First-aid measures
Description of first aid measures
Inhalation:
Move to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If breathing stops, provide artificial respiration. Get medical attention immediately.
Eye contact:
Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If easy to do, remove contact lenses. Get medical attention. In case of irritation from airborne exposure, move to fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms persist.
Skin contact:
Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Destroy or thoroughly clean contaminated shoes.
Ingestion:
Seek medical advice.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed:
May irritate and cause redness and pain.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Hazards:
None known.
Treatment:
Treat symptomatically.
Fire-fighting measures
General fire hazards:
Combustible liquid and vapor. USE WATER WITH CAUTION. Material will float and may ignite on surface of water.
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media:
Water spray. Dry chemical. Carbon Dioxide. Foam.
Unsuitable extinguishing media:
None known.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:
None known.
Advice for firefighters
Special fire fighting procedures:
Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters:
Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
Environmental precautions:
Avoid release to the environment.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:
Eliminate sources of ignition. Absorb spill with vermiculite or other inert material, then place in a container for chemical waste. Large Spillages: Flush spill area with water spray. Prevent runoff from entering drains, sewers, or streams. Dike for later disposal.
Notification Procedures:
In the event of a spill or accidental release, notify relevant authorities in accordance with all applicable regulations.
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling:
Avoid breathing vapor. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
Keep container closed.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Control parameters
Occupational exposure limits
Country specific exposure limits have not been established or are not applicable unless listed below.
Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering controls:
Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
General information:
Eye bath. Washing facilities. Safety shower.
Eye/face protection:
Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles). Wear a full-face respirator, if needed.
Skin protection
Hand protection:
Wear chemical-resistant gloves, footwear, and protective clothing appropriate for the risk of exposure. Contact health and safety professional or manufacturer for specific information.
Other:
No data available.
Respiratory Protection:
If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposure limits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level (in countries where exposure limits have not been established), an approved respirator must be worn. In the United States of America, if respirators are used, a program should be instituted to assure compliance with OSHA Standard 63 FR 1152, January 8, 1998. Respirator type: Air-purifying respirator with an appropriate, government approved (where applicable), air-purifying filter, cartridge or canister. Contact health and safety professional or manufacturer for specific information.
Hygiene measures:
Observe good industrial hygiene practices.
Environmental Controls:
No data available.
Stability and reactivity
Reactivity:
None known.
Chemical stability:
Stable
Possibility of hazardous reactions:
None known.
Conditions to avoid:
Heat, sparks, flames.
Incompatible materials:
Strong oxidizing agents.
Hazardous decomposition products:
Carbon Dioxide. Carbon Monoxide
Disposal considerations
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.
