3. Hazards Identification
The product catches fire easily, if it is exposed to a ignition source, with a temperature under 21°C, as well.
The product containes a liquefied gas that catches fire with extreme ease, even at temperatures below 0°C.
If brought into contact with the skin, the product causes appreciable inflammation, with erythema, scabs, and oedema.
Canister under pressure. The container exposed to a temperature > 50°C can deform and explode.
The inhalation in quantities to high is asphyxiating.
 
4. First Aid Measures
Contact with skin

Immediately take off all contaminated clothing. Areas of the body that have - or are only even suspected of having - come into contact with the product must be rinsed immediately with plenty of running water and possibly with soap.

5. Fire Fighting Measures
Recommended extinguishers In case of fire, use... CO2, Foam, Chemical powders, according to the materials involved in the fire. NEVER USE WATER.
Extinguishers not to be used None in particular.
Risks arising from combustion Avoid inhaling the fumes. Combustion may form toxic gas.
Protective equipment Use protection for the respiratory tract. Cool the containers exposed to the fire with water.
Explosion Hazard The aerosol container explodes if overheated and can be thrown over a big distance.
 
6. Accidential Release Measures
Measures for personal safety Use a mask, gloves and protective clothing.
Environmental measures

Limit leakages with earth or sand. Eliminate all unguarded flames and possible sources of ignition. Do not smoke. If the product has escaped into a water course, into the drainage system, or has contaminated the ground or vegetation, notify the competent authorities.
Cleaning methods

Rapidly recover the product. To do so, wear a mask and protective clothing. If the product is in a liquid form, stop it from entering the drainage system.
