Description of first aid measures

Take off all contaminated clothing immediately.

Inhalation

If aerosol or mists are formed:

Move victims into fresh air.

In case of persistent discomfort: Consult doctor immediately.

Skin contact

Wash off immediately with plenty of water.

Consult a doctor in the event of permanent skin irritation.

Eye contact

With eye held open, thoroughly rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 10 minutes.

Continue rinsing process with eye rinsing solution.

Protect unharmed eye.

Call ambulance. (Cue: caustic burn of the eyes)

Immediate further treatment in eye clinic/by eye doctor. continue rinsing eye until arrival at ophthalmic hospital.

Ingestion

Have the mouth rinsed with water.

Only when patient fully conscious:

Have patient drink plenty of water in small sips.

Consult a physician immediately.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

Symptoms

After absorbing large amounts of substance:

Liberation of reaction products (Methanol) can lead to symptoms of poisoning.

Possible signs of poisoning:

daze, dizziness, nausea, colicky abdominal pain, respiratory disturbance.

Symptoms upon increasing intoxication: dysopia, loss of eyesight.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

If required, therapy of irritative effect.

Treatment:

Early endoscopy in order to assess mucosa lesions in the oesophagus and stomach which may appear. If necessary, aspirate leftover substance.

Detection of substance (Methanol) possible in:

Blood

Antidote treatment: ethanol.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media

foam, water spray, CO2, dry powder

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Hazardous fumes in fires, specific to the product:

nitrogen oxides (NOx)

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters

In case of fire: wear a self contained respiratory apparatus

Advice for firefighters

Water used to extinguish fire should not enter drainage systems, soil or stretches of water.

Ensure there are sufficient retaining facilities for water used to extinguish fire.

Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Use personal protective equipment.

Environmental precautions

Do not allow entrance in sewage water, soil stretches of water, groundwater, drainage systems.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust).

Transfer into suitable containers.

To be disposed of in compliance with existing regulations.

Suitable binder:       sand (for damming up), sawdust

Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection

In case of dusts/vapours/aerosols being formed or if the limit values like TLV are exceeded:

use respiratory equipment with suitable filter (filter type ABEK) or wear a self contained respiratory apparatus

Use only respiratory protection equipment with CE-symbol including four digit test number.

The filter class for the respirator must be suitable for the maximum expected contaminant concentration (gas/vapour/aerosol/particulates) that may arise when handling the product. If this concentration is exceeded, self-contained breathing apparatus must be used.

Note time limit for wearing respiratory protective equipment.

Hand protection

Glove material       for example, butyl-rubber

Material thickness       0,5 mm

Break through time       >= 480 min

Glove material       for example, Fluorinated rubber (Viton)

Material thickness       0,4 mm

Break through time       >= 480 min

Selection of protective gloves to meet the requirements of specific workplaces.

Suitability for specific workplaces should be clarified with protective glove manufacturers.

The information is based on our own tests, references from the literature and information from glove manufacturers, or derived by analogy with similar materials.

Please observe that the daily duration of usage of a chemical protective glove is in practice far shorter due to the many influencing factors (e.g. temperature, mechanical strain on the glove material) than the permeation time determined acc. EN 374.

Eye protection

close-fitting protective goggles (e.g. closed goggles)

Hygiene measures

When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Wash face and/or hands before break and end of work.

Remove immediately all contaminated clothing.

Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.

Protective measures

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices.

If workplace exposure limits are exceeded and/or larger amounts are released (leakage, spilling, dust) the indicated respiratory protection should be used.

If there is the possibility of skin/eye contact, the indicated hand/eye/body protection should be used.

Use protective clothing / face shield if necessary.

Do not breathe in vapours or aerosols.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Stability and reactivity

Possibility of hazardous reactions

Exothermic reaction with: acids

Hazardous decomposition products

Methanol in case of hydrolysis.

Disposal considerations

Product

With respect to local regulations, e.g. dispose of to suitable waste incineration plant.

Uncleaned packaging

Do not reuse empty containers and dispose of in accordance with the regulations issued by the appropriate local authorities.

If there is product residue in the emptied container, follow directions for handling on the container's label.

Incorrect disposal or reuse of this container is illegal and can be dangerous.

Other countries: observe the national regulations.
