3 FIRST AID MEASURES: EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes. Hold eyelids open while flushing the eyes. Do not apply neutralizing agents. Take victim to an ophthalmologist. INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention immediately. INGESTION: If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Give victim lots of water or milk. Get medical attention immediately. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person. SKIN CONTACT: Wash immediately with PE-glycol 400. Wash immediately with lots of water (15 minutes)/shower. Remove clothing while washing. Do not remove clothing if it sticks to the skin. Cover wounds with sterile bandage. Consult a doctor/medical service. If burned surface is greater than 10%: take victim to hospital.

5 SUPPLEMENTAL HEALTH INFORMATION: The effects of long-term, low-level exposure to this product have not been determined. Safe handling of this material on a long-term basis should emphasize the avoidance of all effects from repetitive acute exposures. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES: EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire. SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Gloves. Face-shield. Corrosion-proof suit. Large spills/in enclosed spaces: compressed air apparatus. Large spills/in enclosed spaces: gas-tight suit. Reactivity hazard: compressed air/oxygen apparatus. Reactivity hazard: gas-tight suit. Mark the danger area. No naked flames. In case of hazardous reactions: keep upwind. In case of reactivity hazard: consider evacuation. Large spills/in confined spaces: consider evacuation.

6 Wash contaminated clothes. UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Reaction with explosion hazards: See reactivity hazard. REACTIVITY: Decomposes on exposure to temperature rise: release of (highly) toxic gases/vapours (chlorine). On exposure to air: release of corrosive mist. Reacts violently with (some) bases. Reacts exothermically with many compounds. Reacts with (strong) oxidizers: release of (highly) toxic gases/vapours (chlorine). Reacts with (some) metals: release of highly flammable gases/vapours (hydrogen). 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES: STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS SPILLED OR RELEASED: Use personal protective equipment. Avoid breathing vapours, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains.

7 Discharge into the environment must be avoided. Liquid spill: neutralize with soda (sodium carbonate). Neutralized substance: take up in absorbent material. Scoop absorbed substance into closing containers. Damaged/cooled tanks must be emptied. Carefully collect the spill/leftovers. Take collected spill to manufacturer/competent authority. Clean contaminated surfaces with an excess of water. Wash clothing and equipment after handling. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE: PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE: Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation of vapour or mist. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Protect from freezing. Use good personal hygiene when handling this product.

8 Wash hands after use, before smoking, or using the toilet. Follow all SDS/label precautions even after container is emptied because it may retain product residues. OTHER PRECAUTIONS: For industrial and institutional use only. Keep away from children. Keep containers closed while not in use. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION: PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Wear a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator appropriate for vapor concentration at point of use. If the exposure limit is exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, Gas mask with filter type B. Gas mask with filter type E. High vapour/gas concentration: self-contained respirator. VENTILATION: Local exhaust sufficient to keep exposure below TLV. WORK/HYGENIC PRACTICES: Use good personal hygiene when handling this product.

9 Wash hands after use, before smoking, or using the toilet. EYE PROTECTION: Use chemical SAFETY goggles and/or full face shield when splashing is possible. Contact lenses should not be worn when working with this material. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work areas PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Neoprene or nitrile rubber or other impervious material with gauntlets. OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIP: Boots, apron, or coveralls of impervious material as appropriate to prevent skin contact. ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eye wash facility and SAFETY shower.
