Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. If difficulties occur: Obtain medical attention. Show container, label and/or safety data sheet to physician. If inhaled: Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air. Assist in breathing if necessary. Consult a physician. If on skin: Wash affected areas thoroughly with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. If irritation develops, seek medical attention. If in eyes: Hold eyelids open to facilitate rinsing. Flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. If symptoms persist, seek medical advice. If swallowed: Rinse mouth and then drink plenty of water. Do not induce vomiting. Immediate medical attention required.

Fire-Fighting Measures Flash point: 37.2 C (Directive 92/69/EEC, A.9) Autoignition: 328 C (Directive 92/69/EEC, A.15) Upper explosion limit: not determined Self-ignition temperature: 328 C (Directive 92/69/EEC, A.15) Suitable extinguishing media: foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide, water spray Hazards during fire-fighting: carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides The substances/groups of substances mentioned can be released in case of fire. Protective equipment for fire-fighting: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-protective clothing. Further information: Collect contaminated extinguishing water separately, do not allow to reach sewage or effluent systems. Dispose of fire debris and contaminated extinguishing water in accordance with official regulations. In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Keep containers cool by spraying with water if exposed to fire. 6. Accidental release measures Personal precautions: Use personal protective clothing. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. Remove contaminated clothes, undergarments and shoes immediately. Environmental precautions: Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater. Do not discharge into the subsoil/soil.

3 Revision date : 2012/05/10 Page: 3/7 Cleanup: Cleaning operations should be carried out only while wearing breathing apparatus. Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with regulations. Collect waste in suitable containers, which can be labeled and sealed. Clean contaminated floors and objects thoroughly with water and detergents, observing environmental regulations. For small amounts: Pick up with suitable absorbent material (e.g. sand, sawdust, general-purpose binder, kieselguhr). For large amounts: Dike spillage. Pump off product. 7. Handling and Storage Handling General advice: No special measures necessary if stored and handled correctly. Ensure thorough ventilation of stores and work areas. Protection against fire and explosion: Substance/product is flammable. Vapours may form explosive mixture with air. Prevent electrostatic charge - sources of ignition should be kept well clear - fire extinguishers should be kept handy. Storage General advice: Keep away from heat. Protect from direct sunlight. Protect against moisture. Store protected against freezing. Storage incompatibility: General advice: Segregate from foods and animal feeds. Segregate from acids. Temperature tolerance Protect from temperatures below: 0 C The product can crystallize below the limit temperature. Protect from temperatures above: 30 C Changes in the properties of the product may occur if substance/product is stored above indicated temperature for extended periods of time. 8.
