First-aid measures
Description of first aid measures
Immediately remove contaminated clothing. First aid personnel should pay attention to their own safety. If the patient is likely to become unconscious, place and transport in stable sideways position (recovery position).
If inhaled:
Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air, seek medical attention. Immediately administer a corticosteroid from a controlled/metered dose inhaler.
On skin contact:
Immediately wash thoroughly with plenty of water, apply sterile dressings, consult a skin specialist.
On contact with eyes:
Immediately wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open, consult an eye specialist.
On ingestion:
Rinse mouth immediately and then drink plenty of water, seek medical attention.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Symptoms: Eye irritation, skin irritation, allergic symptoms
Hazards: Symptoms can appear later.
4.3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Treatment: Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions), no known specific antidote. Pulmonary odema prophylaxis. Medical monitoring for at least 24 hours.

Handling and storage
7.1. Precautions for safe handling
Ensure thorough ventilation of stores and work areas. Protect against moisture. Adequate extraction of the vapours is necessary when working with open containers. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.
Protection against fire and explosion:
Prevent electrostatic charge - sources of ignition should be kept well clear - fire extinguishers should be kept handy.
7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Segregate from alkalies and alkalizing substances. Keep away from water. Segregate from foods and animal feeds.
Further information on storage conditions: Protect from direct sunlight. Protect against heat. Keep only in the original container. Frequently check condition of drums (increase in pressure, bulging, rust). Product has to be immediately consumed or disposed of, if signs of pressure increase or bulging are being detected at a drum. Formation of CO2 and build up of pressure possible. Danger of bursting when sealed gastight. Keep container tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place.
Storage stability:
Storage temperature: < 40 °C
Storage duration: 6 Months
Improper storage may result in a pressure build-up in the storage containers.
From the data on storage duration in this safety data sheet no agreed statement regarding the warrantee of application properties can be deduced.
7.3. Specific end use(s)
For the relevant identified use(s) listed in Section 1 the advice mentioned in this section 7 is to be observed.

Exposure controls / personal protection
8.2. Exposure controls
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection:
Respiratory protection in case of vapour/aerosol release. Combination filter for gases/vapours of organic compounds and solid and liquid particles (f.e. EN 14387 Type A-P2)
Hand protection:
Suitable chemical resistant safety gloves (EN 374) also with prolonged, direct contact (Recommended: Protective index 6, corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to EN 374): E.g. nitrile rubber (0.4 mm), chloroprene rubber (0.5 mm), butyl rubber (0.7 mm) etc.
Manufacturer's directions for use should be observed because of great diversity of types.
Supplementary note: The specifications are based on tests, literature data and information of glove manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions (e.g. temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined through testing.
Eye protection:
Tightly fitting safety goggles (splash goggles) (e.g. EN 166)
Body protection:
Body protection not required.
General safety and hygiene measures
Wearing of closed work clothing is required additionally to the stated personal protection equipment. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. Avoid inhalation of vapour. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Hands and/or face should be washed before breaks and at the end of the shift. At the end of the shift the skin should be cleaned and skin-care agents applied.

Stability and reactivity
10.1. Reactivity
No hazardous reactions if stored and handled as prescribed/indicated.
Corrosion to metals: Corrodes metals in the presence of water.
Reactions with air or water/air: Flammable gases: no
Reaction with water: Flammable gases: no
Toxic gases: yes
Which toxic gases: hydrogen chloride (HCl)
Corrosive gases: yes
Which corrosive gases: hydrogen chloride (HCl)
Smoke or fog: yes
Type of smoke or fog: Hydrochloric acid
Formation of flammable gases: Forms no flammable gases in the presence of water.
10.2. Chemical stability
Even when products are stored appropriately a slowly decomposition reaction takes place. If the storage conditions and duration are taken into account, no hazard is caused by the product.
10.3. Possibility of hazardous reactions
At elevated temperatures gas forming exothermic decomposition reaction may occur. The formation of gaseous decomposition products builds up pressure in tightly closed containers if the product is greatly overheated. Reacts with water and basic components to generate heat. Reacts with alcohols, amines, aqueous acids and alkalies. Reacts with water and moisture, with formation of hydrogen chloride. Evolution of corrosive gases/vapours. Partly very violent reactions with bases and numerous organic classes of substances such as alcohols and amines. Impurities promote decomposition. Energy is released when reacting with e.g. acids, alkaline reacting substances, amines or catalysts. ppm traces of heavy metals reduce the onset temperature and lead to instability and exothermic product release with gas formation. Vapours may form ignitable mixture with air.
10.4. Conditions to avoid
