4. First aid measures
General
In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Inhalation
Remove to fresh air, keep patient warm and at rest. If breathing is irregular or stopped, give artificial respiration. If unconscious
place in the recovery position and obtain immediate medical attention. Give nothing by mouth.
Eye Contact
Irrigate copiously with clean fresh water for at least 10 minutes, holding the eyelids apart and seek medical attention.
Skin Contact
Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water or use a recognised skin cleanser. Do NOT use
solvents or thinners.
Ingestion
If accidentally swallowed obtain immediate medical attention. Keep at rest. Do NOT induce vomiting.

5. Fire-fighting measures
Recommended extinguishing media; alcohol resistant foam, CO². powder, water spray.
Do not use; water jet.
Note; Fire will produce dense black smoke. Decomposition products may be hazardous to health. Avoid exposure and use
breathing apparatus as appropriate.
Cool closed containers exposed to fire by spraying them with water. Do not allow run off water and contaminants from fire
fighting to enter drains or water courses.
6. Accidental release measures
Remove sources of ignition, do not turn lights or unprotected electrical equipment on or off. In case of a major spill or spillage
in a confined space evacuate the area and check that solvent vapour levels are below the Lower Explosive Limit before re-
entering.
Ventilate the area and avoid breathing vapours. Take the personal protective measures listed in section 8.
Contain and absorb spillage with non-combustible materials e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite. Place in closed containers outside
buildings and dispose of according to the Waste Regulations. (See section 13).
Clean, preferably with a detergent. Do not use solvents.
Do not allow spills to enter drains or watercourses.
If drains, sewers, streams or lakes are contaminated, inform the local water company immediately. In the case of
contamination of rivers, streams or lakes the Environmental Protection Agency should also be informed.

7. Handling and storage
Handling
This coating contains solvents. Solvent vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Vapours may form explosive
mixtures with air. Areas of storage, preparation and application should be ventilated to prevent the creation of flammable or
explosive concentrations of vapour in air and avoid vapour concentrations higher than the occupational exposure limits.
In Storage
Handle containers carefully to prevent damage and spillage.
Naked flames and smoking should not be permitted in storage areas. It is recommended that fork lift trucks and electrical
equipment are protected to the appropriate standard.
In Use
Avoid skin and eye contact. Avoid inhalation of vapours and spray mists. Observe label precautions. Use personal protection
as shown in section 8.
Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in all preparation and application areas.
Never use pressure to empty a container; containers are not pressure vessels.
All sources of ignition (hot surfaces, sparks, open flames etc) should be excluded from areas of preparation and application. All
electrical equipment (including torches) should be protected (Ex) to the appropriate standard.
The product may charge electrostatically. Always use earthing leads when pouring solvents and transferring product.
Operators should wear clothing which does not generate static (at least 60% natural fibre) and antistatic footwear; floors should
be of conducting type.
Storage
Store in a well ventilated, dry place away from sources of heat and direct sunlight.
Store on concrete or other impervious floor, preferably with bunding to contain any spillage. Do not stack more than 3 pallets
high.
Keep container tightly closed. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.
Keep in the original container or one of the same material.
Prevent unauthorised access.

The requirements of the Highly Flammable Liquids and Liquified Petroleum Gases Regulations apply if the flashpoint is
between 21°C and 32°C.

8. Exposure controls and personal protection
Engineering Measures
Provide adequate ventilation. Where reasonably practicable this should be achieved by the use of local exhaust ventilation and
good general extraction. If these are not sufficient to maintain concentrations of particulates and any vapour below
occupational exposure limits suitable respiratory protection must be worn.
Exposure Limits
The following workplace exposure limits have been established by the Health and Safety Executive as published in EH40.
Material Short term (15 min. ave) Long term (8hr TWA) Comments
ppm mg/m³ ppm mg/m³
1,2,4-trimethylbenzene 25 125
1,3,5-trimethylbenzene 25 125
Butan-1-ol 50 154 - - +
Ethylbenzene 125 552 100 441 +
Xylene 100 441 50 220 +
For Key to entries in 'Comments' column see Section 16
Personal Protection
Respiratory Protection
If workers are exposed to concentrations above the exposure limit they must use the appropriate, certified respirators. When
spraying this product use a respiratory mask with charcoal and dust filters (as filter combination A2-P2). In confined spaces
use compressed air or fresh air respiratory equipment.
Eye Protection
Wear safety eyewear, e.g. safety spectacles, goggles or visors to protect against the splash of liquids. Eyewear should comply
with British Standard 2092.
Hand Protection
Nitrile rubber gloves should be worn during mixing and application.
Skin Protection
Overalls which cover the body, arms and legs should be worn. Skin should not be exposed. Barrier creams may help to protect
areas which are difficult to cover such as the face and neck. They should however not be applied once exposure has occurred.
Petroleum jelly based types such as Vaseline should not be used. All parts of the body should be washed after contact.

Solubility in Water Immiscible
R.A.Q. to ventilate to 10% of the LEL (m ³/l) 247
10. Stability and reactivity
Stable under recommended storage and handling conditions (see section 7). When exposed to high temperatures may
produce hazardous decomposition products such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxides of nitrogen and smoke.
Keep away from oxidising agents, strongly alkaline and strongly acid materials in order to avoid possible exothermic reactions.
11. Toxicological information
There are no data available on the preparation itself. The preparation has been assessed following the conventional method of
the Dangerous Preparations Directive 1999/45/EC and classified for toxicological hazards accordingly. See Sections 2 and 15
for details.
Exposure to solvent vapour concentrations from the component solvents in excess of the stated occupational exposure limits
may result in adverse health effects such as mucous membrane and respiratory system irritation and adverse effects on the
kidneys, liver and central nervous system. Symptoms include headache, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, muscular weakness,
drowsiness and in extreme cases, loss of consciousness.
Repeated or prolonged contact with the preparation may cause removal of natural fat from the skin resulting in dryness,
irritation and possible non-allergic contact dermatitis. Solvents may also be absorbed through the skin. Splashes of liquid in the
eyes may cause irritation and soreness with possible reversible damage.
