distant ignition is possible.

Avoidance of contact : Strong oxidising agents.

Product Transfer : Avoid splash filling Wait 2 minutes after tank filling (for tanks
such as those on road tanker vehicles) before opening
hatches or manholes. Wait 30 minutes after tank filling ( for
large storage tanks) before opening hatches or manholes.
Keep containers closed when not in use. Contamination
resulting from product transfer may give rise to light
hydrocarbon vapour in the headspace of tanks that have
previously contained gasoline. This vapour may explode if
there is a source of ignition. Partly filled containers present a
greater hazard than those that are full, therefore handling,
transfer and sampling activities need special care. Even with
proper grounding and bonding, this material can still
accumulate an electrostatic charge. If sufficient charge is
allowed to accumulate, electrostatic discharge and ignition of
flammable air-vapour mixtures can occur. Be aware of
handling operations that may give rise to additional hazards
that result from the accumulation of static charges. These
include but are not limited to pumping (especially turbulent
flow), mixing, filtering, splash filling, cleaning and filling of

vacuum truck operations, and mechanical movements. These
activities may lead to static discharge e.g. spark formation.
Restrict line velocity during pumping in order to avoid
generation of electrostatic discharge (≤ 1 m/s until fill pipe
submerged to twice its diameter, then ≤ 7 m/s). Avoid splash
filling. Do NOT use compressed air for filling, discharging, or
handling operations.

Do not ingest. If swallowed, then seek immediate medical
assistance

Personal protective equipment

Protective measures
Personal protective equipment (PPE) should meet recommended national standards. Check with
PPE suppliers.

Respiratory protection : If engineering controls do not maintain airborne

concentrations to a level which is adequate to protect worker
health, select respiratory protection equipment suitable for the
specific conditions of use and meeting relevant legislation.
Check with respiratory protective equipment suppliers.
Where air-filtering respirators are unsuitable (e.g. airborne
concentrations are high, risk of oxygen deficiency, confined
space) use appropriate positive pressure breathing apparatus.
Where air-filtering respirators are suitable, select an
appropriate combination of mask and filter.

Select a filter suitable for the combination of organic gases

and vapours and particles [Type A/Type P boiling point >65°C
(149°F)].

Hand protection
Remarks : Where hand contact with the product may occur the use of
gloves approved to relevant standards (e.g. Europe: EN374,
US: F739) made from the following materials may provide
suitable chemical protection. When prolonged or frequent
repeated contact occurs. Nitrile rubber. For incidental
contact/splash protection Neoprene, PVC gloves may be
suitable. For continuous contact we recommend gloves with
breakthrough time of more than 240 minutes with preference
for > 480 minutes where suitable gloves can be identified. For
short-term/splash protection we recommend the same but
recognize that suitable gloves offering this level of protection
may not be available and in this case a lower breakthrough
time maybe acceptable so long as appropriate maintenance
and replacement regimes are followed. Glove thickness is not
a good predictor of glove resistance to a chemical as it is
dependent on the exact composition of the glove material.
Suitability and durability of a glove is dependent on usage,
e.g. frequency and duration of contact, chemical resistance of
glove material, dexterity. Always seek advice from glove
suppliers. Contaminated gloves should be replaced. Personal
hygiene is a key element of effective hand care. Gloves must
only be worn on clean hands. After using gloves, hands
should be washed and dried thoroughly. Application of a non-
perfumed moisturizer is recommended.

Eye protection : If material is handled such that it could be splashed into eyes,
protective eyewear is recommended.
If a local risk assessment deems it so then chemical splash
goggles may not be required and safety glasses may provide
