Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
· General information:
Get medical attention immediately if symptoms occur. Show the safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
· After inhalation: IF INHALED: Remove to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
· After skin contact: Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water. If a person feels unwell or symptoms of skin irritation appear, consult a physician.
· After eye contact: Rinse immediately carefully and thoroughly with eye-bath or water. If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.
· After swallowing: If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show this SDS or label. Do not induce vomiting without medical advice. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing agents:
Use water spray or fog; do not use straight streams
Use fire extinguishing methods suitable to surrounding conditions.
Alcohol resistant foam
Fire-extinguishing powder
Carbon dioxide
Dry sand
Hazardous combustion products:
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Carbon monoxide
Advice for firefighters
· Protective equipment: Wear self-contained respiratory protective device.
Accidental release measures
Environmental precautions: Do not allow to enter sewers/ surface or ground water.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:
Soak up with inert absorbent material and dispose of as hazardous waste.
Dispose of the material collected according to regulations.
Sweep up and shovel into suitable containers for disposal.
Clean contaminated surface thoroughly.
Prevent product from entering drains.
Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained.
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Avoid breathing mists, dusts, or vapors. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
Requirements to be met by storerooms and receptacles:
Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place. Keep product and empty container away from heat and sources of ignition.
Suitable material:
Carbon steel
Stainless steel
Plastic drum

Exposure controls / personal protection
General protective and hygienic measures:
The usual precautionary measures are to be adhered to when handling chemicals.
Maintain adequate engineering controls and/or ventilation to keep hazardous ingredients below their statutory limits.
Use an approved respirator whenever exposure limits are exceeded.
Protection of hands:
The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation.
Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation.
· Material of gloves: Neoprene gloves, Butyl rubber (BR), Nitrile rubber (NBR).
· Penetration time of glove material: The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.
The determined penetration times according to EN 374 part III are not performed under practical conditions.
Therefore a maximum wearing time, which corresponds to 50% of the penetration time, is recommended.
Eye protection:
Goggles recommended during refilling.
Body protection:
Protective work clothing
Stability and reactivity
Thermal decomposition / conditions to be avoided: No decomposition if used according to specifications.
Possibility of hazardous reactions: No dangerous reactions known.
Conditions to avoid Heat, flames and sparks.
Incompatible materials: Oxidizing agent
Hazardous decomposition products: No dangerous decomposition products known.
Disposal considerations
Waste treatment methods
Smaller quantities can be disposed of with household waste.
Do not contaminate ponds, waterways or ditches with chemical or used container. Dispose of in accordance with federal, state and local regulations.
Uncleaned packaging:
Disposal must be made according to official regulations.
Dispose of packaging according to regulations on the disposal of packagings.
Recommended cleansing agents: Water, if necessary together with cleansing agents.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
