4 FIRST AID MEASURES
Poisons Information Centre: Phone 131 126
Swallowed: If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons
Information Centre. Seek urgent medical assistance. If
swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting due to the hazard of
solvent aspiration into the lungs. Rinse mouth with water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Eye: Immediately hold the eyes open and wash continuously
for at least 10 minutes with fresh running water. Ensure
irrigation under eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and
lower lids. Seek medical advice. Removal of contact lenses
after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled
personnel.
Skin: Remove any contaminated clothing and flush area with
water. Wash the skin thoroughly with soap and water. Seek
medical attention in the event of irritation.
Inhaled: Remove from the source of vapour, spray or fumes.
Remove patient to open space or fresh air, rest patient, keep
warm and seek medical advice. Give artificial respiration if
breathing stops. Do not use direct mouth-to-mouth method if
victim ingested or inhaled the substance; use alternative
method or proper respiratory device. Provide oxygen if
required.
5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire/Explosion Hazard: GRAB Graffiti Remover is flammable.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Water fog, fine water spray, foam or
dry agent. Carbon dioxide and sand. Do not use water jets.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Firefighters should use self
contained breathing apparatus and protective gloves in case
of fire. In case of fire, the material can be violently or even
explosively reactive; wear appropriate protection gear. In case
of fire, prevent by any means possible spillage from entering
drains or water courses. Use water spray to cool containers.
Fire Fighting PPE: SCBA and structural fire fighter’s uniform
may provide limited protection. Fully encapsulating, gas-tight
suits should be worn for maximum protection.
Fire/Explosion/Decomposition Hazards: When heated to
decomposition, acrid smoke and fumes as well as CO and
CO² are emitted.
6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Shut off all possible sources of ignition. Ventilate the spillage
area thoroughly. Personnel involved in clean-up require
adequate skin, eye and respiratory protection. Pump the liquid
away and soak up the rest with an absorbent, non-flammable
material. Wash the contaminated area with water and detergent.
Prevent entry into waterways, drains or confined areas.
7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Storage and Transport: Keep the container tightly closed. Take
precautionary measures against static discharges. Store in a
cool, well-ventilated, low-fire risk area, away from sources of
heat or ignition. Keep away from strong oxidising agents. Keep
out of reach of children.
Reactivity Hazards: Thermal oxidative degradation products
include carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2).
