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.

low, but if effects occur, remove patient to fresh air, rest
patient and seek medical advice if necessary. Give artificial
respiration if breathing stops.
5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire/Explosion Hazard: Poultice Paste is combustible.
Flash Point:(kerosene): 39 deg C (COC)
Fire Extinguishing media: Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide or
foam.
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.
Special fire-fighting procedures: Use water to cool exposed
containers. If a leak or spill has ignited, use water spray to
disperse the vapours and to protect men attempting to stop a
leak. Water spray may be used to flush spills away from
exposures. Prevent run off from entering waterways. Minimise
breathing gases, vapour, fumes or decomposition products.
Use supplied-air breathing equipment for enclosed areas.
Unusual fire hazards: None
Hazardous products of combustion: Thermal decomposition in a
large fire may yield carbon dioxide and/or carbon monoxide
and/or hydrocarbons.
6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Eliminate all sources of ignition. Ventilate area well. Clean up all
spills immediately. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Contain
spill for salvage or absorb in inert absorbent material. Place in a
suitable, labelled container for waste disposal.
