Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
General information
Remove soiled or soaked clothing immediately
In any case show the physician the Safety Data Sheet
After inhalation
Ensure supply of fresh air.
In the event of symptoms seek medical advice.
After contact with skin
In case of contact with skin, rub off with alcohol or white spirit and then wash with soap and plenty of water
After contact with eyes
In case of contact with eyes rinse thoroughly with plenty of water and seek medical advice
After ingestion
Call in a physician immediately and show him the Safety Data Sheet.
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media
water mist
dry powder
carbon dioxide
alcohol-resistant foam
Extinguishing media that must not be used for safety reasons
Full water jet
Special hazards from the substance itself, its combustion products or from its vapours
In the event of fire the following can be released:
Nitrogen oxides (NOx)
Carbon monoxide (CO)
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Combustion gases of organic materials must in principle be graded as inhalation poisons.
Special protective equipment for firefighting
Use self-contained breathing apparatus
Further information
Collect contaminated firefighting water separately, must not be discharged into the drains.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions
Use personal protective clothing.
Environmental precautions
Do not discharge into the drains/surface waters/groundwater.
Methods for cleaning up/taking up
Place for disposal in tightly closed containers.
Pick up rest with organic solvent.
Take up mechanically
Handling and storage
Advice on safe handling
Provide good ventilation of working area (local exhaust ventilation if necessary).
Advice on protection against fire and explosion
Take precautionary measures against electrostatic charges - earthing necessary during loading operations.
Ignitable mixtures can form in the empty container.
Keep away from sources of ignition - refrain from smoking.
Further information on storage conditions
Keep container tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place, open and handle carefully.

General protective measures
Avoid contact with eyes and skin
Do not inhale vapours
Hygiene measures
Remove soiled or soaked clothing immediately.
Wash hands before breaks and after work.
Observe the usual precautions when handling chemicals.
Respiratory protection : Use respiratory protection in case of insufficient exhaust ventilation or prolonged exposure
Full mask to standard DIN EN 136
Filter A (organic gases and vapours) to standard DIN EN 141
The use of filter apparatus presupposes that the environment atmosphere contains at least 17% oxygen by volume, and does not exceed the maximum gas concentration, usually 0.5% by volume. Relevant guidelines to be considered include EN 136/141/143/371/372 as well as other national regulations.
Hand protection :
For long-term exposure:
Viton-coated butyl rubber gloves
Minimum breakthrough time / gloves : 480 min
Minimum thickness / gloves 0,7 mm
For short-term exposure (splash protection):
Nitrile rubber gloves.
Minimum breakthrough time / gloves : 30 min
Minimum thickness / gloves 0,4 mm
These types of protective gloves are offered by various manufacturers. Please note the manufacturers´ detailed statements, especially about the minimum thickness and the minimum breakthrough time. Consider also the particular working conditions under which the gloves are being used.
Eye protection : safety glasses
Body protection : protective clothing
Stability and reactivity
Thermal decomposition : No decomposition if used as prescribed.
Hazardous reactions
Uncleaned empty vessels may contain product gases which can form explosive mixtures with air.
Disposal considerations
Product
In accordance with current regulations may be taken to waste disposal site or incineration plant, after consultation with site operator and/or with the responsible authority
Uncleaned packaging
Packaging that cannot be cleaned should be disposed of as product waste
