First-aid measures
4.1 General information: Call a physician in any case
4.2 In case of inhalation: Remove casualty to fresh air and keep warm and at rest. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration.
4.3 In case of skin contact: After contact with skin wash immediately with plenty of water and soap.
4.4 In case of eye contact: After contact with the eyes rinse with water with the eyelids open for a sufficient length of time. Then consult an ophthalmologist immediately.
4.5 In case of ingestion: If accidentally swallowed rinse the mouth with plenty of water (only if the person is conscious) and obtain immediate medical attention.
Fire-fighting measures

5.5.1 Surrounding fire is about to catch the packaging: Do not try to fight the fire. Evacuate the danger area immediately, take safe cover, warn uninvolved persons.
5.5.2 Surrounding fire: Fight surrounding fire with all available means. Prevent by all means, that the fire reaches the packaging.
Transport of dangerous goods: Remove vehicle from seat of fire.
Storage: Cool endagered containers with water.
Accidental release measures
6.1 Personal precautions: Avoid generation of dust. Wear personal protection equipment. Remove all sources of ignition. Remove persons to safety.
6.2 Environmental precautions: Do not allow to enter into soil/subsoil. Do not allow to enter into surface water or drains. Retain contaminated washing water and dispose it.
6.3 Methods for cleaning up: Do not dry up the product.
6.3.1 Suitable material for diluting or neutralizing: Dilute aequous caustic soda
6.3.2 Unsuitable material for diluting or neutralising: Flammable and oxidizing agents.

6.3.4 Unsuitable material for taking up: Methods with danger of ignition due to friction, impact or electrostatic discharge.
Handling and storage
7.1 Handling:
7.1.1 Advices on safe handling: It is recommended to design all work processes always so that the following is excluded:
Inhalation of dust/particles, skin contact, eye contact.
Workingplaces should be designed to allow cleaning at any time. Floors, walls and other surfaces in the hazard area must be cleaned regularly.
Only use the material in places where open light, fire and other flammable sources can be kept away. Wear personal protective clothing (see chapter 8). The danger areas must be delimited and identified using relevant warning and safety signs. By use of material provide adequate ventilation as well as local exhaustion with downstream wet scrubber at critical locations. The floor should be leak tight, jointless and not absorbent.
7.1.2 Precautions against fire and explosion:
The product is: explosive hazard.
Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. When using do not eat, drink, smoke, sniff. Increased risk of explosion in case of drying up. Handle with care - avoid bumps, friction and impact. Keep away from sources of heat (e.g. hot surfaces), sparks and open flames. Provide earthing of containers, equipment, pumps and ventilation facilities. Use explosion-proof machinery, apparatus, ventilation facilities, tools etc. Use only antistatic equipped (spark-free) tools.
Wear anti-static footwear and clothing. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
7.2 Storage:
7.2.1 Storage conditions:
Keep/store only in original container. Store in a place accessible by authorized persons only.
7.2.2 Hints on joint storage:
Storage class: Explosive substances
Storage group: 1.1
Compatibility group: A
Substances to avoid:
Do not store together with: A joint storage is only allowed with explosive substances of compatibility group A.
Recommended storage temperature: 20 °C
Relative air humidity (%): 68
