3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Flammable
As this material has a low flash point any spillage should be considered as a potential fire hazard.
Spray application increases the fire, and possible explosion, hazard.
Harmful if swallowed – aspiration hazard.
Likely to cause skin irritation.
4. FIRST – AID MEASURES
Eyes Wash eye thoroughly with copious quantities of water, ensuring eyelid are held open.
Obtain medical advice if any pain or redness develops or persists.
Skin Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water as soon as reasonably practicable.
Remove heavily contaminated clothing and wash underlying skin.
Ingestion If contamination of the mouth occurs, wash out thoroughly with water.
Except as a deliberate act, the ingestion of large amounts of product is unlikely.
If it should occur, do not induce vomiting; obtain medical advice.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
For major fires call the Fire Service, Ensure an escape path is always available from the fire.
There is a danger of flashback if sparks or hot surfaces ignite vapour.
Use foam, dry powder, AAAF, CO². DO NOT USE water jets.
Avoid spraying directly into storage containers because of the danger of boil-over.
FIRES IN CONFINED SPACES SHOULD BE DEALT WITH BY TRAINED PERSONNEL WEARING APPROVED BREATHING APPARATUS.
Water may be used to cool nearby heat exposed areas/objects/packages.
Combustion Products
Toxic fumes may be evolved on burning or exposure to heat.
See Stability and Reactivity, Section7 of the Safety Data Sheet.

7. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY Conditions to Avoid
Stable at ambient temperatures.
Hazardous polymerisation reactions will not occur.
Materials to Avoid
Avoid contact with strong oxidising agents.
Hazardous Decomposition Products
Thermal decomposition can produce a variety of compounds, the precise nature of which will depend on the decomposition conditions.
Complete combustion / thermal decomposition will generate smoke, carbon dioxide and hazardous gases, which will include carbon monoxide.
8. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Mobility
Spillages may penetrate the soil causing ground water contamination.
Persistence and degradability
This product is inherently biodegradable.
Bioaccumulative potential
There is no evidence to suggest bioaccumulation will occur.
Aquatic toxicity
May be harmful to aquatic organisms.
Spills may form a film on water surfaces causing physical damage to organisms.
9. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Dispose of via an authorised person / licensed waste disposal contractor in accordance with local regulations.
Dispose of product and container carefully and responsibly.
Do not dispose of near ponds, ditches, down drains or on to soil.
Empty packages may contain some remaining product.
Hazard warning labels are a guide to the safe handling of empty packaging and should not be removed.
