Administrative data
First-aid measures
Inhalation: IF INHALED: Remove to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Skin contact: Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water. If a person feels unwell or symptoms of skin irritation appear, consult a physician.
Eye contact: Rinse immediately carefully and thoroughly with eye-bath or water. If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist
Ingestion If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show this SDS or label. Do not induce vomiting without medical advice. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Protection of first-aiders: Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Most Important Symptoms and Effects; Burning. Risk of serious damage to eyes. Irritating to mucous membranes. Redness.Swelling of tissue. May cause allergic skin reaction.
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed; Notes to physician treat symptomatically.

Exposure controls
Engineering measures: Maintain adequate engineering controls and/or ventilation to keep hazardous ingredients below their statutory limits. Use an approved respirator whenever exposure limits are exceeded
Hygiene Measures: Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice
Personal protective equipment
Eye protection: Tightly fitting safety goggles. Wear face-shield and protective suit for abnormal processing problems.
Hand protection: Protective gloves, Neoprene gloves. The determined penetration times according to EN374 part III are not performed under practical conditions. Therefore a maximum wearing time, which corresponds to 50% of the penetration time, is recommended.
Skin and body protection: Choose body protection in relation to its type, to the concentration and amount of dangerous substances, and to the specific work-place
Respiratory protection: In case of insufficient ventilation wear suitable respiratory equipment.
Environmental Exposure Controls: No information available.
Stability and reactivity
Stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions
Possibility of hazardous reactions: None known.
Conditions to avoid: Heat, flames and sparks
Incompatible Materials Oxidising agent

Disposal considerations
EWC waste disposal No: According to the European Waste Catalogue, Waste Codes are not product specific, but application specific.
Further Information: Waste codes should be assigned by the user based on the application for which the product was used
Contaminated packaging Empty containers should be taken to local recyclers for disposal
