Section 4: FIRST AID MEASURES

Description of First Aid measures:

General Advice: For advice contact the National Poisons Centre on 0800 POISON
(0800 764 766) or a doctor immediately. Begin artificial respiration if
the victim is not breathing. Use mouth to nose rather than mouth to
mouth. Obtain medical attention.

In case of skin contact: Take off all contaminated clothing immediately.

Wash off immediately with plenty of water.
If skin irritation persists, call a doctor.
Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.

In case of eye contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at leas
15 minutes.
Remove contact lenses (if present).
Immediate medical attention is required.

If swallowed: If swallowed seek medical advice immediately and show the container or
label.

Section 5: FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

Extinguishing media:
Suitable extinguishing media: Small fires:
Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon
dioxide.
Large Fires:
Alcohol resistant foam or water spray.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

Specific hazards during fire- As the product contains combustible organic components, fire will
fighting: produce dense black smoke containing hazardous products of
combustion (see section 10)
Exposure to decomposition products may be a hazard to health.
Flash back possible over considerable distance.
Advice for firefighters:
Special protective equipment for Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus.
firefighters:
Further information: Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.
Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water spray.

Section 6: ACCIDENTIAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Refer to protective measures listed in Sections 7 and 8.
Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak.
Beware of vapours accumulating to form explosive concentrations.

Section 8: EXPOSURE CONTROL / PERSONAL PROTECTION

Control Parameters
Occupational Exposure Limits:
Components CAS No Exposure limit Type of exposure Source
limit
Lufenuron 103055-07-8 5 mg/m3 8 h TWA Syngenta

Cyclohexanone 108-94-1 25 ppm, TWA WES

Exposure controls
Engineering measures: Containment and/or segregation is the most reliable technical
protection measure if exposure cannot be eliminated.
The extent of these protection measures depends on the actual risks in
use.
If airborne dust is generated, use local exhaust ventilation controls.
Assess exposure and use any additional measures to keep airborne
levels below any relevant exposure limit.
Where necessary, seek additional occupational hygiene advice.

MATCH Version 5 / 06.03.18

Personal Protective Protection:

Eye protection: If eye contact is possible, use tight-fitting chemical safety goggles and
a face shield.

Hand protection:
Material: Waterproof gloves, such as nitrile rubber
Break through time: >480 min
Glove thickness: 0.5 mm

Remarks: Chemical resistant gloves should be used.

Gloves should be certified to an appropriate standard.
The breakthrough time of gloves varies according to the thickness,
material and the manufacturer.
Gloves should be discarded and replaced if there is any indication of
degradation or chemical breakthrough.
Skin and body protection: Assess the exposure and select chemical resistant clothing based on
the potential for contact and the permeation / penetration
characteristics of the clothing material.
Wash with soap and water after removing protective clothing.
Decontaminate clothing before re-use or use disposable equipment
(suits, aprons, sleeves, boots, etc).
Wear as appropriate:
Impervious protective suit.

Respiratory protection: A combination gas, vapour and particulate respirator may be

necessary until effective technical measures are installed.
Protection provided by air-purifying respirators is limited.
Use a self-contained breathing apparatus in cases of emergency
spills, when exposure levels are unknown, or under any
circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide
adequate protection.

Protective measures: The use technical measures should always have priority over the use
of personal protective equipment.
When selecting personal protective equipment, seek appropriate
professional advice.
Personal protective equipment should be certified to appropriate
standards.
