Section 4: First Aid Measures
General Advice
Take proper precautions to ensure your own health and saf ety bef ore attempting rescue and providing f irst aid.
Consult a physician. Show this saf ety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. Move out of dangerous area.
If Inhaled Remove person to fresh air. If signs/symptoms continue, get medical attention. Give oxygen or artif icial respiration as
needed.
In Case of Skin Contact Wash skin with soap and copious amounts of water. Seek medical attention.
In Case of Eye Contact
Thoroughly f lush the eyes with large amounts of clean low-pressure water f or at least 15 minutes, occasionally lif ting
the upper and lower eyelids. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
If Swallowed DO NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting does occur, have victim lean f orward to prevent aspiration. Rinse mouth with
water. Seek medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious individual.

Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures
Suitable Extinguishing
Media
SMALL FIRE: Use dry chemicals, CO2, water spray or alcohol-resistant f oam. LARGE FIRE: Use water spray, water f og
or alcohol-resistant f oam. Cool all af f ected containers with f looding quantities of water.
Special Hazards Arising
From the
Substance/Mixture
Carbon oxides expected to be the primary hazardous combustion product. May produce a f loating f ire hazard. Static
ignition hazard can result from handling and use. Vapors may settle in low and conf ined spaces. Vapors may travel to
source of ignition and f lash back.
Special PPE and/or
Precautions for Firefighters
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes. Keep unopened
containers cool by spraying with water.
Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precautions,
Protective Equipment and
Emergency Procedures
Do not inhale vapors, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to
saf e areas. Beware of vapors accumulating to f orm explosive concentrations. Vapors can accumulate in low areas.
Methods and Materials
Used for Containment Stop leak. Contain spill if possible and saf e to do so. Prevent product from entering drains.
Cleanup Procedures
Highly f lammable liquid. Eliminate all sources of ignition. All equipment used when handling this product must be
grounded. A vapor suppressing f oam may be used to reduce vapours. Do not touch or walk through spilled material.
Contain spillage, and then collect with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth,
vermiculite) and place container f or disposal according to local/national regulations. Use clean non-sparking tools to
collect absorbed material. Stop leak/contain spill if possible and saf e to do so. Prevent product from entering drains.
Section 7: Handling and Storage
Precautions for Safe
Handling
Do not get on skin or in eyes. Do not inhale vapor or mist. Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Take measures to prevent the buildup of electrostatic charge. Open and handle container with care. Metal containers
involved in the transf er of this material should be grounded and bonded.
Conditions for Safe Storage Keep container tightly closed in a cool, dry and well ventilated place. Containers which are opened must be caref ully
resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Consult local f ire codes f or additional storage inf ormation.
Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Components with
Workplace Control
Parameters
Component: Acetone Source: US (ACGIH) Type: TWA Value: 500 ppm . Component: Acetone Source: US (ACGIH) Type:
STEL Value: 750ppm
Appropriate Engineering
Controls
General room or local exhaust ventilation is usually required to meet exposure limit (s). Electrical equipment should be
grounded and conf orm to applicable electrical code. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and saf ety
practice. Wash hands bef ore breaks and at the end of workday.
PPE - Eye/Face Protection
Use chemical saf ety goggles and/or a f ull f ace shield where splashing is possible. Use equipment approved by
appropriate government standards, such as NIOSH (US) or EN166 (EU) Maintain eye wash f ountain and quick-drench
f acilities in work area.
PPE - Skin Protection
Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique (without touching
glove's outer surf ace) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves af ter use in accordance
with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands.
PPE - Body Protection
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron and coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent
skin contact. Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique (without
touching glove's outer surf ace) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves af ter use in
accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands.
PPE - Respiratory
Protection
Where risk assessment shows air-purif ying respirators are appropriate use a f ull-f ace respirator with multi-purpose
combination (US) or type ABEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator
is the sole means of protection, use a f ull-f ace supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and
approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
