Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
Skin Contact: Wash exposed area twice with soap and water. The exposed area should be examined by medical personnel if irritation or pain persists after the area has been washed.
Remove/Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Due to the corrosive nature of this material, burns are likely to occur. Ongoing contact with contaminated clothing may cause burns to appear after an extended exposure period. If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes immediately with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the eyelids. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do – continue rinsing.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure area to fresh air immediately. Keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration.
Keep affected person warm and at rest. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.
Ingestion: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. IF SWALLOWED: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. Rinse mouth.
Do NOT induce vomiting, this material is corrosive. Immediate dilution with milk or water is recommended, after which nothing should be administered orally until medical personnel have been contacted. Give oxygen if respiration is shallow. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Due to this material's corrosivity, it is essential to get medical attention as quickly as possible.
Thermal Exposure: Not applicable.
Note to Physician: No specific indications. Treatment should be based on the judgment of the physician in response to the reactions of the patient.
Fire-fighting measures
Flammability Classification: Combustible Liquid - Class II
Appropriate Extinguishing Media: Water, fog, Foam, Alcohol foam, Carbon dioxide, Dry chemical.
Hazardous Products of Combustion: Toxic fumes may be released upon thermal decomposition (cyanides, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide).
Potential for Dust Explosion: Not applicable.
Special Flammability Hazards: Severe explosion hazard in the form of vapor (within flammability limits) when exposed to heat, flame or static discharge.
Basic Fire Fighting Guidance: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing (i.e., Bunker gear). Skin and eye contact should be avoided. Normal fire fighting procedures may be used.
Accidental release measures
Containment Techniques and Clean-up Procedures:
Remove all ignition sources. Ventilate the area of spill or leak. Wear protective equipment during clean-up. For small spills, use suitable absorbent material and collect for later disposal.
For large spills, the area may require diking to contain the spill. Material can then be collected (e.g., suction) for later disposal. After collection of material, flush area with water. Dispose of the material in accordance with standard practice for disposal of potentially hazardous materials as required by applicable federal, state or local laws.
Evacuation Procedures: Isolate the hazard area and deny entry to unnecessary and unprotected personnel.
Special Instructions: Remove all contaminated clothing to prevent further absorption. Decontaminate affected personnel using the first aid procedures in Section 4. Leather shoes that have been saturated must be discarded.
Special Reporting Requirements: Notify appropriate authorities if required by regulation.
Handling and storage
Keep container tightly closed. Maintain dry, ventilated conditions for storage. Protect containers against physical damage. Outside or detached storage is preferable. Inside storage should be in standard flammable liquids storage room or cabinet. Keep away from strong acids and oxidizing agents. Should be periodically inspected. Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces – No smoking. Use explosion-proof electrical/ventilating/lighting/equipment. Ground/bond container and receiving equipment. Use only non-sparking tools. Take precautionary measures against static discharge.
Precautions for Unique Hazards: Not applicable.
Practices to Minimize Risk: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protectio. Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. Wear appropriate protective equipment when performing maintenance on contaminated equipment. Wash hands thoroughly before eating or smoking after handling this material.
Special Handling Equipment: Not applicable.
Dangerous Incompatibility Reactions: Avoid contact with strong acids and oxidizing agents.
Incompatibilities with Materials of Construction: May cause some forms of plastics and rubbers to deteriorate.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Personal Protective Equipment: Use approved chemical cartridge-respirator or supplied air breathing equipment. Chemical goggles should be worn at all times; use face shields as conditions warrant. Neoprene, nitrile or PVC-coated gloves. Impervious clothing and boots.
Respirator Caution: Use appropriate respirator type. Air-purifying respirators must not be used in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Ventilation: All operations should be conducted in well-ventilated conditions. Local exhaust ventilation should be provided.
Other Engineering Controls: All appropriate engineering controls should be used to minimize exposure potential. Use exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below exposure limits.
Stability and reactivity
Chemical Stability: Stable
Conditions to Avoid: Avoid static discharge and uncontrolled exposure to high temperatures.
Incompatibilities: Avoid contact with strong acids and oxidizing agents.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Toxic fumes may be released upon thermal decomposition (cyanides, nitrogen oxides, carbon
monoxide).
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
Disposal considerations
Waste is potentially ignitable.
Waste Disposal: Dispose of this material in accordance with standard practice for disposal of potentially hazardous materials as required by applicable national, state or local laws. Do NOT dump into any sewers, on the ground, or into any body of water. For disposal within the EC, the appropriate code according to the European Waste Catalogue (EWC) should be used. Note that disposal regulations may also apply to empty containers and equipment rinsates.
