- Advice for firefighters

Special protective equipment for firefighting

Use self-contained breathing apparatus

Accidental release measures

- Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Wear suitable personal protective equipment.

Ensure adequate ventilation.

Keep away sources of ignition.

- Environmental precautions

Do not allow to enter drains or waterways

- Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Pick up mechanically. Rinse away rest with warm water.

Handling and storage

- Precautions for safe handling

Advice on safe handling

Use only in well ventilated areas.

Open and handle container with care.

Hygiene measures

Wash hands before breaks and after work.

Use barrier skin cream.

Remove soiled or soaked clothing immediately and clean thoroughly before using again.

Advice on protection against fire and explosion

Traces of flammable substances can collect in the vapour space of closed systems, therefore

keep sources of ignition away.

Take precautionary measures against build-up of electrostatic charges, e.g earthing during

loading and off-loading operations.

Keep away from sources of ignition - refrain from smoking.

- Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Advice on storage compatibility

Do not store with alkalies

Further information on storage conditions

Product is hygroscopic.

Exposure controls / personal protection

- Control parameters

Exposure limit values are not available.

- Exposure controls

General protective measures

Do not inhale vapours

Avoid contact with skin

Avoid contact with eyes

Respiratory protection : Use respiratory protection in case of insufficient exhaust

ventilation or prolonged exposure

Full mask to standard DIN EN 136

Filter A (organic gases and vapours) to standard DIN EN 141

The use of filter apparatus presupposes that the environment atmosphere contains at least 17% oxygen by volume, and does not exceed the maximum gas concentration, usually 0.5% by volume. Relevant guidelines to be considered include EN 136/141/143/371/372 as well as other national

regulations.

Hand protection : For long-term exposure:

Butyl rubber gloves.

Minimum thickness (glove): not determined

With solid dry substances permeation is not to be expected, therefore the breakthrough-time for this protective glove has not been measured.

For short-term exposure (splash protection):

Nitrile rubber gloves.

Minimum thickness (glove): not determined

With solid dry substances permeation is not to be expected, therefore the breakthrough-time for this protective glove has not been measured.

These types of protective gloves are offered by various manufacturers. Please note the manufacturers´ detailed statements, especially about the minimum thickness and the minimum breakthrough time. Consider also the particular working conditions under which the gloves are being used.

Eye protection : Depending on the risk, wear sufficient eye protection (safety glasses with side protection or goggles, and if necessary, face

shield.)

Body protection : Depending on the degree of hazard, when handling corrosive substances, aprons, boots or full protective clothing made of

suitable materials (e.g. rubberized or PVC-coated) must also be worn.
