Section 4. First aid measures

Description of necessary first aid measures
Eye contact : In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Get medical
attention. Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes.
Inhalation : Remove to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Get
medical attention.
Skin contact : After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of soap and water. Remove
contaminated clothing and wash it before reuse. Get medical attention.
Ingestion : Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. If affected
person is conscious, give plenty of water to drink. Wash out mouth with water. Get
medical attention immediately. (Coolant. Contains ethylene glycol.)

Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed

Potential acute health effects
Eye contact : May cause slight transient irritation.
Inhalation : This product is not likely to volatilize rapidly into the air because of its low vapor
pressure.
Skin contact : Defatting to the skin.
Ingestion : Harmful if swallowed. Risk of intoxication.
Over-exposure signs/symptoms
Eye contact : May cause slight transient irritation. ( redness )
Inhalation : May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure.
Skin contact : Prolonged or repeated contact can defat the skin and lead to irritation, cracking and/or
dermatitis.
Ingestion : Exposure can cause stomach pains, vomiting and diarrhea.

Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary

Notes to physician : Treat symptomatically.
Specific treatments : No specific treatment.

Specific hazards arising : In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst.
from the chemical
Hazardous thermal : Decomposition products may include the following materials:
decomposition products metal oxide/oxides
carbon oxides

Special protective actions : Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if
for fire-fighters there is a fire. Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-
contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive
pressure mode.
Special protective : Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained
equipment for fire-fighters breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.

Section 6. Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
For non-emergency : Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate
personnel respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Refer to protective measures listed in
sections 7 and 8.
For emergency responders : If specialized clothing is required to deal with the spillage, take note of any information
in Section 8 on suitable and unsuitable materials. See also the information in "For non-
emergency personnel".

Environmental precautions : Avoid dispersal of spilled 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).

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up

Small spill : Stop leak if without risk. 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.
Large spill : Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Approach release from
upwind. 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. Contaminated
absorbent material may pose the same hazard as the spilled product. Note: see
Section 1 for emergency contact information and Section 13 for waste disposal.

Section 7. Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling
Protective measures : Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use. Use only with adequate
ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put on
appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Do not handle until all
safety precautions have been read and understood. Do not breathe vapor or mist. Do
not get in eyes or on skin or clothing. Empty containers retain product residue and can
be hazardous. Do not reuse container. Do not ingest. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Avoid exposure during pregnancy. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.

Biological exposure indices

No exposure indices known.

Appropriate engineering : Use only with adequate ventilation. If this product contains ingredients with exposure
controls limits, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to
keep worker exposure below any recommended or statutory limits. Where reasonably
practicable, this should be achieved by the use of local exhaust ventilation and good
general extraction. If workers are exposed to concentrations above the exposure limit,
they must use appropriate, certified respirators.
Environmental exposure : Do not allow to enter drains or watercourses.
