First-aid measures
Description of necessary first-aid measures :
General advice: Take off immediately all contaminated clothing.
Move to fresh air. Oxygen or artificial respiration if needed. Keep under medical surveillance. In case of persistent problems : Hospitalise.
Skin contact : Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water. If significant contact: Keep under medical surveillance. Hospitalise
Eye contact: Wash immediately, abundantly and thoroughly with water. If irritation persists, consult an ophthalmologist.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting, rinse mouth and lips with plenty of water if the subject is conscious, then hospitalize.
Protection of first-aiders: In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media: Carbon dioxide (CO2), Dry powder, Water spray
Specific hazards: Flammable liquid,
Thermal decomposition giving flammable and toxic products, Hydrogen sulphide, Methylmercaptan
Specific methods: Cool containers / tanks with water spray.
Special protective actions for fire-fighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
Prohibit contact with skin and eyes and inhalation of vapours. Use personal protective equipment.
In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Evacuate non-essential staff and those not equipped with individual protection apparatus. Prohibit all sources of sparks and ignition - Do not smoke.
Environmental precautions:
Do not release into the environment. Do not let product enter drains. Dam up with sand or inert earth (do not use combustible materials).
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:
Recovery:
Pump into a labelled inert emergency tank Absorb the remainder with an inert absorbent material. Rinse with water and recover water for later processing.
Elimination:
Destroy product by oxidation with dilute solutions of : Hydrogen peroxide sodium hypochlorite or Destroy the product by incineration (in accordance with local and national regulations).
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling: Technical measures/Precautions:
Storage and handling precautions applicable to products: Liquid. Flammable. With vapours explosive in air. Irritant. Sensitizing. Harmful.
Dangerous for the environment Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at machinery. Provide showers, eye-baths. Provide self-contained
breathing apparatus nearby. Well ventilate empty vats and tanks before entering. Provide electrical earthing of equipment.
Safe handling advice: Keep well away from naked flames. Prohibit all sources of sparks and ignition - Do not smoke. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Open drum carefully as content may be under pressure.
Hygiene measures: Prohibit contact with the skin and the eyes. Avoid inhalation of vapours. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-use.
When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Wash hands after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place. Store away from heat and ignition sources Provide impermeable floor. Provide a catch-tank in a bunded area. Provide electrical earthing of equipment and electrical equipment usable in explosive atmospheres.
Incompatible products: Strong oxidizing agents
Packaging material: Recommended: Lined metallic drums., Stainless steel, Joints : polyethylene, Rilsan ®
To be avoided: Rubber, Plastic materials
