Potential Risks 

Risk Of Explosion 

The solvents contained in anticorrosion agents (such as underfloor protective coatings, cavity wax, engine compartment wax) are flammable, and may combust in an explosion if sprayed onto hot, glowing components or open flames.

Risk Of Poisoning 

Inhaling spray and solvent vapors can lead to damage to the respiratory paths and lungs. This is indicated by symptoms of poisoning such as headache, breathing difficulty, nausea and unconsciousness.

With underfloor protection, the following dangers also occur:

• Risk of liver and kidney damage.
• Central nervous system disorders, loss of consciousness.
• When these substances burn they produce toxic gases with a noxious odor; these gases are dangerous in high concentrations.

Risk Of Injury 

If anticorrosion agents come in contact with the eyes they can cause severe eye damage.

In the event of frequent or prolonged contact with the skin, these substances can lead to inflammation of the skin because of its degreasing properties.

Safety Instructions/Precautions 

• Always remove all PVC undefloor protection and PVC seam sealer  from the respective areas before performing any welding or soldering work. This also applies for work such as cutting, sanding or similar work.
• When removing damaged body panels use "cold" separating methods where possible. With these methods, smoke and toxic fumes are avoided.
• Do not expose containers to direct sunlight or to temperatures over 50°C.
• Always maintain the prescribed application pressure.
• Never spray corrosion protection agents into flames or onto hot objects; keep well away from all potential sources of ignition, and do not smoke.
• Take precautions to avoid electrostatic charge.
• Avoid all contact with eyes and skin.
• Wear tight-fitting safety glasses and solvent-resistant gloves.
• Work in well ventilated areas only; wear respiratory protection.
• If clothing becomes soaked or contaminated, remove and wash it immediately.
• Keep well away from food and drinks.
• Seal containers tightly and store them in a well-ventilated area.

First-Aid Measures 

In case of contact with eyes

• Rinse thoroughly with water and consult an eye doctor immediately.

  In case of ingestion

• Take medicinal activated charcoal; do not induce vomiting; consult a physician immediately.

  In case of inhalation

• Move affected person to fresh air, have the person lie down and remain calm, avoid strenuous activity.

  In case of contact with skin

• Immediately wash with soap and water, apply protective skin ointment.

Fire Protection Measures 

Rescue, extinguishing and cleanup operations in areas contaminated by fumes or sulfuric gases should only be undertaken by individuals wearing respiratory protection. Do not inhale fumes or gases set free during explosion.

Suitable Extinguishing Agents: 

• Indirect water spray
• Foam
• Extinguishing powder
• Carbon dioxide

Non-Suitable Extinguishing Agents: 

• Direct high-pressure water spray
