First-aid measures

Description of first aid measures


First aid personnel should pay attention to their own safety. If the patient is likely to become
unconscious, place and transport in stable sideways position (recovery position). Immediately
remove contaminated clothing.
If inhaled:

Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air, seek medical attention. Immediately administer a
corticosteroid from a controlled/metered dose inhaler.
On skin contact:
Immediately wash thoroughly with plenty of water, apply sterile dressings, consult a skin specialist.
On contact with eyes:
Immediately wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open,
consult an eye specialist.


On ingestion:
Immediately rinse mouth and then drink 200-300 ml of water, seek medical attention.


Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Symptoms: Overexposure may cause:, weakness, chest discomfort, anxiety, nausea, coughing,
headache
Further symptoms are possible


Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Treatment: Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions), no known specific
antidote.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media:
water spray, dry powder, foam, carbon dioxide
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
nitrogen oxides, carbon oxides
The substances/groups of substances mentioned can be released in case of fire. Under certain
conditions in case of fire other hazardous combustion products may be generated.
Advice for fire-fighters
Special protective equipment:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-protective clothing.
Further information:
Dispose of fire debris and contaminated extinguishing water in accordance with official regulations.

Accidental release measures

An explosive atmosphere can be formed in the case of a spillage. If large amounts are released
contact the fire service.

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Breathing protection required. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing.



Environmental precautions
Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater.


Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
For large amounts: Pump off product.
For residues: Pick up with suitable absorbent material (e.g. sand, sawdust, general-purpose binder,
kieselguhr).
Cleaning operations should be carried out only while wearing breathing apparatus. Clean
contaminated floors and objects thoroughly with water and detergents, observing environmental
regulations. Collect waste in suitable containers, which can be labeled and sealed. Incinerate or take
to a special waste disposal site in accordance with local authority regulations.


Reference to other sections
Information regarding exposure controls/personal protection and disposal considerations can be
found in section 8 and 13.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling
Ensure thorough ventilation of stores and work areas. Refill and handle product only in closed
system. Protect against moisture. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety
practice. When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Hands and/or face should be washed before breaks
and at the end of the shift.
Protection against fire and explosion:
Vapours may form explosive mixture with air. Prevent electrostatic charge - sources of ignition
should be kept well clear - fire extinguishers should be kept handy.


Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Segregate from acids and acid forming substances.
Suitable materials for containers: Carbon steel (Iron), Stainless steel 1.4401, Stainless steel 1.4301
(V2), glass, High density polyethylene (HDPE)
Unsuitable materials for containers: Paper/Fibreboard
Further information on storage conditions: Containers should be stored tightly sealed in a dry place.
Storage stability:
Storage temperature: <= 50 °C
Storage duration: 24 Months
From the data on storage duration in this safety data sheet no agreed statement regarding the warrantee of application properties can be deduced.


Specific end use(s)
For the relevant identified use(s) listed in Section 1 the advice mentioned in this section 7 is to be observed.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Control parameters
Components with occupational exposure limits
No occupational exposure limits known.
PNEC
freshwater: 0.072 mg/l
marine water: 0.0072 mg/l
intermittent release: 0.118 mg/l
STP: 10 mg/l
sediment (freshwater): 2.29 mg/kg
sediment (marine water): 0.229 mg/kg
soil: 0.414 mg/kg
DNEL
consumer:
Short-term exposure - systemic effects, oral: 2 mg/kg
consumer:
Long-term exposure- systemic effects, oral: 1 mg/kg


Exposure controls
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection:
Respiratory protection in case of vapour/aerosol release. Gas filter for gases/vapours of organic
compounds (boiling point >65 °C, e. g. EN 14387 Type A)
Suitable respiratory protection for higher concentrations or long-term effect: Self-contained breathing
apparatus.
Hand protection:
Chemical resistant protective gloves (EN 374)
Suitable materials also with prolonged, direct contact (Recommended: Protective index 6,
corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to EN 374):
fluoroelastomer (FKM) - 0.7 mm coating thickness

Suitable materials for short-term contact (recommended: At least protective index 2, corresponding >
30 minutes of permeation time according to EN 374)
nitrile rubber (NBR) - 0.4 mm coating thickness
butyl rubber (butyl) - 0.7 mm coating thickness
Manufacturer's directions for use should be observed because of great diversity of types.
Supplementary note: The specifications are based on tests, literature data and information of glove
manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions (e.g.
temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in
practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined through testing.
Eye protection:
Tightly fitting safety goggles (cage goggles) (e.g. EN 166) and face shield.
Body protection:
chemical-protection suit (f.e. according to EN 14605)
General safety and hygiene measures
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Avoid inhalation of vapour.
Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. The substance was registered as a transported
isolated intermediate. The manufacturer/importer has received the confirmation by the user that the
substance is used under strictly controlled conditions in accordance with art. 18 of the REACH
regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Hands and/or face should be
washed before breaks and at the end of the shift. Gloves must be inspected regularly and prior to
each use. Replace if necessary (e.g. pinhole leaks). Take off immediately all contaminated clothing.
Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Store work clothing separately.

dependence on the usage.
The waste code in accordance with the European waste catalog (EWC) must be specified in
cooperation with disposal agency/manufacturer/authorities.
Contaminated packaging:
Contaminated packaging should be emptied as far as possible; then it can be passed on for
recycling after being thoroughly cleaned.
