First Aid Measures
General information: If you feel unwell, seek medical advice (show the label where possible). Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to protect themselves.
Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Call a physician if symptoms develop or persist.
Skin contact: Wash off with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.
Eye contact: Rinse cautiously with water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Most important symptoms/effects (acute and delayed): Prolonged exposure may cause chronic effects.
Medical attention and special treatment: Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically. Keep victim under observation. Symptoms may be delayed.
Firefighting Measures
General fire hazards: No unusual fire or explosion hazards noted.
Suitable extinguishing media: Powder, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide (COu2082).
Unsuitable extinguishing media: Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture: During fire, hazardous gases may be formed.
Protective equipment for firefighters: Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.
Special firefighting procedures: Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk. Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials.
Accidental Release Measures
For non-emergency personnel: Keep unnecessary personnel away. Do not breathe mist or vapour. See Section 8 for personal protection.
For emergency responders: Keep unnecessary personnel away. Use personal protection recommended in Section 8.
Environmental precautions: Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:
- Use water spray to reduce vapours or divert vapour cloud drift.
- Large spills: Stop the flow of material if this can be done without risk. Dike the spilled material where possible. Cover with plastic sheet to prevent spreading. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth and place in containers. After product recovery, flush area with water.
- Small spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination.
- Never return spills to original containers for re-use.
For personal protection, see Section 8. For waste disposal, see Section 13.
Handling & Storage
Precautions for safe handling: Provide adequate ventilation. Do not breathe mist or vapour. Avoid prolonged exposure. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Observe good industrial hygiene practices.
Conditions for safe storage (including incompatibilities): Store in original, tightly closed container. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10).
Specific end use(s): Compound, polishing cru00e8me, as identified in Section 1.
