Health Information

Engineering controls.

Follow normal good industrial hygiene and chemical precautions, particularly in respect of flammability.

Use in ventilated areas and provide flame proof artificial ventilation if required to maintain concentrations below Xylene exposure Standard of 350 g/m3(TWA) 655 mg/m3(STEL) or 100ppm.

Keep sparks and ignition sources away from product and application area during application, as product is flammable.

Health Advice

ADVICE TO DOCTOR:

Treat symptomatically.

Swallowed: Ingestion could cause irritation and burning sensation.

Eye: Irritation and burning. Long-term exposure can cause damage.  Grit can scratch eyes.

Skin: Irritation, burning sensation. Solvent can dry skin. Long term can lead to skin cracking.

Inhaled: Irritation with asthma like syptoms.  It is unlikely that product would be inhaled due to it's viscosity. Inhaled matter is likely to be xylene.

FIRST AID

Swallowed: Do not induce vomiting. Give milk or water to drink. Seek urgent medical advice.

Eye: Flush eye with copious amounts of clean water, lifting eye lid to ensure product is flushed from under the lid. Get medical attention.

Skin: Remove contaminated clothing. Wipe product off skin. Wash skin with soap and water. Apply moisturising cream.

Inhaled: Remove person to fresh air. If breathing stops apply artificial respiration. Seek urgent medical attention.

PERSONAL PROTECTION

The use of solvent resistant gloves, coveralls and goggles (against splashes) are recommended.

If spraying the use of suitable breathing mask is recommended.  If spraying in confined areas self contained breathing apparatus is recommended.

Keep flame, sparks and sources of ignition away from uncured product. Vapours may collect in low-lying areas.

Ensure ventilation, either natural or artificial, is present to disperse vapours.

Safe Handling Information

Storage/handling: Store away from flame and ignition sources. Keep cool, dry and away from direct sunlight.

Spills: Remove sources of ignition. Prevent spills from entering drains and waterways. Absorb with sand or oil absorbing material. Discard to suitable landfill in accordance with local regulation. Product will solidify after contact with water or atmospheric moisture.

Disposal: Shovel into drums, incinerate or land tip in accordance with local regulation.

Fire/Explosion: Product contains Xylene.

Containers should be kept cool with water spray to prevent pressure build-up. Burning product may produce dense irriating smoke. Heat may cause cans to rupture.

Ingress of moisture will cause the product to begin curing relasing CO2 and may result in an increase in the pressure of the containers.
