4. FIRST AID MEASURES Cont…

Ingestion: If large quantities are ingested obtain medical attention. Give lukewarm water if
completely conscious but do not induce vomiting, the risk of damage to the
lungs exceeds the poisoning risk.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Sand, Foam, Dry Powder or Carbon Dioxide. Water spray should be
used to keep containers cool in the event of a fire.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Water Jet.
Special Exposure Hazards: Heat may rupture pressurised containers releasing combustible liquid
and vapour. Use water spray/fog to cool.
Special Protective Equipment: Self -contained breathing apparatus if fire is in a confined space.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal Precautions: Extinguish or turn off all sources of ignition, obtain protective
respirator, gloves, goggles or face mask.
Environmental Precautions: Stop release. Contain spill with suitable boom or absorbent granules.
Prevent escape to drains or sewers. Report any escape into drains to
fire and water authorities.
Decontamination Procedures: Contained large spills may be pumped (not electric) into suitable
containers. Small spills may be absorbed using suitable granules.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling: Minimise skin contact by use of Nitrile or similar gloves. Wear chemical goggles or
other similar eye protection. Do not use near sources of ignition. No smoking.
Storage: Store in ventilated covered storage areas, out of direct sunlight and do not expose to
temperatures above 50°C

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Take measures to prevent 1. Contact with eyes and skin.
2. Inhalation risk from vapour build-up.
Exposure Control Limits and Source:
(i) Butane TLV 800ppm (8 hour TWA)
(ii) LPG Liquid Petroleum Gas. PEL and TLV, 1000ppm (8 hour TWA)
(iii) Oil Mist PEL and TLV (8 hour TWA) 5mg/cu.m.
TLV (STEL 15mins) 10mg/cu.m.
TLV - Threshold Limit Values ACGIH.
PEL. Limits for Air Contaminants, OSHA Regulations 29CFR 1910.1000 Table Z1

Respiratory Protection: Ensure good ventilation. Absorbent masks or respirators will be required if
mist or vapour build up occurs.

Ingestion: Suppliers Data for Rat Oral LD50 indicates no significant hazard by this route.
Small amounts of liquid aspirated into the respiratory system during ingestion or from
vomiting may cause bronchopneumonia or pulmonary oedema.
Inhalation: Vapour concentrations above recommended exposure levels may be irritating to the
eyes and respiratory tract and may cause headaches and dizziness.
Skin Contact: Frequent or prolonged contact may cause defatting leading to drying and cracking of
the skin.
Eye Contact: Irritating but no reported injury to eye tissues.

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Environmental Mobility: Liquid has low solubility and floats. Liquid has a potential to partition to
the sediment, and can migrate from water to the land.
Environmental Degradability: Liquid can degrade rapidly in air.
Liquid biodegrades rapidly and is "readily" biodegradable according to
OECD guidelines.
Ecotoxicity: No acute toxicity to aquatic organisms is expected at the maximum
water solubility of this material. Long term adverse effects to aquatic
organisms are not expected.

13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS

Ensure conformity to local disposal regulations.
Likely Residues or Waste Products: Product with dissolved contaminants.
