First-aid measures

Most important symptoms and effects

Toxic in contact with skin.

Descriptions of first aid measures

    General

    Call a physician immediately.

   

    Inhalation

    Remove to fresh air.  If not breathing, give artificial respiration.  Oxygen may additionally be given, by trained personnel, if it is available.  Get medical attention immediately.

   

    Skin

    Immediately flush skin with plenty of water while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.  Get medical attention if symptoms occur.  Wash clothing before reuse.  Thoroughly clean or destroy contaminated shoes.

   

    Eye

    Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water.  If easy to do, contact lenses should be removed during the flushing, by trained personnel.  Occasionally hold the eyelids apart during the flushing to ensure rinsing the entire surface of the eye and lids with water.  Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.

   

    Ingestion

    Call a physician or a poison control center immediately.  Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel.  If vomiting occurs, the patient should lie on their left side while vomiting to reduce the risk of aspiration.  Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person.

   

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Persons with pre-existing skin, respiratory, and/or central nervous system disease may be at increased risk if exposed to this material.

Condition of the patient should be carefully monitored.  Aspiration of this product during induced emesis can result in lung injury.  If evacuation of stomach contents is considered necessary, use method least likely to cause aspiration, such as gastric lavage after endotracheal intubation.  Contact a Posion Control Center for additional treatment information.  Treat patient symptomatically.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

Water, alcohol resistant foam, sand, dry chemical powder, CO2.

Unsuitable extinguishing media

None known.

Hazardous decomposition / combustion products

CO2, carbon monoxide.

Protective equipment

Firefighters must wear fire resistant protective equipment.  Wear approved respirator and protective gloves.

Other information

Evacuate all non-essential personnel.  Cool closed containers with water.  Water used to extinguish fire should not be allowed to enter the drainage system or water courses.  After a fire, ventilate thoroughly the area and soak with water, clean the walls and metallic surfaces.

Fire and explosion hazard

In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions

Avoid contact with skin and eyes.  For personal protection see Section Exposure controls / personal protection

Environmental precautions

Do not allow to enter drains or water courses.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Stop leakage if possible.  Collect as much as possible in a clean container for (preferable) reuse or disposal.  Cover the remainder with inert absorbent (e.g. vermiculite) for disposal.  Flush surroundings with large amounts of water.

Other information

Evacuate personnel to safe area.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

When using do not eat, drink or smoke.  Do not pipet by mouth.  Do not breathe fumes/vapour.  Handle in well ventilated areas.  Apply effective local ventilation.  Avoid contact with skin and eyes.  Avoid incompatible materials (see Section Stability and reactivity).

Fire and explosion prevention

No specific recommendations.

Conditions for safe storage

Store in accordance with local/national regulations.  Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs.  Keep container upright to prevent leakage.

Other information

Wash hands thoroughly after handling or contact.  Keep working clothing separately and do not take them home.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Control parameters

Ensure good ventilation and local exhaustion of the working area.

Personal protection

    Respiratory

    Do not breathe vapour!  In case of insufficient ventilation wear suitable respiratory equipment (respirator with Filter A).

   

    Hand

    Wear suitable protective gloves of neoprene or synthetic rubber

   

    Eye

    Wear safety goggles

   

    Skin and body

    Wear suitable protective clothing

   

    Other information

    Emergency-shower and facilities for rinsing eyes must be accessible.  Launder clothes before reuse.

Stability and reactivity

Conditions to avoid

No specific recommendations.

Chemical stability

Stable under recommended storage and handling conditions (see Section Handling and storage).

Incompatible materials

Keep away from oxidising agents, strong acid and strong alkaline.

Possibility of hazardous reactions

Polymerization does not occur.

Hazardous decomposition products

No hazardous decomposition products known.

Disposal considerations

Product

Refer to manufacturer/supplier for information on recovery/recycling.  Waste disposal in accordance with regulations (most probably controlled incineration).

Contaminated packaging

According to local regulations.  Emptied containers might retain product residues.  Follow all warnings even after the container is emptied.
