4. First aid measures.

EYES: Irrigate copiously with clean, fresh water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical advice. SKIN: Wash immediately with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before using them again. INHALATION: Remove to open air. If breathing is irregular, seek medical advice. INGESTION: Obtain immediate medical attention. Induce vomiting only if indicated by the doctor. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

5. Fire-fighting measures.
GENERAL INFORMATION Use jets of water to cool the containers to prevent product decomposition and the development of substances potentially hazardous for health. Always wear full fire prevention gear. Collect extinguishing water to prevent it from draining into the sewer system. Dispose of contaminated water used for extinction and the remains of the fire according to applicable regulations. SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA The extinction equipment should be of the conventional kind: carbon dioxide, foam, powder and nebulised water. EXTINGUISHING MEDIA WHICH SHALL NOT BE USED FOR SAFETY REASONS None in particular. HAZARDS CAUSED BY EXPOSURE IN THE EVENT OF FIRE Do not breathe combustion products (carbon oxide, toxic pyrolysis products, etc). SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIRE-FIGHTERS Hardhat with visor, fireproof clothing (fireproof jacket and trousers with straps around arms, legs and waist), work gloves (fireproof, cut proof and dielectric), a depressurised mask with facemask covering the whole of the operators face or a self-respirator (self-protector) in the event of large quantities of fume.

6. Accidental release measures.

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS Eliminate all sources of ignition (cigarettes, flames, sparks, etc.) from the leakage site. If there are no contraindications, spray solid products with water to prevent the formation of dust. Use breathing equipment if fumes or powders are released into the air. Block the leakage if there is no hazard. Do not handle damaged containers or the leaked product before donning appropriate protective gear. For information on risks for the environmental and health, respiratory tract protection, ventilation and personal protection equipment, see the other sections of this sheet. ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS The product must not penetrate the sewers, surface water, ground water and neighbouring areas. METHODS FOR CLEANING UP Use inert absorbent material (sand, vermiculite, diatomeous earth, Kieselguhr, etc.) to soak up leaked product. Collect the majority of the remaining material and deposit it in containers for disposal. If there are no contraindications, use jets of water to eliminate product residues. Make sure the leakage site is well aired. Contaminated material should be disposed of in compliance with the provisions set forth in point 13.

7. Handling and storage.

Store in a well ventilated place, keeping the containers closed when not used. Do not smoke while handling. Keep far away from sources of heat, bright flames and sparks and other sources of ignition.

8.2 Exposure controls.

In order to minimize exposure as far as possible, it is strongly recommended to use adequate individual protective measures, such as: masks suitable for the product, goggles, gloves and overall. Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling it. Wash hands accurately with soap and water before meals and at the end of the work shift.

Diethylene glycol hygroscopic. butyl ether may react with oxidizing agents. When heated to decomposition, it emits acrid and irritant fumes. It is

11. Toxicological information.

This product may cause serious ocular lesions, cornea opacity, iris lesions, irreversible eye coloration. Butyl diglycol: can be absorbed by inhalation, ingestion and skin contact; it is irritant to the skin and especially to the eyes; spleen damage may occur. Inhalation is unlikely to occur at room temperature due to the low vapour tension of the substance.

12. Ecological information.

Use this product according to good working practices. Avoid littering. Inform the competent authorities, should the product reach waterways or sewers or contaminate soil or vegetation.

13. Disposal consideration.

Consider the possibility of burning the product in a suitable incenerator. Acid or basic products must always be neutralized before undergoing any treatment, including biological treatment whenever feasible. If the waste is solid, it can be disposed of in a landfill.
