Description of first aid measures:

Inhalation:

Under normal conditions of intended use, this material is not expected to be an inhalation hazard. In case of inhalation: Move person into fresh air and keep at rest. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

Skin Contact:

Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash skin with soap and water. Get medical attention immediately. Contaminated clothing to be placed in closed container until disposal or decontamination. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.

Eye contact:

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media:
Suitable extinguishing media:
Water spray, foam, dry powder or carbon dioxide.
Unsuitable extinguishing media:
Avoid water in straight hose stream; will scatter and spread fire.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:
Thermal decomposition or combustion may liberate carbon oxides and other toxic gases or vapors.

Advice for firefighters:
Special fire-fighting procedures:
Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials. Remove undamaged containers from fire area if it is safe to do so. Evacuate to a safe location and contact the emergency services. Water spray should be used to cool containers.
Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. Do not allow entering drains or surface water.
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters:
Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Personnel not required or not equipped with personal protection should be evacuated from the area. Caution: Contaminated surfaces may be slippery. Follow safe handling advice and personal protective equipment recommendations. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Provide good ventilation. Avoid inhalation of vapors, mists or dusts. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Alert the Health, Safety & Environmental department of spill.

 

Environmental Precautions:

Do not release into the environment. Do not discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground. Collect spillage. Use containment for a large spill. Notify relevant authorities if this material is released to the environment.

 

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:

Access to contaminated area only to authorized people. Absorb with sand or other inert absorbent. Shovel up and place in a container for salvage or disposal. For large spills, provide dyking or other appropriate containment to keep material from spreading. If dyked material can be pumped, store recovered material in appropriate container. Never return the spilled product to its original container for reuse. Containers with collected spillage must be properly labelled with correct contents and hazard symbol. Container must be kept tightly closed. To clean the floor and all objects contaminated by this material, use an appropriate solvent. Flush area with plenty of water. Ensure that waste and contaminated materials are collected and removed from the work area as soon as possible in a suitably labeled container. Dispose of residue in accordance with regulations in force.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling:
Precautions:
Avoid inhalation of vapors/aerosols/dusts and contact with skin and eyes. Provide adequate ventilation, including appropriate local extraction, to ensure that the defined occupational exposure limit is not exceeded. If ventilation is insufficient, suitable respiratory protection must be provided. Provide eyewash station and safety shower and ensure that their location are labelled conspicuously. Limit the quantities of product in the work area to those which are necessary for the work in hand. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices. Handle and open container with care. Protect from contamination. Do not mix with incompatible materials. Take care to prevent spills, waste and minimize release to the environment. In case of spills, beware of slippery floors and surfaces.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
Store in accordance with local/regional/national regulations. Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground. Provide impermeable soil. Store in a dry place. Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed. Keep in properly labelled containers. Keep above the chemical's freezing point. Protect against physical damage and/or friction. Store away from incompatible materials.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Control Parameters:

Monitoring methods:

Ensure workers' exposure monitoring in accordance with national and European regulations in force, in particular Directives 98/24/EC and 2004/37/EC.

 

Exposure controls:

Appropriate Engineering Controls:

Use engineering controls to reduce air contamination to permissible exposure level. The level of protection and types of controls necessary will vary depending upon potential exposure conditions. Engineering controls are always preferable to personal protective equipment. Control measures to consider: Provide adequate ventilation. In case of inadequate ventilation: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Provide eyewash station and safety shower.

 

Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment:

Avoid inhalation of vapors/aerosols/dusts and contact with skin and eyes. Personal protective equipment should be chosen according to applicable standards, adapted to the conditions of use of the product and in discussion with the supplier of the personal protective equipment.

• Eye/face protection: Safety glasses with side shields


• Hand Protection: protective gloves

Example for Prolonged or repeated contact:

Material: Nitrile.

Glove thickness: 1,25 mm

Guideline: EN374-3

Example for Short contact:

Material: Nitrile / Neoprene

Glove thickness: 0,198 mm

Guideline: EN374-3

• Skin and Body Protection: Wear appropriate clothing to prevent any possibility of skin contact. Isolate contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. In case of splashes: Wear apron or special protective clothing.


• Respiratory Protection: If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposure limits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level (in countries where exposure limits have not been established), an approved respirator must be worn. Use the following CE approved air-purifying respirator: Breathing apparatus with combined filter type ABEK. Wear respiratory protection with combination filter (dust and gas filter) during operations leading to the formation of dust/aerosols.

Stability and reactivity
