2 Ingestion Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed General information Suitable extinguishing media Unsuitable extinguishing media Specific hazards arising from the chemical Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters Fire-fighting equipment/instructions Specific methods General fire hazards Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up Rinse mouth. If ingestion of a large amount does occur, call a poison control center immediately. Exposed individuals may experience eye tearing, redness, and discomfort. Skin irritation. May cause redness and pain. Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically. Keep victim under observation. Symptoms may be delayed. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves. 5. Fire Fighting Measures Water fog. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire. During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed. Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire. Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk. Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials. No unusual fire or explosion hazards noted. 6. Accidental Release Measures Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep out of low areas. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ensure adequate ventilation. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS. This product is miscible in water. Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Large Spills: Dike the spilled material, where this is possible. Cover with plastic sheet to prevent spreading. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth and place into containers. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas. Following product recovery, flush area with water. Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination. Environmental precautions Precautions for safe handling Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Never return spills to original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS. Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground. 7. Handling and Storage Avoid contact with skin. Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid prolonged exposure. Avoid contact with clothing. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Use care in handling/storage. Keep container tightly closed. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 1 of the SDS). 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Occupational exposure limits US. NIOSH: Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards Components Type 2,2',2''-Nitrilotrisethanol, coppersalt (CAS Biological limit values Appropriate engineering controls Value Form TWA 1 mg/m3 Dust and mist. No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s). Good general ventilation (typically 1 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Eye wash facilities and emergency shower must be available when handling this product. Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment Eye/face protection Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles). #21568 Page: 2 of 6

3 Skin protection Hand protection Other Respiratory protection Thermal hazards General hygiene considerations Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Not applicable. Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants. Appearance Physical state Form Color Odor Odor threshold Clear Liquid. Liquid.
