Section 4: First - Aid Measures 
Description of first aid measures: 
In case of inhalation:   If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If patient is not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. Seek immediate medical attention. 
In case of skin contact:   If on skin, rinse well with running water for a minimum of 15 minutes. Seek immediate medical
attention if any adverse effects occur. 
In case of eye contact:   Flush eyes thoroughly with water for 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses after the initial 1-2
minutes and continue flushing. In case of discomfort seek medical attention. 
In case of ingestion:   If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek medical attention. 
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed: 
Inhalation:   Causes respiratory tract irritation. May be harmful if inhaled. 
Eyes:   Causes eye irritation. 
Skin contact:   Causes skin irritation. May be harmful if absorbed through the skin. May cause contact dermatitis. 
Ingestion:   May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. May be harmful if swallowed. 
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed:   Treat symptomatically. Show this
safety data sheet to a physician or emergency room. 
Section 5: Fire - Fighting Measures 
Extinguisher media: 
Suitable extinguisher media:   Do NOT use water, CO2 or halogenated extinguishers. Use dry chemical extinguishing
agents, dry sand or dry ground dolomite. 
Unsuitable extinguishing media:   Water jet.

Special hazards arising from the mixture:   Gallium oxides. 
Advice for fire-fighters:   Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing for firefighting. 
Further information:   Standard procedure for chemical fires. Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local
circumstances and the surrounding environment. 
Section 6: Accidental Release Measures 
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: 
Personal precautions:   Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8. Avoid dust formation.
Avoid breathing vapours, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Avoid breathing
dust. 
Environmental precautions:   Prevent product from entering drains. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. 
Methods for containment and cleaning up: 
Methods for cleaning up:   Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal container. Avoid generating 
dusty conditions. Provide ventilation. Do not get water inside containers. Cool material below 25 °C to solidify before 
attempting clean-up. Protect metal construction, as gallium will dissolve the metal/is corrosive to most metals. 
Reference to other sections: 
Treat recovered material as described in the section "Disposal considerations". 
Section 7: Handling and Storage 
Precautions for safe handling: 
Advice on safe handling:   Wash thoroughly after handling product. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Keep
container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion or inhalation. Use with adequate ventilation. Wash clothing before reuse.

Hygiene measures:   Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. 
Conditions for safe storage, including incompatibilities: 
Requirements for storage areas and containers:   Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-
ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Store protected from moisture. 
Section 8: Exposure Controls/ Personal Protection 
Control parameters: 
Occupational exposure limits:   Contains no substances with occupational exposure limits. 
Exposure controls: 
Appropriate engineering controls:   Safety shower and eye bath. Only use in a chemical fume hood. 
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment: 
Eye/face protection:   Use safety glasses. If there is a potential for exposure to particles which could cause eye
discomfort, wear chemical goggles.
