SECTION 4 – FIRST AID MEASURES
Swallowed: In the unlikely event that a wipe is swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Give water, or a 20-50 millilitres of an edible mineral oil. Get medical attention immediately.
Eye: Rinse eye with water for 15 minutes, whilst lifting eyelid. Get medical attention if effects persist.
Skin: Wash with soap and water.
Inhaled: Move individual to fresh air. Seek medical attention if effects persist. Restore and/or support breathing as required.
First-Aid Facilities: Eye wash plus normal washroom facilities nearby.
Advice to Doctor: Treat symptomatically.
SECTION 5 – FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Hazards From Combustion Products: Flammable solvent within each wipe sachet. Hazardous combustion products may be toxic and or irritating fumes / compounds. Never use sources of ignition near the container. Fire decomposition products include carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical foam.
Fire-fighting Procedures: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Do not release run-off to sewers or waterways. Vapours are heavier than air and may travel a long distance to an ignition source and flashback.
Hazchem Code: Not applicable.
SECTION 6 – ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spill / Leak Procedures: Eliminate sources of ignition. Prevent from entering sewer, drains or other bodies of water. Absorb spill with vermiculite and place in a sealed, labelled container for disposal.
SECTION 7 – HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling Advice: Avoid prolonged skin contact. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not get into eyes. Do not swallow. Avoid breathing vapours.
Storage Advice: Store in a cool (<25°C), well-ventilated area away from sources of ignition, heat, sparks, flames and strong oxidising agents.
SECTION 8 – EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure Standards:
- Dipropylene Glycol Methyl Ether: TWA 50 ppm (308 mg/m³)
- Isoparaffin C10-C11: TWA 300 ppm (manufacturer's recommendation)
- Isopropyl Alcohol: TWA 400 ppm (983 mg/m³), STEL 500 ppm (1230 mg/m³)
Engineering Controls: Provide good general ventilation. Keep separate from ignition sources.
Personal Protection: Avoid prolonged skin contact and avoid breathing vapours. Wash thoroughly after handling. DO NOT get into eyes. DO NOT swallow. Where many wipes are to be used consecutively, it may be advisable to wear solvent resistant gloves (e.g. nitrile rubber) and eye protection.
SECTION 9 – PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Appearance and Odour: Polyester-rayon wipe material impregnated with a colourless liquid with a slight paraffinic & perfume odour. The individual wipes are contained in foil sachets and supplied in boxes of 50 wipes.
Melting Point / Boiling Point: MP: Not determined, BP: 76°C (solvent)
Vapour Pressure: 10 mmHg at 20°C (solvent in the wipe)
Vapour Density (Air=1): Not determined.
SECTION 10 – STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Stability: Stable at room temperature.
Conditions to Avoid: Heat and ignition sources.
Incompatible Materials: Avoid contact with strong oxidising agents.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrocarbons.
Hazardous Polymerisation: Will not occur.
SECTION 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Acute Effects:
- Swallowed: Not a likely route of exposure. If swallowing did occur, it may cause gastrointestinal irritation, dizziness, low blood pressure, kidney damage.
- Eye: May cause eye irritation by direct liquid contact with the eye. The vapour at room temperature will not be sufficient to cause any health problems. Soft contact lenses may concentrate irritants.
- Skin: Prolonged skin contact or repeated exposure is not likely to cause significant skin irritation unless there was a pre-existing skin disorder. Symptoms may include redness, drying and cracking.
- Inhaled: Not directly harmful if inhaled. Hot vapours or mists may cause upper respiratory tract irritation and asthma-like conditions.
Chronic Effects: Chronic or repeated exposure may cause conjunctivitis of the eye, respiratory tract irritation, and defatting of the skin, leading to irritation and dermatitis.
