4 FIRST AID MEASURES

Poisons Information Centre: Phone 131 126

Swallowed: If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Keep at

rest. Seek immediate medical attention.

Eye: Immediately hold the eyes open and wash continuously

for at least 15 minutes with fresh running water. Ensure

irrigation under eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and

lower lids. Seek immediate medical attention.

Skin: Remove any contaminated clothing and shoes and flush

skin with water and soap, if available. Seek medical attention

in the event of irritation.

Inhaled: Remove to fresh air, rest patient and seek medical

attention if necessary. Give artificial respiration if breathing

stops. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult.

Advice to Doctor: Treat symptomatically. Avoid gastric lavage:

risk of aspiration of product to the lungs with the potential to

cause chemical pneumonitis. Do not wait for symptoms to

develop. General measures should be taken to control

acidosis and maintain urine output.

5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Fire/Explosion Hazard: Cool Tide is highly flammable.

Fire Extinguishing Media: Use alcohol-resistant foam, or, if

unavailable, water fog or fine mist.

Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Use water to cool exposed

containers. Spills and leaks may be washed with copious

volumes of water, fog or spray.

Fire Fighters‟ PPE: SCBA and structural fire fighter‟s uniform

may provide limited protection. Fully-encapsulating, gas-tight

suits should be worn for maximum protection.

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Burns with a colourless

flame. The vapour is heavier than air and may travel along

the ground; distant ignition and flash back are possible. Run

off to sewers and drains may cause explosions. Isolate for at

least 800 metres in all directions if tanks or tankers are

involved. The use of compressed air for filling, discharging,

mixing or handling is prohibited due to vapour hazard. All

vessels must be earthed to avoid generation of static charges

when agitating or transferring solvents. Containers previously

holding ethanol products must be degassed before entry or

subjected to sources of ignition, refer AS 1940.

Hazardous Decomposition Products: Burning can produce

carbon dioxide and/or carbon monoxide, water and hydrogen

gas.

6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Eliminate all sources of ignition – no smoking. Take

precautionary measures against static discharges. Stop and

contain the spill for salvage or absorb in inert absorbent

material for disposal by an approved method. Wash the

cleaned up area with copious volumes of water to remove any

trace amounts of product; ethanol mixes completely with water.

Ventilate area well and ensure adequate personal protection as

above.

7 HANDLING AND STORAGE

Safe Handling: Cool Tide is highly flammable. Do not open

near naked flame, sources of heat or ignition. Handle

containers with care. Open slowly to control possible

pressure release. Material will accumulate static discharge.

Use grounding leads to avoid electrical discharge/spark.

Storage and Transport: Store in tightly-closed containers in

cool dry, isolated, well-ventilated areas away from heat,

sources of ignition and incompatibles. Do not eat, drink or

smoke in areas of use and storage. Do not weld, heat, cut or

pressurise containers.

Flammability: Observe State Regulations concerning the

storage and handling of Dangerous Goods. Store with all

precautions for handling flammable liquids. The requirements

of Australian Standards AS 1940 – The Storage and

Handling of Flammable and Combustible Liquids should be

observed. All electric equipment, including lighting, used in

proximity to storage of this product, and all electrical process
