Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

GENERAL ADVICE: Immediate medical attention is required. Delayed effects may occur after the exposure to the product.

IF INHALED: Take the victim into open air; keep them warm and calm. If breathing is irregular or stops, perform artificial respiration.

IN CASE OF SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin vigorously with water and soap or a suitable skin cleaner. NEVER use solvents or thinners. The use of personal protective equipment is recommended for people providing first aid (see section 8).

IN CASE OF EYE CONTACT: Wash eyes with plenty of clean and cool water for at least 10 minutes while pulling eyelids up, and seek medical assistance. Dont let the person to rub the affected eye.

IF SWALLOWED: If accidentally ingested, seek immediate medical attention. Keep calm. NEVER induce vomiting. 

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed.
Corrosive Product, contact with eyes or skin can cause burns; ingestion or inhalation can cause internal damage, if this occurs
immediate medical assistance is required.
Toxic Product, accidental contact may result in serious respiratory difficulties, alteration of the central nervous system and in
extreme cases, unconsciousness. Immediate medical assistance is required.
Contact with eyes may cause irreversible damage.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed.
Request immediate medical attention. Never administer anything orally to persons who are unconscious. Do not induce vomiting.
If the person vomits, clear the respiratory tract. Keep the person comfortable. Turn him/her over to the left side and stay there
while waiting for medical care.

Fire-fighting measures

SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING AGENTS: Extinguisher powder or CO2. In case of more serious fires, also alcohol-resistant foam and water spray.

UNSUITABLE EXTINGUISHING AGENTS: Do not use a direct stream of water to extinguish. In the presence of electrical voltage, you cannot use water or foam as extinguishing media.

SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIRE-FIGHTERS: Exposure to combustion or decomposition products can be harmful to your health.
During a fire and depending on its magnitude the following may occur:
- NOx (nitrogen oxides).
- Carbon oxides. 

Advice for firefighters.
Use water to cool tanks, cisterns, or containers close to the heat source or fire. Take wind direction into account. Prevent the
products used to fight the fire from going into drains, sewers, or waterways. Product residues and extinguishing media may
contaminate the aquatic environment.

Fire protection equipment.
According to the size of the fire, it may be necessary to use protective suits against the heat, individual breathing equipment,
gloves, protective goggles or facemasks, and boots. During extinction and depending on the magnitude and proximity to the fire,
additional protective equipment such as chemical protection gloves, heat-reflecting suits or gas-tight suits may be required.

Accidental release measures

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS: For exposure control and individual protection measures, see section 8.

 

ENVIROMENT PRECAUTIONS: Product dangerous for the environment, in case of large spills or if the product contaminates lakes, rivers, or sewers, inform the responsible authorities according to local legislation. Prevent the contamination of drains, surface or subterranean waters, and the
ground.

 

METHODS AND MATERIALS FOR CONTAINMENT AND CLEANING UP: Contain and collect spillage with inert absorbent material (earth, sand, vermiculite, Kieselguhr...) and clean the area immediately with a suitable decontaminant.
Deposit waste in closed and suitable containers for disposal, in compliance with local and national regulations (see section 13).

 

REFERENCE TO OTHER SECTIONS:

For exposure control and individual protection measures, see section 8.
For later elimination of waste, follow the recommendations under section 13.

Handling and storage

PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING: For personal protection, see section 8.
In the application area, smoking, eating, and drinking must be prohibited.
Follow legislation on occupational health and safety.
Never use pressure to empty the containers. They are not pressure-resistant containers. Keep the product in containers made of
a material identical to the original.

 

CONDITIONS FOR SAFE STORAGE: Store according to local legislation. Observe indications on the label. Store the containers between 5 and 25 º C, in a dry and
well-ventilated place, far from sources of heat and direct solar light. Keep far away from ignition points. Keep away from oxidising
agents and from highly acidic or alkaline materials. Do not smoke. Prevent the entry of non-authorised persons. Once the
containers are open, they must be carefully closed and placed vertically to prevent spills.

Exposure controls / personal protection

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:

PPE: Filter mask for protection against gases and particles.
Characteristics:«CE» marking, category III. The mask must have a wide field of vision and an anatomically designed form in order to be sealed and watertight.
CEN standards: EN 136, EN 140, EN 405
Maintenance: Should not be stored in places exposed to high temperatures and damp environments before use. Special attention should be paid to the state of the inhalation and exhalation valves in the face adaptor.
Observations: Read carefully the manufacturer's instructions regarding the equipment's use and maintenance. Attach
the necessary filters to the equipment according to the specific nature of the risk (Particles and aerosols: P1-P2-P3, Gases and vapours: A-B-E-K-AX), changing them as advised by the manufacturer.
