Universal Aerosol
INGESTION
Immediately rinse mouth and drink plenty of water or milk. Keep person under observation. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs,
keep head low. Transport immediately to hospital and take these instructions.
SKIN CONTACT
Use appropriate hand lotion to prevent defatting and cracking of skin. Immediately remove contaminated clothing. Wash off promptly and
flush contaminated skin with water. Promptly remove clothing if soaked through and flush skin with water.
EYE CONTACT
Make sure to remove any contact lenses from the eyes before rinsing. Promptly wash eyes with plenty of water while lifting the eye lids.
Get medical attention promptly if symptoms occur after washing.

5 FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Fire can be extinguished using: Water spray, fog or mist. Foam, carbon dioxide or dry powder. Dry chemicals, sand, dolomite etc. Do
not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES
Use pressurised air mask if product is involved in a fire. Cool containers exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out. Keep
run-off water out of sewers and water sources. Dike for water control.
UNUSUAL FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS
Aerosol cans may explode in a fire. If heated, volume and pressure increases strongly, resulting in explosion of container.

SPECIFIC HAZARDS
Aerosol containers can explode when heated, due to excessive pressure build-up.

PROTECTIVE MEASURES IN FIRE

Self contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.

6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet.

ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
Spillages or uncontrolled discharges into watercourses must be IMMEDIATELY alerted to the Environmental Agency or other appropriate
regulatory body.
SPILL CLEAN UP METHODS
Keep combustibles away from spilled material. Extinguish all ignition sources. Avoid sparks, flames, heat and smoking. Ventilate.
Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth and place into containers. Wash thoroughly after dealing with a spillage.

7 HANDLING AND STORAGE

USAGE PRECAUTIONS
Static electricity and formation of sparks must be prevented. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Avoid spilling, skin and eye
contact. Ventilate well, avoid breathing vapours. Use approved respirator if air contamination is above accepted level. Vapours are
heavier than air and may spread near ground to sources of ignition.
STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
Flammable/combustible - Keep away from oxidisers, heat and flames. Store in tightly closed original container in a dry, cool and
well-ventilated place. Keep in original container. Avoid contact with oxidising agents.
STORAGE CLASS
Flammable liquid storage.
