Most important symptoms and effects

Symptoms See Section 11 for more detailed information on health effects and symptoms.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Notes to Physician Treat symptomatically.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

Suitable Extinguishing Media

Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.

Unsuitable Extinguishing Media

High volume water jet

Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical

Fire Hazard
Keep away from heat and sources of ignition.
Flash back possible over considerable distance.
Beware of vapours accumulating to form explosive concentrations.
Vapours can accumulate in low areas.

Hazardous Combustion Products

Carbon oxides.

Protective equipment and precautions for firefighters

Use personal protective equipment.

Specific Extinguishing Methods

Use water spray to cool unopened containers. Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in
accordance with local regulations. In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Personal Precautions Remove all sources of ignition. Refer to protective measures listed in Sections 7 & 8.

Environmental Precautions Do not allow contact with soil, surface or ground water.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so. Stop leak if safe to do so. Contain spillage, and then collect with non-combustible
absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according to local /
national regulations (see section 13). Flush away traces with water. For large spills, dike spilled material or otherwise contain
material to ensure runoff does not reach a waterway.

Mobility
The environmental fate was estimated using a level III fugacity model embedded in the EPI (estimation program interface) Suite
TM, provided by the US EPA. The model assumes a steady state condition between the total input and output. The level III model
does not require equilibrium between the defined media. The information provided is intended to give the user a general estimate
of the environmental fate of this product under the defined conditions of the models.

If released into the environment this material is expected to distribute to the air, water and soil/sediment in the approximate
respective percentages:

Air: < 5%
Water: 5-10%
Soil: 70-90%

The portion in water is expected to float on the surface.

13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS

Waste Treatment Methods

Disposal of Wastes The product should not be allowed to enter drains, water courses or the soil. Where
possible recycling is preferred to disposal or incineration. If recycling is not practicable,
dispose of in compliance with local regulations. Dispose of wastes in an approved waste
disposal facility.

Disposal Considerations Dispose of as unused product. Empty containers should be taken to an approved waste
handling site for recycling or disposal. Do not re-use empty containers.
