First-aid measures

Description of first aid measures
Pay attention to self-protection.
Remove victims from hazardous area. Immediately remove soiled or soaked clothing and remove it to a safe distance. Keep victim warm, in a stabilized position and covered.
Do not leave victims unattended.
If the casualty is unconscious: Place the victim in the recovery position.

Inhalation
Inhalation is possible if aerosols, mists, dusts, or smoke form.
Move victims into fresh air.
With labored breathing: Provide with oxygen. Consult a doctor.
If the casualty is not breathing: Perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, notify emergency physician immediately.

Skin contact
Wash off affected area immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
With liposoluble substances, products, or preparations, continue decontamination with polyethylene glycol 400 after initial rinsing with water and then wash with water and soap.
If symptoms persist, consult a physician for treatment.

Eye contact
With eye held open, thoroughly rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 10 minutes.
Consult an ophthalmologist immediately if the symptoms persist.
When dealing with caustic substances, notify emergency physician immediately (key words: burns in eye).

Ingestion
Rinse mouth.
Immediately give large quantities of water to drink.
Obtain medical attention.
When dealing with caustic substances, notify emergency physician immediately.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

Symptoms
Irritation of skin and mucous membranes
Causes burns.
daze,
Headache, vertigo, somnolence (sleepiness), nausea.
Aspiration in the lungs might cause a chemical pneumonia.
Aspiration may cause pulmonary oedema and pneumonitis.
Health injuries may be delayed.

Hazards
Strongly irritating to corrosive.Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed.Vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
In case of substances with high water solubility, inhalation of vapors, aerosols, mists, and smoke from caustic substances, products, and preparations, as well as caustic gases, results in irritations up to formation of necrosis in the upper respiratory tract.
The initial focus is on the local action: signs of irritation of the respiratory tract such as coughing, burning behind the sternum, tears, burning in the eyes or nose.
There is a fundamental risk of acute toxic pulmonary edema!
In case of substances with low water solubility, only slight local irritations may appear at first, but after several hours of latency without symptoms, may develop into increasingly labored breathing and cyanosis as a result of a delayed pulmonary edema.
There is a danger of underestimating the severity of the intoxication!

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media:
dry sand
dry powder
Alcohol-resistant foam

Unsuitable extinguishing media:
water
foam
CO2
water spray
high volume water jet
Halons

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
In case of fire-fighting with water or foam be aware of dangers of corrosion and of slipping.
Hazard-determining flue gases might develop in case of fire:
Carbon monoxide
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Reacts with water forming an alcaline solution.

Advice for firefighters
Water for fire fighting must not be introduced in the sewer system, subsoil, or surface waters. Assure that there are sufficient fire water retaining facilities Contaminated fire fighting water must be disposed of in conformity with the regulations of the local authorities.
Fire residues should be disposed of in accordance with the regulations.
In case of fire: full protective suit and wear a self contained respiratory apparatus

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.
Keep unauthorized persons away.

Environmental precautions
Do not allow entrance in sewage water, drainage systems, stretches of water, soil.
Observe regulations on prevention of water pollution (check, dam up, cover up).

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Cover with dry sand
Suitable binder:
sand (for damming up), dry sand

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling
Use permissible in closed systems only. Handle and transfer product in closed systems only (gas displacement device).
Ensure that apparatus and pipelines are free from leaks. Do not ventilate into the open.
Suitable loading and unloading device required.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Advice on protection against fire and explosion
Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.
No sparking tools should be used.
In use, may form flammable/explosive vapour-air mixture.

Storage
Store in the original receptacle, keeping this tightly sealed, under cool and dry conditions.
Protect from warming.
Avoid humidity and water.
Storage under inert gas (nitrogen) recommended.
Suitable materials:
stainless steel
Unsuitable materials:
light metals and their alloys

Further information
In order to ensure due transportation, make certain that stacks are of the correct height, containers are securely fastened so as not to fall off, and labelled according to the regulations.

Exposure controls / personal protection

8.1. Control parameters

DNEL/DMEL values
Remarks: No substance-related safety assessment is necessary / has been conducted for this product.

PNEC values Remarks: No substance-related safety assessment is necessary / has been conducted for this product.

Exposure controls
Refill and handle product only in closed system.
