— Always read the label or leaflet before use and follow all the instructions provided.

— Respect the conditions of use of the product (concentration, contact time, temperature, pH, etc.)

PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES DURING STORAGE AND TRANSPORT:

Keep in a well-ventilated place. The product as supplied may evolve gas (largely carbon dioxide) slowly. To prevent the buildup of pressure the product is packaged in specially vented containers, where necessary. Keep this product in the original container when not in use. Container must be stored and transported in an upright position to prevent spilling the contents through the vent, where fitted.

— Skin contact: Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash contaminated skin with water. Contact poison treatment specialist if symptoms occur.

— Eye contact: Immediately flush with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Check for and remove any contact lenses if easy to do. Continue to rinse with tepid water for at least 30 minutes. Call 112/ambulance for medical assistance.

— Ingestion: Wash out mouth with water. Contact poison treatment specialist. Seek medical advice immediately if symptoms occur and/or large quantities have been ingested. Do not give fluids or induce vomiting.

— Inhalation (of spray mist): Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Seek medical advice immediately if symptoms occur and/or large quantities have been inhaled.

— In case of impaired consciousness place in recovery position and seek medical advice immediately.

— Keep the container or label available.

— Do not discharge unused product on the ground, into water courses, into pipes (e.g. sink, toilets) nor down the drains.

— Dispose of unused product, its packaging and all other waste, in accordance with local regulations.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Keep in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place, in the original container.

— The biocidal product shall be used for treatment of products (articles/mixtures) distributed only to professional users.

— The maximal products concentration used for the preservation of functional fluids (hydraulic fluids, antifreeze, corrosion inhibitors, etc…) being above the threshold value of 15 ppm, exposure has to be limited by use of PPE, protecting skin and mucous membranes potentially exposed, and application of technical and organisational RMM: — Minimisation of manual phases; — Use of a dosing device; — Regular cleaning of equipment and work area; — Good standard of general ventilation; — Training and management of staff on good practice.

See general directions for use.
