Postbus AN Hoogvliet Rt. Nederland Telephone : Emergency telephone number : COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS Chemical nature : Contains a fatty acid amido amine and ethyl alcohol Hazardous components Chemical Name CAS-No. / EINECS-No. Fatty acid amido amine * * 2,4,6-TRIS[DIMETHYLAMINOMETHYL] PHENOL ETHANOL Symbol(s) R-phrase(s) Weight % N R51/ Xn R22; R36/ F R HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION Classification : Dangerous for the environment. Flammable. Risk advice to man and the environment Human health hazards : No specific hazards under normal use conditions. Safety hazards : Flammable. 1/8

2 Environmental hazards : Toxic to aquatic organisms. May cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. 4. FIRST AID MEASURES Inhalation : Remove to fresh air. If rapid recovery does not occur, obtain medical attention. Skin contact : Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin with water using soap if available. Eye contact : Flush eye with water. Ingestion : Do not induce vomiting. If rapid recovery does not occur, obtain medical attention. Notes to physician Symptoms : Not expected to give rise to an acute hazard under normal conditions of use. 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Unsuitable extinguishing agents Suitable extinguishing media : Water in a jet. : Foam. Dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, sand or earth may be used for small fires only. Specific hazards during fire fighting Special protective equipment for fire-fighters : Hazardous combustion products may include oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide : Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions : Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing Do not breathe mists, aerosols, fumes, spray Ventilate contaminated area thoroughly. Environmental precautions : Prevent contamination of soil and water. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. 2/8

3 Clean-up methods - small spillage Clean-up methods - large spillage : Shut off leaks if without risk Remove ignition sources. Ventilate contaminated area thoroughly. Absorb or contain liquid with sand, earth or spill control material. Shovel up and place in a labelled, sealable container for subsequent safe disposal. Put leaking containers in a labelled drum or overdrum. Scrub contaminated surfaces with detergent solution Retain washings as contaminated waste. : Transfer to a labelled, sealable container for product recovery or safe disposal. Treat residues as for small spillage. Additional advice : See Section 13 for information on disposal. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling Advice on safe handling : Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing Do not breathe mists, aerosols, fumes, spray Only use in well ventilated areas. Take precautionary measures against static discharge. Storage Requirements for storage areas and containers : Keep container tightly closed and in a cool, well-ventilated place. Keep container dry. Do not smoke in storage areas. Keep away from direct sunlight and other sources of heat or ignition. Storage temperature : Ambient. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION Components with workplace control parameters Components with workplace control parameters Regulation / Update Exposure time Value Remarks Fatty acid amido amine ACGIH None established. 2,4,6- TRIS[DIMETHYLAMINOM ETHYL] PHENOL ACGIH None established. 3/8

4 ETHANOL ACGIH/2002 Time Weighted Average (TWA): ppm Engineering measures Use local exhaust ventilation. Personal protective equipment Respiratory protection : If risk of inhalation, use approved respirator (e.g. CEN, NIOSH/OSHA, AS) as required to prevent over exposure. Use an air-supplied respirator where high concentrations are expected, or an air-purifying respirator for organic vapours (with combined particulate filter if mist is present). Note: an airsupplied respirator should always be used in confined spaces. Hand protection : Neoprene or nitrile rubber gloves gauntlet type Eye protection : Monogoggles Skin and body protection : Standard issue work clothes Safety boots - chemical resistant without lace holes Protective measures : Wear protective clothing specified for normal operations. 9.
