Apply resuscitation if victim is not breathing - Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Transport to hospital or doctor immediately. Skin contact: Wash with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Eye contact: Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush with copious amounts of water, preferably, lukewarm water for at least 15 minutes, holding eyelids open all the time. Get medical attention. If redness, swelling, pain and/or blisters occur, transport to the nearest medical facility for additional treatment. Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth thoroughly. Loosen any tight clothing. Keep individual calm. Obtain medical attention. 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Fire/Explosion Hazard Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide or foam. Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) required for fire-fighting personnel. If possible to do so safely, shut off fuel to fire. Use water spray to spray to cool fire- exposed surfaces and to protect personnel. Avoid spreading burning liquid with water used for cooling fire exposed containers when using water spray, boil-over may occur when the product temperature reaches the boiling point of water. Material Safety Data Sheet Issued by: Chemtools Pty., Ltd., Page 1 of 5 info chemtools.com.au www.chemtools.com.au Contact Cleaner Aerosol Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Vapours from this product may travel or be moved by air currents and be ignited by pilot lights, other flames, smoking, sparks, heaters, electrical equipment, static discharge or other ignition sources at locations distant from the point of handling. Flash point: -29C (IP 170) Autoignition temperature: 306C (ASTM E6590) Flammable/Explosive limits-lower %: 1.2% Flammable/Explosive limits-upper %: 7.0% Extinguishing media: Foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Hazardous combustion products: Oxides of carbon. Irritating organic vapours. Keep run-off water out of sewers and water sources. Hazchem Code: 3 Y E 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Emergency Action: Keep unnecessary people away Isolate hazard area and deny entry. Stay upwind Keep out of low areas. Shut off ignition sources, no flares, smoking or flames in hazard area. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Water spray may reduce vapour but it may not prevent ignition in closed spaces. Environmental precautions: Extinguish all ignition sources. Ventilate well. Use approved respirator if air contamination is above accepted level. Prevent product from entering drains or open waters. Avoid contact with spilled or released material. Immediately remove all contaminated clothing. Shut off leaks, if possible without personal risks. Remove all possible sources of ignition in the surrounding area. Use appropriate containment (of product and fire fighting water) to avoid environmental contamination. Prevent from spreading or entering drains, ditches or rivers by using sand, earth, or other appropriate barriers. Attempt to disperse the vapour or to direct its flow to a safe location for example by using fog sprays. Take precautionary measures against static discharge. Ensure electrical continuity by bonding and grounding (earthing) all equipment. Clean-up methods: For small liquid spills (< 1 drum), transfer by mechanical means to a labelled, sealable container for product recovery or safe disposal. Allow residues to evaporate or soak up with an appropriate absorbent material and dispose of safely. Remove contaminated soil and dispose of safely. For large liquid spills (> 1 drum), transfer by mechanical means such as vacuum truck to a salvage tank for recovery or safe disposal. Do not flush away residues with water. Retain as contaminated waste. Allow residues to evaporate or soak up with an appropriate absorbent material and dispose of safely. Remove contaminated soil and dispose of safely. Additional Advice :. Notify authorities if exposure to the general public or the environment occurs or is likely to occur. Vapour may form an explosive mixture with air. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling: Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing vapour and mist. Wash thoroughly after handling. Prevent concentration in hollows and sumps. DO NOT enter confined spaces until atmosphere has been checked. Avoid smoking, naked lights or ignition sources. Avoid contact with incompatible materials. When handling, DO NOT eat, drink or smoke. DO NOT incinerate or puncture aerosol cans. DO NOT spray directly on humans, exposed food or food utensils. Avoid physical damage to containers. Always wash hands with soap and water after handling Storage: 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. Store away from incompatible materials. Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area. Avoid storage at temperatures higher than 40C. Store in an upright position. Protect containers against physical damage. Check regularly for spills and leaks. Observe manufacturer s storing and handling recommendations. Incompatible products: Refer to Section 10. 8.
