4 FIRST AID MEASURES
If Inhaled – Remove person to fresh air; If not breathing give artificial respiration.
If Skin Contact – Wash off with soap and plenty of water.
If eye Contact – Flush eyes with copious amounts of water.
If swallowed – Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed by medical personnel,
never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth with water. In case of
persistent symptoms consult doctor
5 FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
5.1 Extinguishing media: Appropriate extinguishing media:
Use fire fighting measures that suit the environment – Dry chemical,
foam, water spray, carbon dioxide.
Unsuitable extinguishing media:
Water stream may splash the burning liquid and spread fire
5.2 Advice for fire-fighters: Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus.
6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
6.1 Personal precautions, For non-emergency personnel:
protective equipment and Eliminate all sources of ignition. If outside do not approach from
emergency procedures: downwind. If outside keep bystanders upwind and away from danger
point. Mark out the contaminated area with signs and prevent access to
unauthorised personnel. Turn leaking containers leak-side up to
prevent the escape of liquid. Be aware of higher risk of slipping
For emergency responders:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear protective clothing to
prevent contact with skin and eyes.
6.2 Environmental Do not allow product to enter drainage systems, surface water or
precautions: ground water.

6.3 Methods and materials 6.3.1 Spill containment:
for containment and Absorb by use of liquid binding material (sand, diatomite, acid binder,
cleaning up: universal binder, sawdust).
6.3.2 Spill clean-up:
Pick up small spills with adsorbent materials and dispose of properly
to avoid spontaneous combustion. Recover large sipills for alvage or
disposal. Wash hard surfaces with safety solvent or detergent to
remove remaining oil film. Greasy nature will result in a slippery
surface.
6.4 Reference to other Please refer to Section 8 of this Safety Data Sheet for information on
sections: exposure controls and personal protection and Section 13 for
information on disposal considerations.
7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
7.1 Precautions for safe Do not eat, drink or smoke in work areas; and remove contaminated
handling: clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.
7.2 Conditions for safe Avoid open flames. Store in cool, well ventilated area. Keep away
storage, including any from sources of ignition. Keep container tightly closed. Keep away
incompatibilities: from oxidizing agents, excessive heat, and ignition sources.
7.3 Specific end use(s): No special measures required. No industry or sector specific guidance
is available.
8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/ PERSONAL PROTECTION
8.1 Control parameters: No relevant control limits
8.2 Exposure Controls: 8.2.1 Appropriate engineering controls:
No relevant engineering controls
8.2.2 Individual protection measures:
Not required if the product is used appropriately. The usual
precautionary measures should be adhered to. If vapours or mists are
generated, wear a NIOSH approved organic vapour/mist respirator.
Safety glasses, goggles, or face shield recommended to protect eyes
from mists or splashing. PVC coated gloves recommended to prevent
skin contact. Employees must practice good personal hygiene,
washing exposed areas of skin several times daily and laundering
contaminated clothing before re-use.
8.2.3 Environmental exposure controls:
Do not allow undiluted product or large quantities of it to reach
ground water, water bodies or sewage system. Biodiesel degrades
within 2 – 3 weeks.
