3 - Hazard Identification
FLAMMABLE
HARMFUL BY INHALATION & IN CONTACT WITH THE SKIN
IRRITATING TO SKIN
Keep away from sources of ignition – No Smoking
Avoid contact with eyes
In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice
Wear Suitable Gloves
4 - First-aid Measures
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air and rest
If recovery is not rapid call for prompt medical attention
Show this safety data sheet to medical personnel
Eyes: Irrigate with water for at least 15 minutes
Take care not to wash chemical from one eye to another
Get prompt medical attention
Skin: Remove contaminated clothing
Wash with soap/cleanser and rinse with plenty of water
If irritation persists, obtain immediate medical attention
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting
Give plenty of water to drink
Beware of aspiration if vomiting occurs
Seek medical attention immediately
5 - Fire-fighting Measures
Suitable Extinguishers: Alcohol resistant foam
Dry powder
Carbon dioxide
Water spray/fog
Unsuitable Extinguishers: Direct water jets
Hazardous Decomposition: Toxic or corrosive fumes may be produced in fire. Explosion hazard.
Special Procedures: Do not breathe decomposition products and fumes
Use approved self-contained breathing apparatus
Wear fire retardant clothing
Use water spray to cool containers
Warning: Danger of flashback exists
Use water fog to disperse vapours and leaks that have not ignited
Prevent runoff from fire control from entering waterways
Large fires should only be dealt with by trained personnel
6 - Accidental Release Measures
Exposure Controls: Ventilate area
Eliminate all sources of ignition
Do not allow chemical to enter confined spaces as fumes may accumulate.
Do not allow spill to enter drains and watercourses
Mark area and warn all personnel
Personal Protection: Wear suitable respiratory protection for large spillages and in confined spaces
Wear polythene, PVC or viton gloves
Use eye protection such as goggles to BS EN 166 Chemical Grade
Disposal Considerations: Absorb in inert material such as sand or absorbent granules
Scoop up and place in plastic container to await transfer
Spill is classed as special waste
7 - Handling and Storage
Handling: Avoid skin contact
Avoid eye contact
Avoid inhalation of vapour
Ensure adequate ventilation
Use local extraction equipment where possible
Wear suitable protective clothing (see section 8)
Storage: Store in tightly closed labelled containers
Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area
8 - Exposure Controls
Occupational Exposure Limit: OEL 8hrs = 50ppm (Sk) STEL 15 min = 100ppm (Sk) Xylene
Wear polythene, PVC or viton gloves
Wear suitable overalls or apron and change if contaminated
Wear suitable eye protection such as BS EN 166
Use in well ventilated areas.
Use mechanical ventilation if possible
If excessive inhalation in a poorly ventilated area is likely then use a respirator with filter type A
After contact with skin wash off immediately
Do not smoke in work area.
