information to allow CHEMWATCH assessment.

Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES

SWALLOWED

• Not considered a normal route of entry.

• If spontaneous vomiting appears imminent or occurs, hold patient's head down, lower than their hips to help avoid possible aspiration of vomitus.

• If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.

• If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration.

• Observe the patient carefully.

• Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious.

• Avoid giving milk or oils.

• Avoid giving alcohol.

EYE

■ If aerosols come in contact with the eyes: • Immediately hold the eyelids apart and flush the eye with fresh running water.

• Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids.

• Seek medical attention without delay; if pain persists or recurs seek medical attention.

• Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel.

SKIN

■ If solids or aerosol mists are deposited upon the skin: • Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).

• Remove any adhering solids with industrial skin cleansing cream.

• DO NOT use solvents.

• Seek medical attention in the event of irritation.

INHALED

■ If aerosols, fumes or combustion products are inhaled: • Remove to fresh air.

• Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.

• Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed, where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.

• If breathing is shallow or has stopped, ensure clear airway and apply resuscitation, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary.

NOTES TO PHYSICIAN

■ Treat symptomatically.

• Heavy and persistent skin contamination over many years may lead to dysplastic changes. Pre-existing skin disorders may be aggravated by exposure to this product.

• In general, emesis induction is unnecessary with high viscosity, low volatility products, i.e. most oils and greases.

• High pressure accidental injection through the skin should be assessed for possible incision, irrigation and/or debridement.

NOTE: Injuries may not seem serious at first, but within a few hours tissue may become swollen, discoloured and extremely painful with extensive subcutaneous necrosis.

For acute or short term repeated exposures to petroleum distillates or related hydrocarbons: • Primary threat to life, from pure petroleum distillate ingestion and/or inhalation, is respiratory failure.

• Patients should be quickly evaluated for signs of respiratory distress (e.g. cyanosis, tachypnoea, intercostal retraction, obtundation) and given oxygen. Patients with inadequate tidal volumes or poor arterial blood gases (pO2 50 mm Hg) should be intubated.

• Arrhythmias complicate some hydrocarbon ingestion and/or inhalation and electrocardiographic evidence of myocardial injury has been reported; intravenous lines and cardiac monitors should be established in obviously symptomatic patients. The lungs excrete inhaled solvents, so that hyperventilation improves clearance.

• A chest x-ray should be taken immediately after stabilisation of breathing and circulation to document aspiration and detect the presence of pneumothorax.

Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA

■ SMALL FIRE: • Water spray, dry chemical or CO2 LARGE FIRE: • Water spray or fog.

FIRE FIGHTING

• Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.

• May be violently or explosively reactive.

• Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves.

CHEMWATCH 22542 Version No:4 CD 2010/1 Page 3 of 6 Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

• Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water course.

When any large container (including road and rail tankers) is involved in a fire, consider evacuation by 100 metres in all directions.

FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD

• Liquid and vapour are flammable.

• Moderate fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame.

• Vapour forms an explosive mixture with air.

• Moderate explosion hazard when exposed to heat or flame.

Combustion products include: carbon dioxide (CO2), other pyrolysis products typical of burning organic material.

FIRE INCOMPATIBILITY

• Avoid contamination with oxidising agents i.e. nitrates, oxidising acids, chlorine bleaches, pool chlorine etc. as ignition may result.

HAZCHEM

2YE Personal Protective Equipment

Breathing apparatus.

Gas tight chemical resistant suit.

Limit exposure duration to 1 BA set 30 mins.

Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

MINOR SPILLS

• • • •

Clean up all spills immediately.

Avoid breathing vapours and contact with skin and eyes.

Wear protective clothing, impervious gloves and safety glasses.

Shut off all possible sources of ignition and increase ventilation.

MAJOR SPILLS

• • • •

Clear area of personnel and move upwind.

Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.

May be violently or explosively reactive.

Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves.

Personal Protective Equipment advice is contained in Section 8 of the MSDS.

Section 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE

PROCEDURE FOR HANDLING

• Avoid all personal contact, including inhalation.

• Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs.

• Use in a well-ventilated area.

• Prevent concentration in hollows and sumps.

SUITABLE CONTAINER

• Aerosol dispenser.

• Check that containers are clearly labelled.

STORAGE INCOMPATIBILITY

• Avoid reaction with oxidising agents.

STORAGE REQUIREMENTS

• Store in an upright position.

• Outside or detached storage is preferred.

• Store below 38 deg. C. • Keep dry to avoid corrosion of cans. Corrosion may result in container perforation and internal pressure may eject contents of can.

• Store in original containers in approved flammable liquid storage area.

• DO NOT store in pits, depressions, basements or areas where vapours may be trapped.

• No smoking, naked lights, heat or ignition sources.

• Keep containers securely sealed. Contents under pressure.
