Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Eye contact: Immediately wash eyes with plenty of running water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Seek medical advice if irritation develops and persists.

Skin contact: Wash affected skin area with plenty of water and soap for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Seek medical advice if irritation develops and persists.

Inhalation: Remove the victim from exposure into fresh air if adverse effects (e.g. dizziness, drowsiness or respiratory irritation) occur. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Seek medical advice if cough or other symptoms appear.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media:       Foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide, water mist.

Unsuitable extinguishing media: Not known.

Exposure hazards (combustion products): On burning, this material may generate toxic gases such as oxides of carbon and hydrogen fluoride.

Special protective equipment for firefighters:        In the event of fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus and a chemical protective suit.

Special methods/instructions: Do not allow extinguishing water to reach ground water or sewage system. Contaminated extinguishing water has to be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions: Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8) during cleaning. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Avoid inhalation.

Environmental precautions: Prevent the material from entering surface water or sanitary sewer system. Do not discharge directly to a water source. If accidental spillage or washings enter drains or watercourses contact local Environment Agency.

Methods for cleaning up: Pick up with absorbent material. Sweep up absorbed substance, place in a solid waste container for later disposal. Residual trace can be wiped away. Prevent entry into sewers and waterways.
