Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
- General advice:
Take affected persons out of danger area and lay down.
In case of irregular breathing or respiratory arrest provide artificial respiration.
- Following inhalation:
Supply fresh air.
- Following skin contact:
Generally the product does not irritate the skin.
- Following eye contact:
Rinse opened eye for several minutes under running water.
Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.
- Following ingestion:
Rinse out mouth and then drink plenty of water.
Fire-fighting measures
- Suitable extinguishing media:
CO2, powder or water spray. Fight larger fires with water spray or alcohol resistant foam.
Use fire extinguishing methods suitable to surrounding conditions.
- Unsuitable extinguishing media:
Water with full jet.
- Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:
Formation of toxic gases is possible during heating or in case of fire.
In case of fire, the following can be released: Carbon monoxide, Carbon dioxide, Nitrogen oxides (NOx)
- Advice for fire fighter:
Protective equipment: Wear self-contained respiratory protective device.
Additional information: Cool endangered receptacles with water spray.
Collect contaminated fire fighting water separately. It must not enter the sewage system.
Accidental release measures
- Personal precautions, Protective equipment and emergency procedures:
Ensure adequate ventilation.
Wear protective equipment. Keep unprotected persons away.
- Environmental precautions:
Do not allow to enter sewers/ surface or ground water.
- Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Absorb with liquid-binding material (sand, diatomite, acid binders, universal binders, sawdust).
Dispose of the material collected according to regulations.
Handling and storage
- Precautions for safe handling:
Prevent formation of aerosols.
Information about fire and explosion protection: No special measures required.
- Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
Requirements to be met by storerooms and receptacles: Store only in the original receptacle.
Information about storage in one common storage facility: Store away from oxidising agents.
Further information about storage conditions: Store in cool, dry conditions in well sealed receptacles.

Exposure controls / personal protection
- Organisational protection measures: Do not eat, drink, smoke or sniff while working.
Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and feed.
The usual precautionary measures are to be adhered to when handling chemicals.
- Hand protection: Only use chemical-protective gloves with CE-labelling of category III.
The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation. Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation.
Material of gloves: 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: The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.
- Body protection: Protective work clothing
- Eye protection: Tightly sealed goggles
- Respiratory protection: Not necessary if room is well-ventilated.
