SECTION III- IDENTIFICATION OF HAZARDS

TOXIC EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE/ CONTACT :

SKIN CONTACT : May irritate skin on prolonged or repeated contact.
EYE CONTACT : May cause slight irritation to eyes.
INHALATION : Vapours can cause irritation of mucous membrane, nausea, headache and
dizziness.
INGESTION : Harmful.
DELAYED EFFECTS: Not reported.

SECTION IV- FIRST AID MEASURES

SKIN CONTACT : Flush skin with plenty of water while removing contaminated clothes. Wash
contaminated clothes before reuse.
EYE CONTACT : Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Consult
Physician if irritation persist.
INHALATION : Move the subject to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
respiration is difficult, give Oxygen and seek help from Physician.
INGESTION : Immediately give two glasses of water to drink. Do not induce vomiting. Never
give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a Physician.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: There is no specific antidote. Treatment should be given symptomatically on
the clinical conditions.

SECTION V - FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD OF MATERIAL

FIRE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA : Material will not burn, however dried film may burn. Use Water,
Foam, Dry Chemical Powder, CO2 to extinguish the fire.
THERMAL DECOMPOSITION PRODUCT : May yield acrid smoke and irritating gases with oxides of
carbon and organic fragments.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURE : Suggested to wear self contained breathing apparatus or
equivalent [MSHA/ NIOSH - approved].
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPOLSION HAZARDS : Emulsion will not burn. They may spatter if the
temperature exceeds boiling point. Dried polymer films are capable of burning.

 SECTION VI - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS : Use personal protective equipment & handling listed under sections
sections
VII & VIII
ENVIRONMENT PRECAUTIONS : Review fire and safety precautions before proceeding with clean
up. Use appropriate personal protective equipment during clean up. Keep
spectators away. Dike and contain spill with an inert [e.g. sand, earth, etc.]
absorbent. Collect the absorbed material in plastic bag for final disposal.
Transfer liquid to container for recovery or disposal. Emulsion can be
coagulated by stepwise addition of lime and Ferric Chloride or Ferric Sulphate
up to a water clear end point. Keep spill out of sewers and open bodies of
water.
CLEANING METHODS : Wash floor with water. Contaminated diking material may be incinerated or
land filled according to current local or central regulation.

SECTION VII- HANDLING AND STORAGE

HANDLING PROCEDURE: Use appropriate personal protective equipment [PPE] during handling.
Protect against physical damage. Observe good hygiene practices.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS : Store at ambient temperatures. Keep away from freezing if
temperaturee is too low. Keep container tightly closed when not in use.
Maintain good housekeeping.

HAND PROTECTION : Impervious (rubber, neoprene, pvc, etc.) hand gloves, aprons.
RESPIRATION PROTECTION : None required if good ventilation in the area is maintained.
Otherwise suggested to wear MSHA/NIOSH approved respirator
where vapour concentrations is more.
OTHERS : Eye wash facility and emergency shower.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS : Not specific.
