Health hazard:
It is necessary to avoid contact of the product with skin (use protective gloves). The material is not toxical, however, in case of accidental contact, in case
when areas of the skin have been contaminated, those spots should immediately be washed with water and soap. If the material has been splashed into
eyes, they should immediately be rinsed with a lot of water and medical assistance should be asked for.
Fire:
Eksmal is a non-flammable.
Cleaning and discarding:
Loose residues of Eksmal are cleaned with water. The old and used packing should be discarded in accordance with the local relevant regulations for
that kind of waste.
