First-aid measures
Description of first aid measures:
In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
In case of inhalation:
IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell.
In case of skin contact:
Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated clothes and shoes. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. If skin irritation persists, call a physician.
In case of eyes contact:
IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention.
In case of ingestion:
Rinse mouth. IF SWALLOWED: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed:
The product is not classified as harmful to human health effect.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed:
If skin irritation or rash occurs, get medical advice/attention.
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media:
Suitable extinguishing media: Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: Not available.
Special hazards arising from the
substance or mixture In case of fire, the following can be released: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide.
Special fire fighting methods and
special protective actions for
fire-fighters: Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
For non-emergency personnel: Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Remove all sources of ignition. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and inhalation of vapors.
Use personal protection recommended in Section 8
For emergency responders: Wear an appropriate NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator if vapor is generated.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. See Section 12 for additional Ecological Information.
Methods for Containment and Cleaning
up: Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according to local / national regulations (see Section 13).
Reference to other sections: See Section 7 for information on safe handling.
See Section 8 for information on personal protection equipment.
See Section 13 for information on disposal.
Additional information: Not applicable.
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling:
Protective measures: Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Use personal protection recommended in Section 8.
Advice on general occupational
hygiene: Do not eat, drink and smoke in work areas. Wash hands after use. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.
Conditions for safe storage, including
any incompatibilities: Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Keep locked up and out of reach of children. Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. Protect from direct sunlight. Keep away from clothing as well as other incompatible materials. Keep in properly labeled containers.
Specific end use(s): Not applicable.

Additional exposure limits under the
conditions of use: Not available.
DNEL/DMEL and PNEC-Values: Not available.
Exposure controls:
Appropriate engineering controls: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutory limits.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment:
Eye/face protection: Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).
Hand protection: Wear protective gloves.
Body protection: Wear suitable protective clothing.
Respiratory protection: In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.
Thermal hazards: Wear suitable protective clothing to prevent heat.
Environmental exposure controls: Avoid discharge into the environment.
According to local regulations, Federal and official regulations.
Stability and reactivity
Reactivity: The substance is stable under normal storage and handling conditions.
Chemical stability: Stable at room temperature in closed containers under normal storage and handling conditions.
Possibility of hazardous reactions: No dangerous reactions known.
Conditions to avoid: Incompatible materials. Heat, flames and sparks.
Incompatible materials: Strong acids, Strong bases, Strong oxidizing agents.
Hazardous decomposition products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide.
Disposal considerations
Waste treatment methods: The material should be disposed of by incineration in a chemical incinerator in compliance with national and regional requirements. If empty container retains product residues, all label precautions must be observed. Return for reuse or dispose according to national or local regulations.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
