First-aid measures
Most important symptoms and effects
Causes burns. Causes injury to the cornea and eyelids. Risk of serious damage to eyes. Irritating to respiratory
system, may cause delayed pulmonary oedema.
Description of first aid measures
General
Call a physician immediately.
Inhalation
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Oxygen may additionally be given, by trained
personnel, if it is available. Get medical attention immediately.
Skin
Immediately start continuous flushing of skin with water for at least 15 minutes, while removing contaminated
clothing and shoes. Get medical attention immediately. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean or
destroy contaminated shoes.
Eye
Immediately start continuous flushing of eyes with water for at least 15 minutes. If easy to do, contact lenses
should be removed during the flushing, by trained personnel. Hold the eyelids apart during the flushing to
ensure rinsing the entire surface of the eye and lids with water. Get medical attention immediately.
Ingestion
DO NOT induce vomiting. Get medical attention immediately by calling a physician or a poison control center. If
victim is conscious and alert, give a cupful of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious or
convulsing person. If vomiting occurs, the patient should lie on their left side while vomiting to reduce the risk of
aspiration.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Persons with pre-existing skin, eye, or respiratory disease may be at increased risk from the irritant or allergic
properties of this material.
Irrigate burn area with large amounts of water to decontaminate, if not already done. Chemical burns on the skin
should then be treated like thermal burns. Skin reactions may take 24-48 hours to develop. If eyes are affected, flush
eyes with buffered or plain irrigating solutions for at least 15 minutes, if not already done. If any ulceration or
conjunctival injury is present, have an ophthalmologist examine the patient. Application of cool water helps relieve pain
and swelling of both the skin and eyes. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Give patient plenty of water to drink.
Ingestion of this corrosive material may cause severe ulceration, inflammation, and possible perforation of the
gastrointestinal tract. Maintain adequate airway. Aspiration during induced emesis can result in severe lung injury.
Contact a Poison Control Center for additional treatment information. Treat any additional effects symptomatically.
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
CO2, dry chemical powder, dry sand, foam.
Unsuitable extinguishing media
water. See also Section: Other information.
Hazardous decomposition / combustion products
CO2, Carbon monoxide.
Hydrogen chloride.
Protective equipment
Firefighters must wear fire resistant protective equipment. Wear approved respirator and protective gloves.
Other information
Evacuate all non-essential personnel. Consider to let it burn out completely. Waterspray may only be used by
experienced fire fighters. Cool closed containers with water. After a fire, ventilate thoroughly the area and soak with
water, clean the walls and metallic surfaces.
Fire and explosion hazard
In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions
Do not breathe fumes/vapour. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. For personal protection see Section 8.
Environmental precautions
Do not allow to enter drains or water courses.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Stop leakage if possible. Allow controlled hydrolysis. Collect as much as possible in a clean container for (preferable)
reuse or disposal. Cover the remainder with inert absorbent (e.g. vermiculite) for disposal.
Other information
Evacuate personnel to safe area.
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Do not pipet by mouth. Do not breathe fumes/vapour. Handle in well ventilated
areas. Avoid contact with moisture and water. Keep under nitrogen. Handle only in closed system. During sampling,
disconnecting lines or opening connections, an aluminised suit should be worn. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Avoid Incompatible materials (See Section 10).
Fire and explosion prevention
No specific recommendations.
Conditions for safe storage
Store in accordance with local/national regulations. Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs. Keep under
dry nitrogen containing less than 10 ppm oxygen. Protect product from moisture and wet air. Keep container tightly
closed and in a well-ventilated place. Keep container upright to prevent leakage.
Other information
Wash hands thoroughly after handling or contact. Keep working clothing separately and do not take them home.
