FIRST AID MEASURESG eneral Information: In general no treatment is needed, however obtain medical :Remove to fresh airSkin Contact:Remove contaminated clothing. Flush exposed area with water and follow bywashing with soap if availableEye Contact:Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes whileholding eyelids open. Transport to the nearest medical facility for :If swallowed, do not induce vomiting: transport to nearest medical facility foradditional treatment.

The vapor is heavier than air, spreads along the groundand distant ignition MediaAlcohol-resistant foam, water spray or fog. Dry chemical powder,carbon dioxide, sand or earth may be used for small fires only. Donot discharge extinguishing waters into the aquatic Extinguishing MediaDo not use water jetProtective Equipment for FirefightersWear all protective clothing and self-contained breathingapparatusAdditional AdviseKeep adjacent containers cool by spraying with water6.

4 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURESO bserve all relevant local and international regulationsPROTECTIVE MEASURESA void contact with spilled or released material. Immediately remove all contaminated clothing. For guidance on selection ofpersonal protective equipment see Section 8 of this MSDS. For guidance on disposal of spilled material see Section 13 of thisMSDS. Shut off leaks, if possible, without personal risk. Remove all possible sources of ignition in the surrounding area. Useappropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination. Prevent from spreading or entering drains, ditches or rivers by using,sand, earth, or other appropriate barriers. Attempt to disperse the vapor or to direct its flow to a safe location for example by usingfog sprays.

5 Take precautionary measures against static discharge. Ensure electrical continuity by bonding and grouping (earthing) allequipment. Monitor area with combustible gas : 2 SDS: GLYCOL ETHER DBCLEAN UP METHODSFor large spills (> 1 drum), transfer by mechanical means, such as vacuum truck, to a salvage tank for recovery or safe disposal. Donot flush away residues with water. Retain as contaminated waste. Allow residues to evaporate or soak up with an appropriateabsorbent material and dispose of safely. Remove contaminated soil and dispose of safely. For small liquid spills (< 1 drum),transfer by mechanical means to a labeled, sealable container for product recovery or safe disposal.

6 Allow residues to evaporate orsoak up with appropriate absorbent material and dispose of safely. Remove contaminated soil and dispose of it ADVISESee Section 13 for information on disposal. Notify authorities if any exposure to the general public or the environment occurs or islikely to HANDLING AND STORAGEG eneral Precautions:Avoid breathing of or contact with material. Only use in well ventilated areas. Wash thoroughly after handling. For guidance onselection of personal protective equipment see Section 8 of the MSDS. Use the information in this data sheet as input to a riskassessment of local circumstances to help determine appropriate controls for safe handling, storage and disposal of this :Handling temerature: AMBIENTS torage:Must be kept inhibited during storage and shipment as material can polymerize.

EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROECTIONO ccupational Exposure LimitsNone Information:Wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking and using ControlsThe level of protection and types of controls necessary will vary depending upon potential exposure conditions.

8 Select controlsbased on a risk assessment of local circumstances. Appropriate measures include: Adequate explosion proof ventilation to controlairborne concentrations below the exposure guidelines/limits. Eye washes and showers for emergency Protective Equipment:Personal protective equipment (PPE) should meet recommended national standards. Check with PPE Protection:If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations to a level which is adequate to protect workers health, selectedrespiratory protection equipment suitable for the specific conditions of use and meeting relevant legislation. Check with respiratoryprotective equipment suppliers.

9 Where air-filtering respirators are suitable, select an appropriate combination of mask and a filter suitable for organic gases and vapors [boiling point > 65oC (149oF)] meeting EN141. Where air-filtering respiratorsare unsuitable ( airborne concentrations are high, risk of oxygen deficiency, confined space) use appropriate positive pressurebreathing : 3 SDS: GLYCOL ETHER DBHand ProtectionLonger term protection: PVC. Nitrile rubber. Suitability and durability of a glove is dependent on usage, frequency and durationof contact, chemical resistance of glove material, glove thickness, and dexterity.
