4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
6.2 Environmental : Avoid dispersal of spilt material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains
precautions and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental
pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air). Water polluting material. May be harmful
to the environment if released in large quantities. Collect spillage.
7.2 Conditions for safe : Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original container protected from
storage, including any direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible
incompatibilities materials (see Section 10) and food and drink. Store locked up. Keep container
tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been opened must
be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabelled
containers. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.

PNECs - Not available.
10.3 Possibility of : Under normal conditions of storage and use, hazardous reactions will not occur.
hazardous reactions
10.4 Conditions to avoid : When exposed to high temperatures may produce hazardous decomposition
products.
Refer to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8.
10.5 Incompatible materials : Keep away from the following materials to prevent strong exothermic reactions:
oxidising agents, strong alkalis, strong acids.
10.6 Hazardous : Decomposition products may include the following materials: carbon monoxide,
decomposition products carbon dioxide, smoke, oxides of nitrogen.
Exposure to component solvent vapour concentrations in excess of the stated occupational exposure limit may result in
adverse health effects such as mucous membrane and respiratory system irritation and adverse effects on the kidneys,
liver and central nervous system. Symptoms and signs include headache, dizziness, fatigue, muscular weakness,
drowsiness and, in extreme cases, loss of consciousness.
Solvents may cause some of the above effects by absorption through the skin. Repeated or prolonged contact with the
mixture may cause removal of natural fat from the skin, resulting in non-allergic contact dermatitis and absorption
through the skin.
If splashed in the eyes, the liquid may cause irritation and reversible damage.
Ingestion may cause nausea, diarrhea and vomiting.
This takes into account, where known, delayed and immediate effects and also chronic effects of components from
short-term and long-term exposure by oral, inhalation and dermal routes of exposure and eye contact.
