Specific chemical identity and/or exact percentage (concentration) of the composition has been withheld to protect confidentiality.

SECTION 4) FIRST-AID MEASURES

Inhalation
Remove source of exposure or move person to fresh air, keep comfortable for breathing and keep warm. Eliminate all ignition sources if
safe to do so. If breathing laboured and patient cyanotic (blue), ensure airways are clear and have a qualified person give oxygen through
a facemask. If breathing has stopped apply artificial respiration at once. IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention. In the
event of cardiac arrest, apply external cardiac massage. Call a POISON CENTER/doctor if you feel unwell.
Eye Contact
Rinse eyes cautiously with lukewarm, gently flowing water for several minutes, while holding the eyelids open. Remove contact lenses, if
present and easy to do. Continue rinsing for a duration of 15-20 minutes. Take care not to rinse contaminated water into the unaffected
eye or onto the face. If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention.
Skin Contact
Take off immediately all contaminated clothing, shoes and leather goods (e.g. watchbands, belts). This material, or a component of the
material, can be absorbed through the skin with resultant toxic effects. Wash with plenty of lukewarm, gently flowing water for a duration of
15-20 minutes. For gross contamination, immediately drench with water and remove clothing. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use
or discard. IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention. If swelling, redness, blistering, or irritation occurs seek medical

assistance. For skin burns, cover with a clean, dry dressing until medical help is available.
Ingestion
Rinse mouth. Give a glass of water to drink. Do NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs naturally, give further water. IF exposed or
concerned: Get medical advice/attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person. Call a POISON
CENTER/doctor if you feel unwell.
Most Important Symptoms and Effects, Both acute and Delayed
No data available.
Indication of Any Immediate Medical Attention and Special Treatment Needed
Treat symptomatically.

SECTION 5) FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

Suitable Extinguishing Media

Small Fire: Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, water-spray or alcohol-resistant foam. Carbon dioxide can displace oxygen. Use caution
when applying carbon dioxide in confined spaces.
Large Fire: Water spray, fog or alcohol-resistant foam.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media
Do not use straight stream of water.
Specific Hazards in Case of Fire
Extremely flammable aerosol. Containers may explode in fire. Cylinders exposed to fire may vent and release toxic gas through pressure
relief devices. Flameproof equipment necessary in area where this chemical is being used. ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking,
flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). Nearby equipment must be earthed. Ruptured cylinders may rocket. Electrical requirements
for work area should be assessed according to AS3000. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. May form flammable
vapour mixtures with air.
Fire-fighting Procedures
Isolate immediate hazard area and keep unauthorized personnel out. Stop spill/release if it can be done safely. Move undamaged
containers from immediate hazard area if it can be done safely. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out.
Caution should be exercised when using water or foam as frothing may occur, especially if sprayed into containers of hot, burning liquid.
Dispose of fire debris and contaminated extinguishing water in accordance with official regulations. Do not allow contaminated
extinguishing water to enter the soil, ground-water or surface waters. Damaged cylinders should be handled only by specialists.
Special Protective Actions
Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Structural firefighters' protective clothing provides limited protection in
fire situations ONLY; it is not effective in spill situations where direct contact with the substance is possible.

SECTION 6) ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Emergency Procedure
Isolate hazard area and keep unauthorized personnel away. Stay uphill and/or upstream. Ventilate closed spaces before entering.
ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). Do not walk through released material. All
equipment used when handling the product must be grounded.
Recommended Equipment
Wear chemical protective clothing and positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
Personal Precautions
DO NOT breathe gas, vapor or mist.
DO NOT get on skin, eyes or clothing.
Do not touch damaged containers or spilled materials unless wearing appropriate protective clothing.
Environmental Precautions
Stop spill/release if it can be done safely. Prevent spilled material from entering sewers, storm drains, other unauthorized drainage
systems and natural waterways by using sand, earth, or other appropriate barriers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has
caused environmental pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air). Neutralization may be required before discharging sewage into treatment
plants. Suppress aerosol with water spray jet.
Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning up
Ventilate area after clean-up is complete. Rinse away with water. For large spills: absorb with vermiculite, dry sand, earth, or similar inert
material and deposit in sealed containers for disposal. Use clean, non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material. Dispose of
contaminated materials according to federal, state and local regulations.

SECTION 7) HANDLING AND STORAGE

General
Wash hands after use.
Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing.
Do not breathe vapors, mists or aerosols.
Use good personal hygiene practices.
Eating, drinking and smoking in work areas is prohibited.
All containers must be properly labelled.
Eyewash stations and showers should be available in areas where this material is used and stored.
Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.
Ventilation Requirements
Use only with adequate ventilation to control air contaminants to their exposure limits. The use of local ventilation is recommended to
control emissions near the source. Report ventilation failures immediately.
Storage Room Requirements
Store gas cylinders separately, away from processing and handling areas, and from incompatible materials. Eliminate all sources of
ignition. Protect containers against banging or other physical damage when storing, transferring, or using them. Keep containers securely
sealed when not in use, check regularly for leaks. Store at temperatures above their respective freezing/melting point, do not expose to
temperatures exceeding 50 °C/122 °F. Empty containers retain residue and may be dangerous. Store in dry, well-ventilated, cool areas,
out of direct sunlight and away from incompatible materials and other sources of heat.

SECTION 8) EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Eye protection
Wear safety glasses with side shields.
Skin Protection
Always seek advice from glove suppliers. Contaminated gloves should be replaced. Use of an apron and over- boots of chemically
impervious materials such as neoprene or nitrile rubber. The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration
and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace. Use of gloves approved to relevant standards made from the following
materials may provide suitable chemical protection: PVC, neoprene or nitrile rubber gloves. Suitability and durability of a glove is
dependent on usage, e.g. frequency and duration of contact, chemical resistance of glove material, glove thickness, dexterity.
Respiratory protection
If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations to a level which is adequate to protect worker, a respiratory protection
program that meets or is equivalent to AS/NZS 1715 and AS/NZS 1716 should be followed. Check with respiratory protective equipment
suppliers. If risk of inhalation exists wear organic vapor/particulate respirator.
Appropriate Engineering Controls
Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors below their respective threshold
limit value. An asphyxiant gas which can lead to the reduction of oxygen concentration by displacement or dilution. The minimum oxygen
content in air should be 18% by volume under normal atmospheric pressure.
