SAFETY DATA SHEET

1 - IDENTIFICATION OF THE PREPARATION AND OF THE COMPANY
IDENTIFICATION OF THE PREPARATION

DECAPAGE or DEGREASER ST (code: 10006)

CLEANING & DEOXIDISING (code: DPR 5055)
MAIN USE OF THE PREPARATION
This solution is used at ambient temperature with the selective brush plating process to degrease ferrous metals, nickel
and alloys before plating. It is sometimes used for degreasing aluminium alloys but is not recommended on cuprous
metals.
As the brush process is applied locally without immersion of the part, just where it is necessary, only small quantities of
solution are stored or used.

4 - FIRST AID MEASURES

CONTACT WITH SKIN
Take off contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash immediately with plenty of water, even without any burning sensation.
Take a shower if necessary.
CONTACT WITH EYES
Rinse immediately with plenty of water for approximately 15 minutes, even without pain. Always seek medical advice.
INHALATION
Theoretically, not applicable. Under abnormal conditions of use causing considerable inhalation, remove the casualty
from the contaminated area, let him take a rest in a well-ventilated room and seek medical advice.
INGESTION
Do not give anything to drink. Do not induce vomiting. Call the medical service to transfer immediately into hospital.
PROTECTION OF THE FIRST-AIDERS
According to the situation, wear gloves, glasses, protective clothes and shoes, a mask
________________________________________________________________________________________________
5 - FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Water spray, dry ice, powders
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA WHICH SHALL NOT BE USED
No contraindication.
SPECIFIC HAZARDS
Dangerous decomposition products:
Hydrogen evolution in small quantities in case of reaction with metals. Decomposition of some components begins at
150C and gives notably polyacids, unsaturated anhydrides and carbon oxides. Formation of sodium oxide from 1250C.
Prevent any material from entering drains or waterways or earth.
PROTECTION OF THE FIRE-FIGHTERS
Because of the substances produced during thermal decomposition, use approved self-contained breathing equipment
and protective clothing in case of intervention.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
Avoid contact with eyes, the skin, and clothes: wear at least glasses and gloves.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
Do not allow the product to be thrown away. Recover as much as possible for processing within the firm or by an
approved centre (pH correction necessary).
METHODS FOR CLEANING UP
With water to remove all non-recoverable product. Before throwing rinsing water, check the pH is between 5.5 and 8.5.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING
Use as supplied. Close containers (in PE) tightly after use with the original cap. Do not re-use containers with another
product.
STORAGE
Store in a room away from strong acids, metals and organic products. Keep in original containers only, between 5 and
30C. The maximum recommended shelf life is three years from the date of manufacture under normal conditions of
storage.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
EXPOSURE CONTROLS, TECHNICAL MEASURES
No drinking, eating or smoking on the workplace.
Maintain the premises and the workstations in perfect state of cleanliness and clean them frequently.
As the product is used at ambient temperature during a short time, the values below are generally not reached. They
depend on the treatment time, the surface area treated and on the quality of the workshop air extraction.

PERSONAL PROTECTION
Provide a shower, a powerful tap and sink unit, and an eye basin near the workplace.
Respiratory protection: during brush electrolysis, provide if possible an inhaling of the vapours / sprays where they

9 - PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
-

Appearance: colourless liquid

Odour: odourless.
pH: approximately 13.
Relative density: 1.05.
Solubility: miscible in water in all proportions.
Boiling point: approximately 100C.
Crystallisation / melting point: - 4C.
Flammability: no, but some reaction products, for example with metals, can be flammable (risk if formation of
hydrogen in a confined space).
Oxidising properties, risk of explosion or fire: no, or small risk, because the sodium hydroxide concentration is low.
Other properties: no.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
10 - STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
STABILITY
Good at normal temperature with water evaporation for only risk.
Good in humidity and light.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID
High temperatures: decomposition of some constituents from 150C.
MATERIALS TO AVOID
Particularly strong acids, unsaturated organic derivatives, nitroparaffins, chlorinated solvents like 1, 2- dichloroethylene
or trichloroethylene, chlorine, bromine and iodine. Some reactions may be strong, especially if the product has been
concentrated or dehydrated.
Weak action on metals: zinc, copper, lead, aluminium, tin, brass, bronze, because of the small concentration of soda.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS
Low evolution of hydrogen by action on some metals.
Formation of polyacids from 150C and then of unsaturated anhydrides and carbon oxides. Formation of sodium oxide
from 1250C.

11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
No data are available regarding the preparation. The evaluation of health hazards has been realised thanks to
directives 67/548/EC, 1999/45/EC and bibliographical data.
SKIN
Causes burns - the severity depends on the length of contact. Beware: the burning sensation is not immediate.
EYE MUCOSA
Prolonged contact may cause serious damage with possible aftereffects if rinsing is not immediately realized.
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
Causes burns (does not apply under normal conditions of use). Slightly irritant during electrolysis in case of a bad
inhaling of the vapours / sprays.
IN CASE OF INGESTION
Caustic damage to the digestive system with vomiting. According to the length of contact and to the swallowed quantity,
complications may appear in the following days.
OCCUPATIONAL DISEASES: no (in France).
________________________________________________________________________________________________
12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
There are no ecological data on the preparation.
Prevent any material from entering drains or waterways or earth.
