Remove all contaminated clothes and footwear immediately unless stuck to skin. Drench the affected skin with running water for 10 minutes or longer if substance is still on skin. Eye contact:Bathe the eye with running water for 15 minutes. Consult a doctor. Ingestion:Do not induce vomiting. Consult a doctor. Inhalation:Remove casualty from exposure ensuring one's own SAFETY whilst doing so. If unconscious, check for breathing and apply artificial respiration if necessary. Consult a doctor. If unconscious and breathing is OK, place in the recovery position. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayedSkin contact:There may be irritation and redness at the site of contact. Eye contact:There may be irritation and pain. Ingestion:low toxicity if swallowed There may be soreness and redness of the mouth and throat.

5 Inhalation:There may be irritation of the throat with a feeling of tightness in the chest. Delayed / immediate effects:Immediate effects can be expected after short-term exposure. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment neededImmediate / special treatment:Show this SAFETY data SHEET to the doctor in attendance. In case of shortness of breath, give oxygen. A decontamination shower should be available on the premises. Eye bathing equipment should be available on the premises. Section 5: Fire-fighting Extinguishing mediaExtinguishing media:Carbon dioxide. Dry chemical powder. Alcohol resistant foam. Water fog. General purpose synthetic foams are preferred. [ ] SAFETY data SHEETDVB 80 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixtureExposure hazards:Toxic. In combustion emits toxic fumes of carbon dioxide / carbon monoxide. Container may rupture upon polymerisation Advice for fire-fightersAdvice for fire-fighters:Wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

6 Wear protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes. Contain fire water if possible. Section 6: Accidental release Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency proceduresPersonal precautions:Refer to section 8 of SDS for personal protection details. Eliminate all sources of ignition. If outside do not approach from downwind. Mark out the contaminated area with signs and prevent access to unauthorised personnel. Mechanically ventilate the spillage area whilst avoiding the formation of explosive concentrations - see section 9 of SDS. Do not attempt to take action without suitable protective clothing - see section 8 of SDS. Environmental precautionsEnvironmental precautions:Do not discharge into drains or rivers. Contain the spillage using bunding. Inform the authorities in case of spillage entering the sewers or water courses. Methods and material for containment and cleaning upClean-up procedures:Absorb into dry earth or sand. Avoid all incompatible materials in clean-up procedure - see section 10 of SDS.
