First-aid measures
- General advice:
Move out of dangerous area.
Place and transport victim in stable position (lying sideways).
Remove contaminated clothing immediately and dispose of safely.
- Inhalation:
Move to fresh air.
Keep patient warm and at rest.
Call a physician or poison control center immediately.
- Skin contact:
Wash off thoroughly with plenty of soap and water, if available with polyethyleneglycol 400, subsequently rinse with water.
Call a physician or poison control center immediately.
- Eye contact:
Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes.
Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye.
Call a physician or poison control center immediately.
- Ingestion:
Rinse mouth.
Do NOT induce vomiting.
Call a physician or poison control center immediately.
Notes to physician
- Treatment:
Treat symptomatically.
In case of ingestion gastric lavage should be considered in cases of significant ingestions only within the first 2 hours. However, the application of activated charcoal and sodium sulphate is always advisable.
Fire-fighting measures
- Suitable extinguishing media:
Water spray
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Foam
Sand
- Specific hazards during fire fighting:
In the event of fire the following may be released:
Carbon monoxide (CO)
Sulphur oxides
- Special protective equipment for fire-fighters:
In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes.
In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
- Further information:
Contain the spread of the fire-fighting media.
Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.
Accidental release measures
- Personal precautions:
Avoid contact with spilled product or contaminated surfaces.
Use personal protective equipment.
- Environmental precautions:
Do not allow to get into surface water, drains and ground water.
- Methods for cleaning up:
Allow to solidify.
Use mechanical handling equipment.
Clean contaminated floors and objects thoroughly, observing environmental regulations.
Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.
Handling and storage
This substance is handled under Strictly Controlled Conditions in accordance with REACH regulation Article 17(3) for on-site isolated intermediates and, in case the substance is transported to other sites for further processing, the substance should be handled at these sites under the Strictly Controlled Conditions as specified in REACH regulation Article 18(4). Site documentation to support safe handling arrangements including the selection of engineering, administrative and personal protective equipment controls in accordance with risk-based management systems is available at each manufacturing site.
Written confirmation of application of Strictly Controlled Conditions has been received from every affected Distributor and Downstream Processor/User of the Registrant’s intermediate.
Handling:
- Advice on safe handling
Use only in area provided with appropriate exhaust ventilation.
Storage:
- Requirements for storage areas and containers
Store in original container.
Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place.
Store in a place accessible by authorized persons only.
- Advice on common storage:
Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs.

Exposure controls / personal protection
This substance is handled under Strictly Controlled Conditions in accordance with REACH regulation Article 17(3) for on-site isolated intermediates and, in case the substance is transported to other sites for further processing, the substance should be handled at these sites under the Strictly Controlled Conditions as specified in REACH regulation Article 18(4). Site documentation to support safe handling arrangements including the selection of engineering, administrative and personal protective equipment controls in accordance with risk-based management systems is available at each manufacturing site.
Written confirmation of application of Strictly Controlled Conditions has been received from every affected Distributor and Downstream Processor/User of the Registrant’s intermediate.
Personal precautions while handling the product:
- respiratory protection:
Wear respirator with a particle filter mask (protection factor 4) conforming to European norm EN149FFP1 or equivalent.
- hand protection:
Wear CE Marked (or equivalent) nitrile rubber gloves (minimum thickness 0,40 mm). Wash when contaminated. Dispose of when contaminated inside,when perforated or when contamination outside cannot be removed. Wash hands always before eating, drinking, smoking or using the toilet.
-skin/body protection:
Wear standard coverall and type 6 suit.
Wear two layers of clothing wherever possible. Polyester/cotton or cotton overalls should be worn under chemical protection suit and should be professionally laundered frequently.
If chemical protection suit is splashed, sprayed or significantly contaminated, decontaminate as far as possible, then carefully remove and dispose of as advised by manufacturer.
- eye protection:
Wear goggles conforming to EN166 (Field of Use 5 or equivalent).
- Hygene measures:
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.
Keep working clothes separately.
Wash hands immediately after work, if necessary take a shower.
