Information pertaining to special dangers for human and environment
No hazardous product as specified in Directive 67/548/EEC.
Rapid evaporation of the liquid can cause cold burns.
Vapours are heavier than air and may cause asphyxiation due to oxygen displacement from the atmosphere.
Container under pressure. Protect from direct sunlight and temperatures above 50 ° C. Do not spray into flames or onto
glowing abjects.

Do not inhale explosion and/or combustion gases.
Additional information
Heat action leads to pressure increase - risk of aerosol can bursting
Remove the endangered containers or spray them with cold water
6. Accidentai release measures
Persona! precautions
Ensure adequate ventilation.
Gas/vapours are heavier than air. They may Accumulate in confined spaces, in particular at or below ground.
Keep people away and stay on the upwind side.
Avoid skin contact with running out liquid (risk of frostbites! ).
Environmental precautions
Do not discharge into the drains/surface waters/groundwater.
Methods for cleaning up
Allow to vaporise.
Take up with absorbent material.
7. Handling and storage
Advice on safe handling
Do not spray into a naked flame or any incandescent material.
Gare for thoroughly room ventilation, if necessary use in well ventilated area with-10-cal exhaust ventilation at workplace.-
Use only in well-ventilated areas.
Advice on protection against tire and explosion

Respiratory protection
Environment-independent breathing apparatus.
If ventilation insufficient, wear respiratory protection.
Hand protection
Low-temperature-resistant gloves
Glove material specification [make/type, thickness, permeation time/life, wetting resistance]: butyl rubber, 0,7mm;
480min; 60 min.
The protective gloves to be used must comply with the specifications of EC directive 89/686/EEC and the resultant
standard EN374.
The selection of a suitable glove depends and from manufacturer to manufacturer different not only on the material, but
also on further quality criteria.
