Section 4: First Aid Measures |
For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre (Phone 131126)
or a doctor.
Swallowed: If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting.
Skin: If skin or hair contact occurs, remove contaminated
clothing and flush skin and hair with running water.
Eyes: If in eyes, hold eyelids apart and flush the eye
continuously with running water. Continue flushing
until advised to stop by the Poisons Information
Center or a doctor, or for at least 15 minutes.
Inhaled: Remove from exposure.
First Aid facilities:
Recommended: Eye wash. Hand wash basin.
Advice to Doctor:
Product is an aqueous solution of mixed surfactants. May cause
mild irritation in the eyes. If swallowed, vomiting should not
have been induced because of risk of aspiration of froth into the
lungs. Contact Poisons Information Centre.
Aggravated medical conditions:
Pre-existing skin disorders.

gloves for fire only.
|
Section 6: Accidental Release Measures |
Emergency Procedures:
Contain.
Prevent spillages from entering natural waters.
For large spills:
Contain spillage using sand or earth. Transfer liquid and solids
to suitable container. Treat residues as for small spillage.
For small spills:
If local regulations permit, mop up with plenty of water and run
to waste, diluting greatly with running water. Otherwise, absorb
on inert absorbent, transfer to suitable container and arrange
removal by disposals company. Wash site of spillage thoroughly
with water and detergent.
|
Section 7: Handling and Storage |
Precautions for safe handling:
Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Conditions for safe storage:
Store in a cool, well ventilated place, out of reach of children.

original container. Keep container tightly closed and out of
direct sunlight. Keep away from oxidising agents. Protect from
physical damage. Clean up all spills and splashes promptly; avoid
secondary accidents.
Incompatibles:
Oxidising agents, acids.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Personal protection to be
selected from those recommended below, as appropriate to mode of
use, quantity handled and degree of hazard:-
Normal Use:
Eye/face protection
Gloves, rubber or plastic.

Section 11: Toxicological Information |
Health Effects:
No data available for the mixture. Information presented
relates to individual ingredients.
Acute: Swallowed: Will cause gastric upset with nausea,
vomiting and diarrhoea.
An aspiration risk.
Skin: Will have a degreasing effects on the skin
which may lead to irritation on prolonged
contact.
Eyes: May be irritating to eyes.
Inhaled: An unlikely route owing to the low
volatility of ingredients.

swallowing or vomiting may lead to chemical
pneumonitis (irritation of lung tissues) and
pulmonary oedema (fluid build-up in the
lungs). Onset of symptoms may be delayed.
Chronic: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may lead to dry skin,
irritation and dermatitic effects.
