Administrative data
First-aid measures
Inhalation: Move exposed person to fresh air. If it is suspected that fumes are
still present, the rescuer should wear an appropriate mask or selfcontained
breathing apparatus. Keep person warm and at rest. If
not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs,
provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel. It may
be dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. Get medical attention. If unconscious, place in
recovery position and get medical attention immediately. Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waitband.
Ingestion: Wash out mouth with water. Move exposed person to fresh air.
Keep person warm and at rest. If material has been swallowed and
the exposed person is conscious, give small quantities of water to
drink. Stop if the exposed person feels sick as vomiting may be
dangerous. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by
medical personnel. If vomiting occurs, the head should be kept low
so that vomit does not enter the lungs. Get medical attention. Never
give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If unconscious,
place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately.
Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.
Skin contact: Flush contaminated skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated
clothing and shoes. Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. Get medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse.
Eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the
upper and lower eyelids. Check for and remove any contact lenses.
Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. Get medical attention.
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media: In case of fire, use water spray (fog), foam, dry chemical or CO2.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: None known.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Hazards from the substance or mixture: In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst.

Advice for firefighters
Special precautions for fire-fighters: Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity
of the incident if there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any
personal risk or without suitable training.
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and selfcontained
breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.
Remark : Do not release runoff from fire to drains or watercourses.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without
suitable training. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from
entering. Do not touch or walk through spilt material. Avoid
breathing vapour or mist. Provide adequate ventilation. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment.
Environmental precautions: Avoid dispersal of spilt material and runoff and contact with soil,
waterways, drains and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the
product has caused environmental pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air).
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Small spill: Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Dilute with
water and mop up if water-soluble or absorb with an inert dry material
and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Dispose of via
a licensed waste disposal contractor.
Large spill: Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Prevent
entry into sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas.
Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible, absorbent
material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth and
place in container for disposal according to local regulations. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.
Contaminated absorbent material may pose the same hazard as the
spilt product.
Handling and storage
Manufacture and use of this chemical intermediate takes place under strictly controlled conditions, as described in Art. 17/18 REACH. The substance is rigorously contained during manufacturing and use and appropriate risk management measures including PPE (i.g. during charging or sampling) are applied. Occupational exposure is reduced to a minimum and well controlled by measurements. A management system covering all general aspectsof a chemical production is in place, especially cleaning and maintenance of plants and equipment. An authorisation scheme based on instructions covering the whole process ensures that only trained and authorised staff handles the substance.
Precautions for safe handling
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment.
Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this
material is handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash
hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking. Do not breathe
vapour or mist. Do not ingest. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and
clothing. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate
respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Keep in the original
container or an approved alternative made from a compatible
material, kept tightly closed when not in use. Empty containers retain
product residue and can be hazardous. The product is registered with
strictly controlled conditions as defined in Article 17(3) or 18(4) of
regulation (EC) no. 1907/2006 (REACH Regulation) and must
therefore be handled as such. Refer to the industry guidance
prepared by Concawe/Cefic/EFCG for advice on the confirmation of strictly controlled conditions.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original container
protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area,
away from incompatible materials (see section 10) and food and
drink. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use.
Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and
kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabelled
containers. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Control parameters
Exposure limit values : Not available.
Recommended monitoring procedures: If this product contains ingredients with exposure limits, personal,
workplace atmosphere or biological monitoring may be required to
determine the effectiveness of the ventilation or other control
measures and/or the necessity to use respiratory protective
equipment. Reference should be made to European Standard EN
689 for methods for the assessment of exposure by inhalation to
chemical agents and national guidance documents for methods for the determination of hazardous substances.
Exposure controls
Technical measures: Use only with adequate ventilation. The substance shall be
rigorously contained by technical means during its whole lifecycle
including manufacture, purification, cleaning and maintenance of
equipment, sampling, analysis, loading and unloading of equipment
or vessels, waste disposal or purification and storage. Procedural
