First-aid measures
Description of first aid measures
Pay attention to self-protection.
Remove victims from hazardous area. Immediately remove soiled or soaked clothing and remove it to a safe distance. Keep victim warm, in a stabilized position and covered.
Do not leave victims unattended.
If the casualty is unconscious: Place the victim in the recovery position.
Inhalation
Potential for exposure by inhalation if dusts or smoke are generated.
Move victims into fresh air.
With labored breathing: Provide with oxygen. Consult a doctor.
If the casualty is not breathing: Perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, notify emergency physician immediately.
Skin contact
Wash off affected area immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
If symptoms persist, consult a physician for treatment.
Eye contact
With eye held open, thoroughly rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 10 minutes.
Inform emergency physician immediately. (key term: caustic eye burn)
Ingestion
Rinse mouth.
Immediately give large quantities of water to drink.
Inform emergency physician immediately.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Symptoms
Causes burns.
Hazards
Strongly irritating to corrosive.4.3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
The initial focus is only on the local action, characterized by quickly progressing deep tissue damage.
Coughing is a symptom of respiratory tract after inhalation of dusts or smoke from caustic solids.
In the eye, caustic dusts or smoke cause, depending on the intensity of exposure, severe irritation, destruction, and ablation of the epithelium of the conjunctiva and cornea, corneal clouding, edema and ulcerations.
Danger! Possible loss of eyesight!
Superficial irritations and damage up to ulcerations and scarring develop on the skin.
Fire-fighting measures
xtinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media: Water spray, foam, CO2, dry powder.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: high volume water jet
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
In case of fire cool endangered containers with water.
Hazard-determining flue gases might develop in case of fire:
Carbon oxides
organic products of decomposition
nitrogen oxides (NOx)
Advice for firefighters
Contaminated extinguishing water must be treated at a suitable disposal plant in accordance with waste management laws.
Water used to extinguish fire should not enter drainage systems, soil or stretches of water.
In case of fire, remove the endangered containers and bring to a safe place, if this can be done safely.
Use water spray to cool unopened containers.
Fire residues should be disposed of in accordance with the regulations.
Pay attention to self-protection.
Keep out unprotected persons.
In case of fire: full protective suit and wear a self contained respiratory apparatus
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Keep unauthorized persons away.
Avoid contact with the skin and the eyes.
Avoid dust formation.
Environmental precautions
Observe regulations on prevention of water pollution (check, dam up, cover up).
Do not allow entrance in sewage water, soil, stretches of water, drainage systems, surface water.
If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Pick up mechanically and collect in a suitable container. Avoid formation of dust.
To absorb spilled substance an approved industrial vacuum cleaner is recommended. If necessary, the spilled substance should be moistened.
Clean contaminated surface thoroughly.
Pack and label wastes like the pure substance. Do not detach label from the delivery containers prior to disposal.
Disposal according to local authority regulations..
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Decant and handle product in separate areas only, e.g. use glove boxes, cabinets with differential pressure switch etc.
Ensure that apparatus and pipelines are free from leaks. Do not ventilate into the open.
Dedicated loading/unloading stations required.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Advice on protection against fire and explosion
Normal measures for preventive fire protection.
Ensure there are sufficient retaining facilities for water used to extinguish fire.
Storage
Store in the original receptacle, keeping this tightly sealed, under cool and dry conditions.
Further information
Protect from sunlight, warmth and heat.
In order to ensure due transportation, make certain that stacks are of the correct height, containers are securely fastened so as not to fall off, and labelled according to the regulations.
In the event of internal transportation, already-opened containers are to be kept closed in order to avoid spillage.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Exposure controls
Engineering measures
Decant and handle product in separate areas only, e.g. use glove boxes, cabinets with differential pressure switch etc.
Do not lead exhaust air back to workplace areas unfiltered.
Exhaust filter or scrubber.
exhaust air filter (HEPA-filter)
Do not add wastewater to a biological wastewater treatment plant
In case of dissolved solids:
Minimization of emissions by means of suitable technical measures such as flanges and valves with low leakage rates, recirculation of vapours.
Ensure that dust-handling systems (such as exhaust ducts, dust collectors, vessels, and processing equipment) are designed in a manner to prevent the escape of dust into the work area (i.e., there is no leakage from the equipment).
All precautionary measures indicated have to be observed.
Exposure controls
The substance must be handled under strictly controlled conditions in accordance with Article 17/18 of the REACH regulation.
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection
Accidental release measures
use respiratory equipment with suitable filter (filter type P3) or wear a self contained respiratory apparatus
Note time limit for wearing respiratory protective equipment.
Hand protection
Glove material Nitrile, for example, Dermatril 740, Kächele-Cama Latex GmbH (KCL), Germany
Material thickness 0,11 mm
Method DIN EN 374
Accidental release measures
Glove material Nitrile/Chloroprene, for example, Nitopren 717, Kächele-Cama Latex GmbH (KCL), Germany
Material thickness 0,65 mm
Method DIN EN 374
Selection of protective gloves to meet the requirements of specific workplaces.
Suitability for specific workplaces should be clarified with protective glove manufacturers.
Remember that the useful time per day of a chemical protection glove may be much shorter than the permeation time determined according to EN 374 due to the many different influential factors involved (e.g. temperature).
Eye protection
close-fitting protective goggles (e.g. closed goggles)
Skin and body protection
Select materials and equipment for physical protection depending on the concentration and volume of hazardous substances and the workplace involved.
