First-aid measures

Description of first aid measures
General information:
First aid personnel should pay attention to their own safety.
Immediately remove any clothing soiled by the product.
In case of irregular breathing or respiratory arrest provide artificial respiration.
No mouth to mouth respiration. Vomit may contain toxic substances.
Immediately remove and dispose of any clothing and shoes soiled and soaked by the product.
Symptoms of poisoning may occur even after several hours; therefore medical observation is suggested for at least 48 hours after
the accident.
· After inhalation:
Supply fresh air. If required, provide artificial respiration. Keep patient warm. Consult doctor if symptoms persist.
In case of unconsciousness, place patients on their side in a stable position for transportation.
· After skin contact:
Immediately wash with water and soap and rinse thoroughly.
Cover wound with a sterile dressing.
Call a doctor immediately.
· After eye contact:
Protect unharmed eye.
Rinse opened eye for several minutes under running water. Then consult a doctor.
· After swallowing:
Drink 2-4 glasses of water.
Induce vomiting only if affected person is fully conscious.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Call a doctor immediately.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Corrosive effect
intestinal corrosion

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Symptomatic treatment
In cases of irritation to the lungs, initial treatment with Dexametason metered aerosol
(decontamination, vital functions)

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media
· Suitable extinguishing agents:
Sand
Cement
Extinguishing powder
Use fire fighting measures that suit the environment.
· For safety reasons unsuitable extinguishing agents:
Water
CO2
Foam

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
In case of fire, the following can be released:
Flammable gases/vapours
Boric compounds
Hydrogen

Advice for firefighters
· Protective equipment: Wear self-contained respiratory protective device.
· Additional information:
Avoid penetration into surface waters or ground water. (Danger of Explosion!)
Dispose of fire debris and contaminated fire fighting water in accordance with official regulations.
Collect contaminated fire fighting water separately. It must not enter the sewage system.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
Wear protective equipment. Keep unprotected persons away.
Ensure adequate ventilation.
Avoid formation of dust.
Do not breath dust

Environmental precautions:
Do not allow product to reach sewage system or any water course.
Inform respective authorities in case of seepage into water course or sewage system.
Risk of explosion.
Do not allow to penetrate the ground/soil.
In case of seepage into the ground inform responsible authorities.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:
Ensure adequate ventilation.
Pick up mechanically.
Avoid any dust formation. Pick up with a tested and approved industrial vacuum cleaner if necessary.
Do not flush with water or aqueous cleansing agents
Make sure to recycle or dispose of in suitable receptacles.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling
Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
Prevent formation of dust.
Any deposit of dust which cannot be avoided must be regularly removed.
Keep the working area dry and clean.
Reaction with water releases highly flammable gas (hydrogen).
· Information about protection against explosions and fires:
Keep ignition sources away - Do not smoke.
Dust may combine with air to form an explosive mixture.
Protect against electrostatic charges.
Observe the general rules of industrial fire protection.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
· Storage:
· Requirements to be met by storerooms and receptacles:
Store only in unopened original receptacles.
Store under dry conditions.
· Information about storage in one common storage facility:
Store away from foodstuffs.
Store away from feed.
Refer to national regulations for storing hazardous chemicals.
· Further information about storage conditions:
Keep receptacle tightly sealed.
Store under lock and key and with access restricted to technical experts or their assistants only.
· Recommended storage temperature: 15 - 25 °C
· Storage class: Materials liberating flammable gases in contact with water

Specific end use(s) No further relevant information available

Exposure controls / personal protection

Control parameters
· Components with limit values that require monitoring at the workplace: Not required
· Additional information: The lists that were valid during the creation were used as basis.

Exposure controls
· Personal protective equipment:
· General protective and hygienic measures:
Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and feed.
Remove all soiled and contaminated clothing immediately.
Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work.
Store protective clothing separately.
Vacuum contaminated clothing. Do not blow or brush off contamination.
Avoid any contact with eyes and skin.
Provide eye bath.
After skin contact, cleanse skin thoroughly.
· Breathing equipment:
At formation of dust:
Short term filter device (EN 149):
Filter P2
· Protection of hands:
Chemical resistant gloves (EN 374)
The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/substance/preparation.
Selection of the glove material in consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation
To avoid skin problems reduce the wearing of gloves to the required minimum.
· Material of gloves:
Nitrile rubber, NBR
The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality and varies from
manufacturer to manufacturer.
· Penetration time of glove material:
> 480 min (Nitril rubber 0.11 mm)
The exact penetration time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.
The above-mentioned times are based on reference values as per EN 374. Under practical conditions (33 °C – taking into account
the body temperature), the maximum wearing time is to be limited to one-third.
· Eye protection: Tightly sealed goggles
· Body protection: Protective work clothing
