SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES<br />
Do not use water jet.<br />
UNUSUAL FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS<br />
<strong>HYDRO</strong> <strong>LABEL</strong> V <strong>SERIES</strong><br />
As the product contains combustible organic components, fire will produce dense black smoke containing hazardous<br />
products of combustion (see section 10). Exposure to decomposition products may be a hazard to health. Appropriate<br />
self-contained breathing aparatus may be required. Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water spray. Do not allow<br />
run off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.<br />
PROTECTIVE MEASURES IN FIRE<br />
Wear self contained breathing apparatus.<br />
6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES<br />
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS<br />
Exclude non-essential personnel. Avoid inhalation of concentrated vapours/smoke Refer to protective measures listed in<br />
sections 7 and 8.<br />
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS<br />
Contain and collect spillages with non-combustible absorbetn materials e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite, diatomaceous earth<br />
and place in a suitable container for disposal in accordance with waste regulations (see section 13). Do not allow to enter<br />
drains, sewers or watercourses.<br />
SPILL CLEAN UP METHODS<br />
Clean area with a detergent- avoid the use of solvents.Collect in containers which can be sealed for disposal according to<br />
local authority regulations If the product enters drains or sewers, immediately contact the local water company; in case of<br />
contamination of streams, rivers or lakes, the relevant environmental agency.<br />
7 HANDLING AND STORAGE<br />
USAGE PRECAUTIONS<br />
Avoid concentrations higher than the occupational exposure limits (see section 8) Unless the container is specifically<br />
designed, never use pressure to empty: it is not a pressure vessel. Always keep containers made of the same material as<br />
the supply container. Good housekeeping standards and regular safe removal of waste materials will minimise the risks of<br />
spontaneous combustion and other fire hazards. Avoid spilling, skin and eye contact. Avoid inhalation of vapours and<br />
spray mists. Avoid eating, drinking and smoking when using the product. The Manual Handling Operations Regulations<br />
may apply to the handling of containers of this product. Refer to the guide weight indicated on the container when carrying<br />
out assessments.<br />
STORAGE PRECAUTIONS<br />
Keep containers tightly closed. Non-sparking tools should be used. Althought the storage of this product is not subject to<br />
specific statutory requirements, the principles contained in the HSE guidance note "storage of Flammable Liquids in<br />
containers" should be observed. Observe the label precautions. Store between 5 C and 25 C in a dry, well ventillated area<br />
away from heat, ignition and direct sunlight. No smoking. Prevent unauthorised access. Containers whcih are opened<br />
should be properly resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. The principles contained inthe HSE guidance note:<br />
Chemical Warehousing: The Storage of Packaged Dangerous Substances, should be observed when storing this product.<br />
Store separately from oxidising agents and strongly alkaline and strongly acidic materials.<br />
8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION<br />
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT<br />
ENGINEERING MEASURES<br />
Provide adequate ventilation. Where reasonably practicable this should be achieved by the use of local exhaust ventilation<br />
and good general extraction. If these are not sufficient to maintain concentrations of particulates and solvent vapour below<br />
the OEL, suitable respiratory protection must be worn.<br />
RESPIRATORY EQUIPMENT<br />
If exposure to hazardous substances identified cannot be controlled by the provision of local exhaust ventillation and good<br />
general extraction, suitable respiratory protective equipment should be worn.<br />

HAND PROTECTION<br />
<strong>HYDRO</strong> <strong>LABEL</strong> V <strong>SERIES</strong><br />
When skin exposure may occur, Nitrile or Teflon gloves should be used. The instrucitons and information provided by the<br />
glove supplier on use, storage, maintenance and replacement must be followed. Replace gloves immediately when torn or<br />
when any change in appearance (dimension, colour or flexibility) is noticed. Barrier creams may help to protect exposed<br />
areas of skin, but are not substitutes for full physical protection. They should not be applied once exposure has occurred.<br />
EYE PROTECTION<br />
Eye protection designed to protect against liquid splashes should be worn, especially during wash-ups.<br />
SKIN PROTECTION<br />
Cotton or cotton/synthetic overalls or coveralls (long-sleeved, covering up to the gloves) are normally suitable. Grossly<br />
contaminated clothing should be removed and the skin washed with soap and water or a proprietary skin cleaner. Do not<br />
use solvents or thinners as skin cleaning agents. Regular inspection of users of this product is recommended. Always<br />
wash you hands before eating, smoking or using the toilet.<br />
