Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
Skin contact: Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a physician.
Eye contact: Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician.
Ingestion: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth with water. Consult a physician.
Fire-fighting measures
All fire extinguishing media are suitable.
Hazardous decomposition products: Hazardous decomposition products formed under fire conditions - Carbon oxides
Accidental release measures
Person-related safety precautions: Wear protective equipment. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Measures for environmental protection: Do not allow material to be released to the environment without proper governmental permits.
Measures for cleaning/collecting: Ensure adequate ventilation.
Handling and storage
Handling: Gloves, goggles and face mask to ensure personnel health and safety.
Storage: Store in a cool place. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Respiratory protection: Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a dust mask type N95 (US) or type P1 (EN 143) respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
Hand protection: The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it. Handle with gloves.
Eye protection: Safety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166.
Skin and body protection: It is a good industrial hygiene procedure to minimize skin contact.
Hygiene measures: Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of the workday.
Stability and reactivity
Hazardous decomposition products: Hazardous decomposition products formed under fire conditions - Carbon oxides
Disposal considerations
Removal to an authorized waste incinerator or as chemical waste in accordance with local regulations.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
