3. Composition / Information on Ingredients

4. First Aid Measures

Ingestion

Do not induce vomiting, obtain medical attention.

Inhalation

If inhalation of mists, fumes or vapour causes irritation remove to fresh air. If casualty does not rapidly recover seek medical attention.

Skin Contact

Wash with soap and water

Eye Contact

Irrigate with copious amounts of water

Other Information

If exposed to hydrogen sulphide fumes the effects will depend on the airborne concentration - 0.02ppm odour threshold, smell of rotten eggs; 10ppm eye and respiratory tract irritation.

5. Firefighting Measures

Suitable extinguishing equipment

Fire

Carbon dioxide, dry powder, foam or water fog. Do not use water jets

HAZCHEM

Combustion products include carbon monoxide.

Special protective equipment and precautions for fire fighters

6. Accidental Release Measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Spilt product constitutes a slip hazard. Avoid contact with eyes.

Environmental precautions

Prevent entry into drains, sewers and watercourses.

Methods and materials for containment and clean up

Can be wiped from surfaces and residues cleaned with water and detergent.

7. Handling and Storage

Precautions for safe handling

Avoid contact with hot material to prevent burns

Conditions for safe storage

No special precautions required.

8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

Exposure Standards

Engineering controls

At ambient temperature oil has very low volatility, so development of fumes is highly unlikely. At high temperatures hydrogen sulphide may be released.

Personal protective equipment

Eye and face protection

Eye washes should be available for emergency use.

Skin protection

Wash hands after use. For prolonged or repeated skin contact gloves are recommended.

Body protection

Wear coveralls.

Respiratory protection

None required
