Administrative data
First-aid measures
Pay attention to self-protection.
Remove victims from hazardous area. Immediately remove soiled or soaked clothing and remove it to a safe distance. Keep victim warm, in a stabilized position and covered.
Do not leave victims unattended.
If the casualty is unconscious: Place the victim in the recovery position.
Inhalation
Potential for exposure by inhalation if aerosols or mists are generated.
Move victims into fresh air.
With labored breathing: Provide with oxygen. Consult a doctor.
If the casualty is not breathing: Perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, notify emergency physician immediately.
Skin contact
Wash off affected area immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
If symptoms persist, consult a physician for treatment.
Eye contact
With eye held open, thoroughly rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 10 minutes.
Consult an ophthalmologist immediately if the symptoms persist.
When dealing with caustic substances, notify emergency physician immediately (key words: burns in eye).
Ingestion
Rinse mouth.
Immediately give large quantities of water to drink.
Obtain medical attention.
When dealing with caustic substances, notify emergency physician immediately.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Symptoms
Irritation of skin and mucous membranes
Causes burns.
daze,
Headache, vertigo, somnolence (sleepiness), nausea.
Health injuries may be delayed.
Hazards
Strongly irritating to corrosive.Harmful in contact with skin and if swallowed.
Vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
The initial focus is only on the local action, characterized by quickly progressing deep tissue damage.
In the eye, caustic/ irritating and harmful liquids cause, depending on the intensity of exposure, various levels of irritation, destruction, and ablation of the epithelium of the conjunctiva and cornea, corneal clouding, edema and ulcerations.
Danger! Possible loss of eyesight!
Superficial irritations and damage up to ulcerations and scarring develop on the skin.
After accidental absorption in the body, the pathology and clinical findings are dependent on the kinetics of the substance (quantity of absorbed substance, the absorption time, and the effectiveness of early elimination measures (first aid)/ excretion - metabolism).
A specific action of the substance is unknown.
In case of substances with high water solubility, irritations up to formation of necrosis in the upper respiratory tract may result after inhalation of caustic/ irritating aerosols and mists.
The initial focus is on the local action: signs of irritation of the respiratory tract such as coughing, burning behind the sternum, tears, burning in the eyes or nose.
There is a risk of pulmonary edema!

With large-scale fire, violent decomposition or even explosion is possible.
Advice for firefighters
Water for fire fighting must not be introduced in the sewer system, subsoil, or surface waters. Assure that there are sufficient fire water retaining facilities Contaminated fire fighting water must be disposed of in conformity with the regulations of the local authorities.
Fire residues should be disposed of in accordance with the regulations.
In case of fire: full protective suit and wear a self contained respiratory apparatus
Accidental release measures
Use personal protective equipment.

Keep unauthorized persons away.
Environmental precautions
Do not allow entrance in sewage water, drainage systems, stretches of water, soil.
Observe regulations on prevention of water pollution (check, dam up, cover up).
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Use mechanical handling equipment.
Fill into marked, sealable containers.
Contain spillage, and then collect with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according to local / national regulations.
Suitable absorbents:
dry sand
ground limestone
Absorbents not to be used:
sawdust
Reference to other sections
Wear personal protective equipment; see section 8.
Handling and storage
Use permissible in closed systems only. Handle and transfer product in closed systems only (gas displacement device).
Ensure that apparatus and pipelines are free from leaks. Do not ventilate into the open.
Suitable loading and unloading device required.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Advice on protection against fire and explosion
Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.
No sparking tools should be used.
In use, may form flammable/explosive vapour-air mixture.
Storage
Store in the original receptacle, keeping this tightly sealed, under cool and dry conditions.
Protect from warming.
Avoid humidity and water.
Storage under inert gas (nitrogen) recommended.
Suitable materials stainless steel
Unsuitable materials light metals and their alloys
Further information
In order to ensure due transportation, make certain that stacks are of the correct height, containers are securely fastened so as not to fall off, and labelled according to the regulations.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Engineering measures
Refill and handle product only in closed system.
Leak detection recommended
Wastewater can be added to a biological wastewater treatment plant.
Remove exhaust gases through a washer or through combustion.
Minimization of emissions by means of suitable technical measures such as flanges and valves with low leakage rates, recirculation of vapours.
All precautionary measures indicated have to be observed.
