to fresh air. Seek medical advice if symptoms persist.
Eye Contact Flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes.
Skin Contact Wash affected area with soap and water. Rinse thoroughly.
Ingestion Rinse out mouth and drink lots of water. If unusual symptoms are observed, seek medical advice.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing Medium Use fire fighting measures which suit the environment and take into account other materials which
may be involved. In general, water-based extinguishers should not be used for fires involving
organic materials. Use carbon dioxide or dry powder.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Protection Keep away from ignition sources. Avoid inhalation of vapour. Wear protective equipment including
rubber gloves, eye protection and breathing equipment. Keep unprotected persons away.
Environmental Protection Take precautions to ensure product does not contaminate the ground or enter the drainage system.
Collection Absorb in vermiculite or proprietary absorbent material and transfer to sealed containers for
disposal.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling Chemicals should be used only by those trained in handling potentially hazardous materials. Rubber
gloves, eye protection and protective clothing should be worn. Operations should be carried out in
an efficient fume hood or equivalent system.
