Material Safety Data Sheet Version 3.2
According to EU Regulation 1907/2006 in the current version
Special protective equipment: Avoid vapour inhalation. Keep away from sources of ignition. Do not smoke. Wear
positive pressure self-contained breathing equipment & protective clothing.
Respiratory and eye protection required for fire crews when exposed to smoke or
Fire and explosion protection: This product is made up of inflammable material with low risk. The product
may only form ignitable mixtures or burn only upon heating above the flash
point. However, minor contamination by lightly volatile hydrocarbons may increase
the hazard. Ignition hazard at welding at the empty container.
Dangerous combustion residues: smoke, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide
Other information: Closed containers may build up pressure when exposed to heat and should be cooled
with water spray. In the case of fire: Use respirator.
6. Accidental release measures:
Personal precautions: Remove sources of ignition, provide adequate ventilation, avoid contact with
skin and eye contact. Use individual protective equipment (safety glasses, waterproof-
boots, suitable protective clothing) in case of major spillages.
Environmental precautions Shut off source. Prevent product from entering sewerage, water courses or low
Land spill: lying areas. Take measures to reduce or prevent effects on ground water.
Gather product mechanically if possible. Bind remainings of the product with
sand or other appropriate absorbent and remove. Dispose of product and
contaminated absorbents in suitable containers, as directed in section 13.
Water spill: Confine the spill immediately with booms. Warn other ships. Notify port and
other relevant authorities. Remove from the surface by skimming or with suitable
absorbents. In running waters, apply appropriate dispersants in accordance
with local regulation.
Methods for cleaning up: Small spills and residues may be absorbed with material such as cloth or sawdust,
washed away with water and cleaned with sodic products. Larger spillage may be
pumped.
7. Handling and Storage
Precautions for safe handling: Apply good manufacturing practice & industrial hygiene practices, ensuring proper
ventilation. Observe good personal hygiene, and do not eat, drink or smoke whilst
handling. Keep containers leak proof closed and dry. Protect against sun/light. Prevent
spills and leakages to avoid slip hazard.
Conditions for safe storage: Intrusion into soil to be avoided. Store the product in cool (max. at room
temperature) and well-ventilated environment and keep away from sources of
ignition. Provide suitable mechanical equipment for the safe handling of drums and
heavy packages. Electrical equipment and fittings must comply with local regulations.
8. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection
Hand protection: Wear suitable protective gloves in the event of prolonged or repeated skin contact.
Gloves must be selected according to the application and duration of use at the
workstation. Protective gloves need to be selected according to their suitability for the
workstation in question: other chemical products that may be handled, necessary
physical protections (cutting, pricking, heat protection), level of dexterity required.
Occupational exposure limit: No special measures required
