Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Inhalation

Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Get medical attention if adverse health effects persist or are severe.

Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.

Ingestion

Wash out mouth with water. Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If material has been swallowed and

the exposed person is conscious, give small quantities of water to drink. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel.

Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Get medical attention if symptoms appear.

Skin contact

Wash with plenty of soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash contaminated clothing thoroughly with water before removing it,

or wear gloves. Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. Get medical attention. In the event of any complaints or symptoms, avoid further exposure.

Wash clothing before reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse.

Eye contact

Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Check for and remove any contact lenses.

Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation occurs.

Protection of first-aiders

No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. It may be dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth

resuscitation. Wash contaminated clothing thoroughly with water before removing it, or wear gloves.

Notes to physician

Symptomatic treatment

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media Suitable:

Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire.

Extinguishing media Not suitable:

None known.

Special exposure hazards:

No specific fire or explosion hazard.

Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.

Hazardous thermal decomposition products:

Decomposition products may include the following materials:

carbon dioxide

carbon monoxide

nitrogen oxides

sulfur oxides

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters:

Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in

positive pressure mode. Clothing for fire-fighters (including helmets, protective boots and gloves) conforming to European standard EN 469

will provide a basic level of protection for chemical incidents.

Remark:

Not explosive

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions:

No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected

personnel from entering. Do not touch or walk through spilt material. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is

inadequate. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment

Environmental precautions:

Avoid dispersal of spilt material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has

caused environmental pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air).

Methods for cleaning up - Small spill:

Move containers from spill area. Avoid dust generation. Using a vacuum with HEPA filter will reduce dust dispersal. Place spilled material in a designated,

labeled waste container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.

Methods for cleaning up -Large spill:

Move containers from spill area. Approach the release from upwind. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas. Avoid dust

generation. Do not dry sweep. Vacuum dust with equipment fitted with a HEPA filter and place in a closed, labeled waste container. Dispose of via a

licensed waste disposal contractor.

Handling and storage

Handling

Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled,

stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment

before entering  eating areas. Persons with a history of skin sensitization problems should not be employed in any process in which this product is used.

Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing. Do not ingest. Keep in the original container or an approved alternative made from a compatible material, kept

tightly closed when not in use. Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous. Do not reuse container.

Storage

Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from

incompatible materials (see Section 10) and food and drink. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been opened

must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabelled containers. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental

contamination.

Packaging materials – Recommended:

Use original container.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Hygiene measures:

Avoid ingestion, inhalation, skin and eye contact. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene practice and any legal requirements. Wash hands,

forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period.

Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and

safety showers are close to the workstation location.

Respiratory protection:

Use a properly fitted, particulate filter respirator complying with an approved standard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection

must be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe working limits of the selected respirator.

Recommended: Respiratory protection, filter P2

Hand protection:

Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk

assessment indicates this is necessary. Considering the parameters specified by the glove manufacturer, check during use that the gloves are still

retaining their protective properties. It should be noted that the time to breakthrough for any glove material may be different for different glove

manufacturers. In the case of mixtures, consisting of several substances, the protection time of the gloves cannot be accurately estimated. < 1 hour (breakthrough time): butyl or neoprene.

Eye protection:

Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists, gases or dusts. If contact is possible, the following protection should be worn, unless the assessment indicates a higher degree of protection:

safety glasses with side-shields.

Skin protection:

Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a

specialist before handling this product.

Environmental exposure controls:

Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure they comply with the requirements of environmental protection

legislation. In some cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment will be necessary to reduce emissions to

acceptable levels.
