4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Ingestion
Ingestion may cause nausea and vomiting. Do not induce vomiting, obtain medical attention.
Inhalation
None envisaged due to the low vapour pressure of the substance.
Skin Contact
Contact with skin may cause slight irritation. Wash with soap and water.
Eye Contact
Contact with eyes may cause slight irritation. Irrigate with copious amounts of water.
Other Information
No other special treatment required.
5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing equipment
Carbon dioxide, dry powder, foam or water fog. Do not use water jets.
HAZCHEM
Combustion products include fluorine compounds, such as hydrogen fluoride.
Special protective equipment and precautions for fire fighters
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Spilt product constitutes a slip hazard. Avoid contact with eyes.
Environmental precautions
No special precautions required.
Methods and materials for containment and clean up
Can be wiped from surfaces and residues cleaned with water and detergent.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling
No special precautions required
Conditions for safe storage
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure Standards
Engineering controls
At ambient temperature grease has very low volatility, so development of fumes is highly unlikely. At temperatures approaching 300°C, if thermal decomposition occurs, hydrogen fluoride, carbonyl difluoride and other toxic fumes may be released. Eye washes should be available for emergency use.
Personal protective equipment
Eye and face protection
Safety glasses with side-shields tested and approved under appropriate government standards.
Skin protection
Wash hands after use. For prolonged or repeated skin contact gloves are recommended.
Body protection
Not available
Respiratory protection
None required.
