Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Description of first aid measures

General advice:

Move out of dangerous area. Do not leave the victim unattended. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.

If inhaled:

Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel. If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately. Maintain open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If symptoms persist, call a physician.

In case of skin contact:

Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. If symptoms persist, call a physician.

In case of eye contact:

Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Keep eye wide open while rinsing. Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. Remove contact lenses. Protect unharmed eye. If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.

If swallowed:

Rinse mouth with water. Give small amounts of water to drink. Stop if the exposed person feels sick as vomiting may be dangerous. DO NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by a physician or poison control center. If vomiting occurs, the head should be kept low so that vomit does not enter the lungs. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately. Maintain open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If symptoms persist, call a physician.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

None known.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Treatment:

Treat symptomatically

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media:

Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide

Unsuitable extinguishing media:

None known

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Specific hazards during firefighting:

Very toxic to aquatic organisms. Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.

Hazardous combustion products:

Carbon dioxide (CO2), Carbon monoxide, Oxides of phosphorus

Advice for firefighters

Special protective equipment for firefighters:

Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.

Further information:

Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This must not be discharged into drains. 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

Personal precautions:

No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Do not touch or walk through spilt material. Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing dust. Ensure adequate ventilation. In case of inadequate ventilation wear respiratory protection. Use personal protective equipment.

Environmental precautions

Environmental precautions:

Avoid dispersal of spilt material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities. Harmful to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up

Methods for cleaning up:

Move containers from spill area. Stop leak if safe to do so. Pick up and arrange disposal without creating dust. Vacuum or sweep up material and place in a designated, la-belled waste container. Dispose of wastes in an approved waste disposal facility.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Advice on safe handling:

Avoid release to the environment. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid creating dust. Avoid breathing dust. Provide sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Keep in the original container or an approved alternative made from a compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in use. Electrical equipment should be protected to the appropriate standard.

Advice on protection against fire and explosion:

Normal measures for preventive fire protection. Provide ap-propriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed

Hygiene measures:

General industrial hygiene practice. When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Wash hands and face before breaks and immediately after handling the product. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Requirements for storage areas and containers

Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in a segregated and approved area. Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials and food and drink. Keep containers sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Protect from moisture. Ensure effective ventilation. Electrical installations / working materials must comply with the technological safety standards.

Recommended storage temperature:

< 40 °C

Storage class (TRGS 510): 13, Non Combustible Solids

Advice on common storage:

No materials to be especially mentioned

Further information on storage stability:

No decomposition if stored and applied as directed.
