First-aid measures

Symptoms and effects


The product is expected to be corrosive to eyes, skin and irritating to upper respiratory tract. May be harmfull by inhalation of aerosols.


First aid


General


In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical attention.


 


Inhalation


Provide fresh air, rest, half upright position. Seek medical advice after significant exposure.


 


Skin


Remove immediately all contaminated clothing. Wash off with soap and water. Seek medical advice if irritation develops. Launder contaminated clothes with plenty of water before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes if made of leather.


 


Eye


Rinse immediately and as long as possible with plenty of water (at least 15 minutes). Eyelids should be held away from the eyeball to ensure thorough rinsing. DO NOT remove contact lenses.


 


Ingestion


Only when conscious, rinse mouth, give plenty of water to drink. DO NOT induce vomiting. Seek medical advice.


 


Advice to physician


No specific antidote known. Symptomatic treatment is advised. If burn is present treat as any thermal burn after decontamination. If necessary evacuation of the stomach contents should be undertaken by means carrying the least likelihood of aspiration (e.g. gastric lavage in combination with endotracheal intubation).

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media


water, spray, foam, sand, Carbon dioxide, dry powder.


Unsuitable extinguishing media


halones.


Hazardous decomposition / combustion products


Nitrous gases may be produced.


Protective equipment


Wear self contained breathing apparatus. Wear a standard aluminised firefighting suit.


Other information


Cool closed containers with water. Do not direct a solid stream of water or foam into the burning material; this may cause spattering and spread the fire. Water used to extinguish a fire should not be allowed to enter the drainage system or water courses.


Fire and explosion hazard


Toxic fumes.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions


Avoid contact during pregnancy/while nursing. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. For personal protection see also Section Exposure Controls/Personal protections.


 


Environmental precautions


Avoid release in the environment. Treat using the best available techniques before discharge into drains or the aquatic environment.


 


Methods for cleaning up


Absorb with sand, sweep up and put into a container for disposal. Flush remainder with water.

Handling and storage

Handling


Do not breathe mist/vapours/spray.


Persons with a history of sensitization of the skin or the respiratory tract should not be employed in any process in which this product is used. Transfer and handle product only in closed system. When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Use only in well-ventilated areas. When workers are facing concentrations above 1 ppm v/v they must use appropriate certified respirators.


 


Fire and explosion prevention


Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.


 


Storage requirements


Store in a dry well ventilated place away from sources of heat and direct sunlight. Store in closed containers preferably under nitrogen. Avoid contact with atmospheric moisture.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Engineering controls


Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Use only in closed system. Do not use copper, nickel and cobalt containing alloys in process equipment. Ensure good ventilation and local exhaustion of the working area.


Personal protection


Respiratory


When workers are facing concentrations above 1 ppm v/v they must use appropriate certified respirators. Use self-contained or supplied-air respiratory equipment with filter K. When aerosols are present the combined cartridge K/P should be used.


Hand
