Unsuitable Extinguishing Media

Do not use water jet.

Special Hazards of Product

Containers may explode in heat of fire. This product may give rise to hazardous fumes in a fire.

Protective Equipment for Fire-Fighting

Wear self contained breathing apparatus.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal Precautions

Eliminate all sources of ignition. Ventilate the area. Material can create slippery conditions underfoot.

Environmental Precautions

Try to prevent the material from entering drains or water courses. Advise Authorities if spillage has entered water course or sewer or has contaminated soil or vegetation.

Spillages

Allow to evaporate if it is safe to do so or contain and absorb using earth, sand or other inert material. Transfer into suitable containers for recovery or disposal.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Occupational Exposure Standards

HYDROCARBON AEROSOL PROPELLANT (<0.1% 1,3 BUTADIENE)

Occupational exposure standards for significant components are:

UK EH40: OES 1750mg/m3 8h TWA. UK EH40: OES 2180mg/m3 15min TWA. (LPG)

UK EH40: OES 1450mg/m3 8h TWA. UK EH40: OES 1810mg/m3 15min TWA. (Butane)

The minimal atmospheric oxygen concentration should be 18% by volume under normal atmospheric pressure.

HEPTANE

An exposure limit of 285ppm (1200mg/m3) 8h TWA is recommended.

ACETONE

UK EH40: OES 750ppm 8h TWA. UK EH40: OES 1500ppm 15min TWA.

Engineering Control Measures

Exposure to this material may be controlled in a number of ways. The measures appropriate for a particular worksite depend on how the material is used and on the potential for exposure. Use of the basic principles of Industrial Hygiene will enable this material to be used safely.

Respiratory Protection

Respiratory protection if there is a risk of exposure to high vapour concentrations.

Hand Protection

Use a good quality barrier cream.

Eye Protection

Chemical goggles if there is a risk of eye contact.

Body Protection

Normal work wear.

Protection During Application

During application, adequate ventilation must be provided.
