Hazards Identification
First Aid Measures
General
Keep affected person away from heat, sparks and flames.
Inhalation
Remove victim immediately from source of exposure. Move the exposed person to fresh air at once. Perform artificial respiration if breathing has stopped. When breathing is difficult, properly trained personnel may assist by administering 100% oxygen. Keep the affected person warm and at rest. Seek prompt medical attention.
Ingestion
Rince mouth thoroughly. Do not induce vomiting. Never make an unconscious person vomit or drink fluids. Remove victim immediately from source of exposure. Provide rest, warmth and fresh air. Seek medical attention immediately. If there is difficulty breathing, give oxygen. If breathing stops or shows signs of failing, apply artificial respiration.
Skin
Remove affected person from source of contamination. Remove contaminated clothing. Wash the skin immediately with plenty of water. Seek medical attention promptly if symptoms occur after washing. Continue washing skin or at least 20 minutes. Obtain medical attention if blistering occurs or redness persists.
Eyes
Promptly wash eyes with plenty of water while lifting the eyes .Make sure to remove any contact lenses from eyes prior to rinsing. Continue for at least 20 minutes. Get medical attention urgently.
Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media
Do not use water jet.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures
Keep run-off water out of sewers and water sources. Dike for water control. Avoid water in straight hose stream, will scatter and spread fire. Use water spray to reduce vapours. If risk of water pollution occurs, notify appropriate authorities. Water may be ineffective but use to keep fire-exposed containers cool. In case of fire, wear self contained breathing apparatus.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards
Extremely flammable. May explode in a fire.
Hazardous Decomposition Products
Fire creates: Oxides of: Carbon.
Protective Measures in Fire
Wear suitable respiratory protection when dealing with a fire.
Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precautions During Spill
Wear appropriate protective clothing and respiratory protection. Acoid breathing vapour. Ensure good ventilation. Repeated exposure can cause skin dryness and cracking. Vapour may cause drowsiness and dizziness.
Precautions to Protect Environment
Do not let the product or washing down water enter natural water courses or the sewers.
Spill Cleanup Methods
Extinguish all ignition sources. Avoid sparks, flames, heat and smoking. Ventilate. Provide ventillation and confine spill. Do not allow runoff to sewer. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth and place into containers.
Handling and Storage
Usage Precautions
Ventilate well, avoid breathing vapours. Use approved respirator if air contamination is above accepted level. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Keep container tightly closed when not in use.
Storage Precautions
Flammable/combustible - Keep away from oxidizers, heat and flames. May attack some plastics, rubber and coatings. Keep in cool, dry, ventilated storage and closed containers. Ground container and transfer equipment to eliminate static electric sparks.
Storage Criteria
Flammable liquid storage. Suitable storage materials are: mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium and its alloys, copper and its alloys. Do not store in certain plastics.

| Ingredient Name | Cas No. | STD | LT Exp (8 hours) | ST Exp (15 mins) |
| Acetone | 67-64-1 | OES | 500 ppm (sk) | 1500 ppm (sk) |
Protective Equipment
Use approved safety goggles or face shield. Use long-sleeved protective gloves made from butyl rubber.
Ventilation
Provide adequate general and local exhaust ventilation.
Protective Gloves
Use protective gloves made of Butyl rubber. Use gloves with long sleeves. Ensure gloves are manufactured/tested in accordance with BS EN 374. Determined penetration times carried out in accordance with EN374 part III ar enot performed under practical conditions. Therefore a maximum wearing time corresponding to 50% of the penetration time is recommended.
Eye Protection
If risk of splashing, wear safety goggles or face shield. Ensure safety glasses conform to EN166.
Other Protection
Use engineering controls to reduce air contamination to permissible exposure level. Provide eyewash station and safety shower. Wear apprpriate clothing to prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact. Wear air-supplied mask in confined areas. Use respiratory protection if there is a risk of high vapour concentrations.
Hygienic Work Routines
Wash at the end of each work shift and before eating, smoking and using the toilet. Wash promptly if skin becomes wet or contaminated. Do not smoke in work area. Isolate contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.
