Eye contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of running water (for 10 minutes), seek medical attention from a specialist. Ingestion: Rinse the mouth. Drink plenty of water. Immediate medical advice necessary. 5. Fire fighting measures Suitable extinguishing media: carbon dioxide, foam, powder, water spray jet, fine water spray Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons: High pressure waterjet Special protection equipment for firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear protective equipment. In case of fire, keep containers cool with water spray. Personal precautions: Ensure adequate ventilation. Keep away from sources of ignition.

Nitromors All Purpose Paint & Varnish Remover - Dichloromethane Free Page 3 of 7 Clean-up methods: Remove with liquid-absorbing material (sand, peat, sawdust). Dispose of contaminated material as waste according to item 13. 7. Handling and storage Handling: Ventilate working rooms thoroughly. Avoid naked flames, sparking and sources of ignition. Switch off electrical devices. Do not smoke, do not weld. Do not empty waste into waste water drains. Take measures to prevent the build-up of electrostatic charges. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Store in sealed original container. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place. Do not store together with food or other consumables (coffee, tea, tobacco, etc.). 8. Exposure controls / personal protection Components with specific control parameters for workplace: Valid for Great Britain Ingredient ppm mg/m 3 Type Category Remarks DIMETHOXYMETHANE 1.250 3.950 Short Term Exposure 109-87-5 Limit (STEL): DIMETHOXYMETHANE 1.000 3.160 Time Weighted Average 109-87-5 (TWA). METHANOL 200 266 Time Weighted Average (TWA). METHANOL 250 333 Short Term Exposure Limit (STEL): METHANOL Skin designation: Can be absorbed through the skin. PARAFFIN WAX, FUME 2 Time Weighted Average 8002-74-2 (TWA). PARAFFIN WAX, FUME 8002-74-2 6 Short Term Exposure Limit (STEL): Engineering controls: Draw off vapours directly at the point of generation and exit. In the case of regular work, provide bench-mounted extraction equipment. Ventilate working rooms thoroughly. Avoid naked flames, sparking and sources of ignition. Switch off electrical devices. Do not smoke, do not weld. Do not empty waste into waste water drains. Respiratory protection: In the event of exposure over short periods of time or to small amounts use repiration filter device. Use a prespiratory protection apparatus which is independent of circulating air in the case of more protracted exposure. Hand protection: For shorttime contact (e.g. as protection against splashes) protective gloves made from nitrile rubber are recommended according to EN 374. In case of full contact protective gloves made from butyl rubber are recommended according to EN 374. material thickness > 0.7 mm Perforation time > 10 minutes In the case of longer and repeated contact please note that in practice the penetration times may be considerably shorter than those determined according to EN 374. The protective gloves must always be checked for their suitability for use at the specific workplace (e.g. mechanical and thermal stress, product compatibility, antistatic effects, etc.). The gloves must be replaced immediately at the first signs of wear and tear. The information provided by the manufacturers and given in the relevant trade association regulations for industrial safety must always be observed. We recommend that a hand care plan is drawn up in cooperation with a glove manufacturer and the trade association in accordance with the local operating conditions.
