After ingestion: Give one to several glasses of water to drink and refer to medical personnel or take direction from either a physician or a poison control center.

5. Fire fighting measures

Flash point: > 200.1 F (> 93.4 C) no information

Flammable/Explosive limits: Lower limits: Not determined. Upper limits: Not determined. Suitable extinguishing media: Water Spray Foam. Carbon dioxide. Dry Chemical Unusual fire or explosion hazards: None known Hazardous combustion products: Carbon dioxide., carbon monoxide, Sulphur oxides Additional fire fighting advice: In case of fire, keep containers cool with water spray. If a spill or leak has not ignited, use water spray to disperse the vapors. Water spray may be used to flush spills away from fire.

6. Accidental release measures

Personal precautions: Wear adequate personal protective clothing and equipment. Environmental precautions: Add dry material to absorb spill (if large spill, dike to contain).

11. Toxicological information

Acute oral toxicity: LD50 > 2000 mg/kg body weight Skin irritation: irritating Eye irritation: irritating

12. Ecological information

Acute fish toxicity: LC50 > 10 - <= 100 mg product/l. (analogy) Acute bacterial toxicity: EC0 > 100 mg product/l. (analogy) Primary degradation: According to the requirements of the EU Mandatory Standards for Detergents 82/242 (nonionic surfactants) and 82/243/EEC(anionic surfactants) the surfactants contained in the products are biodegradable to at least 90% on average. Ultimate biodegradation: Readily and rapidly degradable. All organic substances contained in the product achieve > 60% BOD/COD or CO2 liberation, or > 70% DOC reduction in tests for ease of degradability. Threshold values for 'readily degradable' (e.g. to OECD method 301) are reached. (analogy)

13. Disposal considerations

Waste disposal of product: Avoid landfilling liquids. Reclaim where possible. All recovered material should be packaged, labeled, transported, and disposed or reclaimed in conformance with applicable laws and regulations and in conformance with good engineering practices.
