FIRST AID MEASURES Eyes Immediately flood the eye with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, holding the eye open. Obtain medical attention if soreness or redness persists. Skin Immediately flood the skin with large quantities of water, preferably under a shower. Remove contaminated clothing and continue washing . Contaminated clothing should be washed or drycleaned before re-use. Obtain medical attention if blistering occurs or redness persists. Ingestion Do not induce vomiting. Have victim drink 1-3 glasses of water to dilute stomach contents. If there is difficulty in breathing, give oxygen. Obtain medical attention immediately. Inhalation Remove from exposure. If there is difficulty in breathing, give oxygen. Obtain medical attention immediately. Advice to Physicians Monitor for systemic secondary effects on liver and kidney; support and treat. MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Acationox SDG005 1.00 US EA MSDS_SDG MSDS_SDG Page 3 of 8 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Extinguishing Media Use foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Be aware of the possibility of re-ignition. Keep containers and surroundings cool with water spray. Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards Vapors can travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flashback. Flashback can occur if air temperature exceeds flash point. Be aware of possibility of re-ignition. Protective Equipment for Fire-Fighting Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Contain and absorb using earth, sand or other inert material. Transfer into suitable containers for recovery or disposal. Wear appropriate protective clothing. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Vapors can accumulate in low areas. Consider need for evacuation. Prevent the material from entering drains or water courses. Notify authorities if spill has entered water course or sewer or has contaminated soil or vegetation. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Use in well ventilated area. Use local exhaust ventilation. Avoid inhaling vapor. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Store away from sources of heat or ignition. Storage area should be: - cool - dry - well ventilated - away from incompatible materials 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Occupational Exposure Standards Isopropyl alcohol UK EH40: OES 400ppm (980mg/m3) 8h TWA. UK EH40: OES 500ppm (1225mg/m3) 10min TWA. ACGIH: TLV 400ppm (980mg/m3) 8h TWA. ACGIH: STEL 500ppm (1225mg/m3) 15min TWA. OSHA: PEL 400ppm (980mg/m3) 8h TWA. Can be absorbed through skin. Polyethylene Polypropylene Glycols None assigned. Engineering Control Measures Good general room ventilation is expected to be adequate to control airborne levels. MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Acationox SDG005 1.00 US EA MSDS_SDG MSDS_SDG Page 4 of 8 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Respiratory Protection Respiratory protection if there is a risk of exposure to high vapor concentrations.
