Report Date : 08/07/2015 3 / 9

TOLUENE

Unsuitable extinguishing media Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.

5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Hazardous combustion products Thermal decomposition or combustion may liberate carbon oxides and other toxic gases or vapours. Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards Forms explosive mixtures with air. Vapours are heavier than air and may spread near ground to sources of ignition. May travel considerable distance to source of ignition and flash back. HIGHLY FLAMMABLE! Specific hazards The product is flammable, and heating may generate vapours which may form explosive vapour/air mixtures. Vapours may form explosive air mixtures even at room temperature. Vapours may be ignited by a spark, a hot surface or an ember.

5.3. Advice for firefighters

Special Fire Fighting Procedures Keep up-wind to avoid fumes. If possible, fight fire from protected position. Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. Use supplied air respirator if product is involved in a fire. Cool containers exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out. 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. Ventilate closed spaces before entering them. Be aware of danger for fire to re-start. Protective equipment for fire-fighters Self contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.

SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet. Ensure suitable personal protection (including respiratory protection) during removal of spillages in a confined area. In case of inadequate ventilation, use respiratory protection. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Do not smoke, use open fire or other sources of ignition. Do not breathe vapour. Eye contact MUST be prevented by means of suitable personal protection equipment. Avoid inhalation of vapours and contact with skin and eyes. Provide adequate ventilation.

6.2. Environmental precautions

Do not discharge onto the ground or into water courses. Do not allow ANY environmental contamination. Never use water by itself on spillage; this will spread the spill and cause further contamination. Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground. Contain spillages with sand, earth or any suitable adsorbent material.

6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

If leakage cannot be stopped, evacuate area. Clean-up personnel should use respiratory and/or liquid contact protection. Wash thoroughly after dealing with a spillage. Extinguish all ignition sources. Avoid sparks, flames, heat and smoking. Ventilate. Absorb spillage with non-combustible, absorbent material. Cover large spillage with alcohol-resistant foam. Dam and absorb spillage with sand, earth or other non-combustible material. Runoff or release to sewer, waterway or ground is forbidden. Inform Authorities if large amounts are involved. Spillage may be stored as chemical waste in approved area. When dealing with a spillage, please consult the section relating to suitable protective measures. Do not contaminate water sources or sewer. Cover large spillages with foam.

6.4. Reference to other sections

For personal protection, see section 8. For waste disposal, see section 13.

SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE

7.1. Precautions for safe handling

Avoid spilling, skin and eye contact. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Static electricity and formation of sparks must be prevented. Storage tanks and other containers must be grounded. Protect electric equipment against sparking in case of risk of explosion. Wear full protective clothing for prolonged exposure and/or high concentrations. Contaminated rags and cloths must be put in fireproof containers for disposal. Always remove grease with soap and water or skin cleaning agent, never use organic solvents. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using the product. Container must be kept tightly closed. Do not use in confined spaces without adequate ventilation and/or respirator. Protect against direct sunlight.

7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Keep containers tightly closed. Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. Avoid contact with oxidising agents. Flammable/combustible - Keep away from oxidisers, heat and flames. Ground container and transfer equipment to eliminate static electric sparks. Keep in original container. Storage Class

Flammable liquid storage.

8.2. Exposure controls

Protective equipment

Process conditions Use engineering controls to reduce air contamination to permissible exposure level. Provide eyewash, quick drench. Engineering measures Provide adequate ventilation, including appropriate local extraction, to ensure that the defined occupational exposure limit is not exceeded. Explosion-proof general and local exhaust ventilation. Respiratory equipment If ventilation is insufficient, suitable respiratory protection must be provided. At work in confined or poorly ventilated spaces, respiratory protection with air supply must be used. Check that mask fits tight and change filter regularly. Hand protection Protective gloves must be used if there is a risk of direct contact or splash. Be aware that the liquid may penetrate the gloves. Frequent change is advisable. Eye protection

Wear splash-proof eye goggles to prevent any possibility of eye contact. If risk of splashing, wear safety goggles or face shield. Other Protection Use barrier creams to prevent skin contact. Provide eyewash station and safety shower. Wear appropriate clothing to prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact. Hygiene measures

Wash hands at the end of each work shift and before eating, smoking and using the toilet. Wash promptly if skin becomes wet or contaminated. Promptly remove any clothing that becomes wet or contaminated. Eating, smoking and water fountains prohibited in immediate work area. DO NOT SMOKE IN WORK AREA!
