Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

General advice: Remove contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. If required consult a doctor.

If inhaled:

Call the doctor immediately. Go outdoors. In case of breathing irregular or respiratory stop, administer artificial respiration.

In case of skin contact:

Wash your mouth with water and then drink plenty of water. DO NOT cause vomiting, call your doctor immediately.

Notes for the doctor treat symptomatically.

Hazards: Inhaled corrosive substances can lead to toxic edema of the lungs.

Symptoms: Irritation and corrosion

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media:

Carbon dioxide (CO2), Dry powder Foam, water spray.

Extinguishing media that should not be uses for security reasons:

High volume water jet.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

Special risk to the danger produced for the substance or its preparation, combustion of their products, or exhaust gases: In case of fire, dangerous decomposition products may be formed, as: Hydrogen chloride (HCl) gas. PHOSGENE.

Recommendations for firefighting personnel:

Special team for the fighting:

Personal protection composed of a chemical protection suit hermetic and a self-contained breathing apparatus.

Other specifications:

The remains of the fire as well as the contaminated extinguishing water, must be eliminated according to the local regulations in force. Keep them contained and cold surroundings with water spray.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Personal precautions:

Keep people away from the vanishing area and in the direction opposite to the wind. Use personal protective equipment. Avoid the contact with skin, eyes and clothing.

Environmental precautions:

Prevent spreading over large areas (eg by containment or oil barriers). Do not flush into surface water or sewer system sanitary. Avoid penetration in the subsoil.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning:

Trace and transfer correctly in labeled containers. Pick up wastes with an inert absorbent product (eg, sand, diatomite, acid fixative, universal fixer, sawdust).
