Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
4.1 | Description of first aid measures |
General information | |
Remove contaminated clothing and shoes immediately, and launder thoroughly before reusing. In case of accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately. If the patient is likely to become unconscious, place and transport in stable sideways position. | |
After inhalation | |
Remove affected person from the immediate area. Ensure supply of fresh air. Irregular breathing/no breathing: artificial respiration. Call a doctor immediately. | |
After skin contact | |
When in contact with the skin, clean with soap and water. | |
After eye contact | |
Separate eyelids, wash the eyes thoroughly with water (15 min.). Seek medical assistance. | |
After ingestion | |
Call in a physician immediately and show him the Safety Data Sheet. Rinse out mouth and give plenty of water to drink. Administer vitamin C as antidote and cause immediate vomiting. Toxic effect is superior to acid effect. |
Fire-fighting measures
5.1 | Extinguishing media |
Suitable extinguishing media | |
Product itself is non-combustible; adapt fire extinguishing measures to surrounding areas. | |
Unsuitable extinguishing media | |
Water | |
5.2 | Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture |
In case of combustion evolution of dangerous gases possible. | |
5.3 | Advice for firefighters |
Use self-contained breathing apparatus. Fire residues and contaminated firefighting water must be disposed of in accordance with the local regulations. Wear protective clothing. |
Accidental release measures
6.1 | Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures |
For non-emergency personnel | |
Refer to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8. Remove persons to safety. Avoid dust formation. Use breathing apparatus if exposed to vapours/dust/aerosol. | |
For emergency responders | |
No data available. Personal protective equipment (PPE) - see Section 8. | |
6.2 | Environmental precautions |
Do not discharge into the drains/surface waters/groundwater. | |
6.3 | Methods and material for containment and cleaning up |
Take up mechanically. Send in suitable containers for recovery or disposal. |
Handling and storage
7.1 | Precautions for safe handling |
Advice on safe handling | |
Provide good ventilation of working area (local exhaust ventilation, if necessary). Avoid the formation and deposition of dust. If workplace exposure limits are exceeded, respiratory protection approved for this particular job must be worn. | |
General protective and hygiene measures | |
Do not eat, drink or smoke during work time. Keep away from foodstuffs and beverages. Wash hands before breaks and after work. Do not inhale dust. Store work clothing separately. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Provide eye wash fountain in work area. Have emergency shower available. | |
7.2 | Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities |
Technical measures and storage conditions | |
Keep container tightly closed and dry in a cool, well-ventilated place. | |
Requirements for storage rooms and vessels | |
Store product in closed containers. Keep only in the original container. | |
Advice on storage assembly | |
Do not store together with foodstuffs. Keep away from water. Metals which are attacked by an alkaline medium. |
