Hazardous Combustion Products:
During a fire, smoke may contain original material in addition to combustion roducts of varying composition which may be toxic and/or irritating.
Combustion products include nitrogen oxides, hydrogen chloride, phosgene, dependent on the intensity of the fire.         

Protection of Firefighters:
Wear protective clothing and use self-contained breathing apparatus.

Additional Information:
Keep containers cool by spraying with water. Contain runoff to prevent entry into water or drainage systems. Avoid breathing smoke. Work upwind of any spill.

Environmental precautions:
Do not wash into sewers or into any body of     water. Advise water authority if spillage has entered water course or drainage system.                      

Methods of cleaning up:
Soak up with sand or other non-combustible     absorbent material and place into containers for disposal.  For large spills, barricade area and consult manufacturer.  If further assistance is required, telephone the emergency contact number.

Storage: 
Product should be stored in compliance with     local regulations.  Store in a cool, dry, well- ventilated place in the original container.  Protect from excessive heat and cold.  Do not store near food, drink, animal feeding stuffs, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics or fertilisers.  Keep out of reach of children.

Engineering measures:
Good ventilation should be sufficient for most conditions. Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary fro some operations.

Respiratory protection:
For most conditions, no respiratory protection should be needed. However, when airborne exposure guidelines and/or comfort levels may be exceeded use an approved air-purifying respirator. For emergency conditions, use an approved positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus.

Hand/Skin protection:
For brief contact, no precautions other than clean body-covering clothing and chemical resistant gloves should be needed. Use chemical resistant gloves classified under standard EN 374: Protective gloves against chemicals and micro-organisms. Examples of preferred glove
barrier materials include: Nitrile. Polyvinyl chloride ("PVC" or "vinyl"). Neoprene. Avoid gloves made of: Natural rubber ("latex").

When prolonged or frequently repeated contact may occur, a glove with a protection class of 5 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 240 minutes according to EN 374) is recommended. When only brief contact is expected, a glove with a protection class of 3 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 60 minutes according to EN 374) is recommended. When prolonged or frequently repeated contact could occur or in emergency conditions, use protective clothing impervious to this material.

Eye/Face protection:
Use safety glasses.  Where contact with the liquid is likely, chemical goggles are recommended.

Conditions to avoid:
Avoid extremes of temperature.  Closed containers may explode due to pressure build-up when subjected to excessive heat or intense fire.

Materials to avoid:
Strong basic, acidic or oxidising materials.

Hazardous Decomposition Products:
None under normal conditions of storage and use.

Skin Contact:
The dermal LD50 for rats is >2000mg/kg. A single prolonged exposure is not likely to result in the material being absorbed through skin in harmful amounts.Short single exposure may cause skin irritation.

Sensitisation:
May cause skin sensitisation.

Eye Contact:
May cause slight eye irritation.

Inhalation:
No adverse effects anticipated by this route of exposure incidental to proper handling.
