4. First-aid measures
Eye contact In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if
irritation occurs.
Skin contact Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water or use recognised skin cleanser. Remove contaminated clothing
and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse. Get medical attention if
irritation develops.
Inhalation If inhaled, remove to fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms appear.
Ingestion Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. If potentially dangerous quantities of this material have been swallowed, call a physician
immediately.
Notes to physician Treatment should in general be symptomatic and directed to relieving any effects.

5. Fire-fighting measures

Unusual fire/explosion hazards This material is not explosive as defined by established regulatory criteria.
Special fire-fighting procedures None identified.
Protection of fire-fighters Fire-fighters should wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full turnout gear.

6. Accidental release measures

Personal precautions No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Evacuate surrounding areas.
Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Do not touch or walk through spilt material. Put
on appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8).
Environmental precautions Avoid dispersal of spilt material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers. Inform the
relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air).
Large spill Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses,
basements or confined areas. Wash spillages into an effluent treatment plant or proceed as follows. Contain
and collect spillage with non-combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous
earth and place in container for disposal according to local regulations (see section 13). Dispose of via a
licensed waste disposal contractor. Note: see section 1 for emergency contact information and section 13 for
waste disposal.
Small spill Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Absorb with an inert material and place in an
appropriate waste disposal container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.

7. Handling and storage

Handling Wash thoroughly after handling.
Storage Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area.

8. Exposure controls/personal protection

Ingredient name Occupational exposure limits
ACGIH TLVs
Base oil - unspecified ACGIH (United States).
STEL: 10 mg/m³ 15 minute(s). Form: Mineral oil, mist
TWA: 5 mg/m³ 8 hour(s). Form: Mineral oil, mist
For information and guidance, the ACGIH values are included. For further information on these please consult your supplier.
Whilst specific OELs for certain components may be shown in this section, other components may be present in any mist, vapour or dust produced.
Therefore, the specific OELs may not be applicable to the product as a whole and are provided for guidance only.
Exposure controls
Occupational exposure Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapours below
controls their respective occupational exposure limits.
Hygiene measures Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before eating, smoking and
using the lavatory and at the end of the working period.
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection None required. However, use of adequate ventilation is good industrial practice.
Hand protection Wear protective gloves if prolonged or repeated contact is likely.
Chemical-resistant gloves. Recommended: nitrile gloves
The correct choice of protective gloves depends upon the chemicals being handled, the conditions of work
and use, and the condition of the gloves (even the best chemically resistant glove will break down after
repeated chemical exposures). Most gloves provide only a short time of protection before they must be
discarded and replaced. Because specific work environments and material handling practices vary, safety
procedures should be developed for each intended application. Gloves should therefore be chosen in
consultation with the supplier/manufacturer and with a full assessment of the working conditions.
Eye protection Safety glasses with side shields.
Skin and body Wear appropriate clothing to avoid prolonged skin contact.
