2. Hazards Identification
Emergency overview

Signal word: Colour: Appearance: State of matter: Odour: Health: Physical/Chemical hazards:
Potential health effects

CAUTION: ! colourless emulsion liquid mineral oil-like Contact causes eye irritation, Contact causes skin irritation. Spills are very slippery.

Primary routes of entry: Skin, Eyes, Inhalation, Ingestion Chronic exposure: CAUSES EYE IRRITATION. Repeated or prolonged skin contact can cause drying and cracking of the skin. Vapors may irritate eyes and respiratory tract, and result in headacheor dizziness. Acute exposure to petroleum distillate vapour may cause dizziness, drowsiness, headache, nausea, and irritation of the respiratory tract. Prolonged and repeated exposure may cause central nervous system damage, as well as heart and blood disorders. Aspiration of petroleum distillates may cause chemical pneumonitis.

Revision date : 05.07.2010 Version: 1.2 ALCOHOLS, (C=12-14)-SECONDARY, ETHOXYLATED This product is WHMIS controlled. 84133-50-6 Page: 2/6 (30481548/SDU_GEN_CA/EN) 1.0 - 5.0 % Y

4. First-aid Measures
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air, if not breathing give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen and get immediate medical attention. Skin: After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water and soap. Get medical attention if irritation occurs. If clothing is contaminated, remove and launder before reuse. Eyes: Immediately flush the eye(s) with lukewarm, gently flowing water for 15 minutes or until the chemical is removed. Get immediate medical attention if irritation persists. Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs naturally, have casualty lean forward to reduce the risk of aspiration. Seek medical attention immediately.

5. Fire-fighting Measures
Suitable extinguishing media: carbon dioxide, dry powder, foam Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: If water is used, restrict pedestrian and vehicular traffic in areas where slip hazard may exist. Hazardous combustion products: Carbon and nitrogen oxides. Hazards during fire-fighting: Standard procedure for chemical fires. Cool fire-exposed containers with water. Protective equipment for fire-fighting: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-protective clothing.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Cleanup: Wear suitable protective equipment. Pick up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, earth etc.). Place into approved waste containers. Should not be released into the environment.
