First-aid measures
-Eye contact
Wash immediately with large amounts of water or normal saline. Keep eyelids open with the finger. Get medical advice if irritation occours.
-Skin contact
Remove contaminated clothes and shoes immediately. Wash affected area with soap or mild detergent and large amount of water until no evidence of substance remains (15-20 minutes). Get medical advice if irritation occours.
- Ingestion
If swallowed wash mouth with water provided person is conscious. Get medical advice and show container or label.
- Inhalation
Avoid breathing dusts that may be generated by handling of the product. Remove the person from the exposed area to fresh air immediately. Get medical advice if adverse symptoms will appear.
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable estinguishing media :
Nebulised water, chemical powder, foam , CO2
Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire.
Small fire: carbon dioxide , foam
Large fire: fog, foam.
Unsuitable estinguishing media :
Unsuitable estinguishing media aren’t known
Adding water to caustic solution generates large amounts of heat.
Hazardous combustion products May produce toxic fumes of COx, NOx and Cl-.
Advice for firefighters
Don’t try to extinguish the fire without an autonomous respiratory device (SCBA) and protective adapted clothes.
Wear boots, overalls, gloves, eye and face protection and breathing apparatus. Equipment must be conformed with EN criteria and used in
highest condition of protection on the basis of the information reported in the dossier.
Accidental release measures
- Eye :Wear suitable protected devices.
- Skin :Wear suitable clothes with full body protection.
- Inhalation :In case of fire and/or explosions avoid to breathe smokes and vapors. Use a respiratory device autonomous (SCBA) and adapted protective clothes. The vapors can be eliminated through nebulized with water.
In case of accidental spilling (non in normal condition of use) the use of Personal Protection Equipment is always recommended. This PPE must be in accordance with EN criteria.
In case of accidental release in the environment avoid that the substance can reach drains, surface water and ground water.
Containment procedures: Collect all of the material scattered on the ground with protective equipment adapted and put it in a clean and dry container. Ventilate area of leak or spill. Keep unnecessary and unprotected people away from area of spill.
Cleaning up procedures: Recover the substance for suction or with other mechanic means and wash the with plenty of water and cleanings. Store the recovered product recovered in wait of the skilled disposal society. If the effusion happened in highway or in a public place, suitable trickiness should be adopted in order to protect the people from any risk.
Absorb neutralized caustic residue on clay, vermiculite or other inert substance and package in a suitable container for disposal.
Handling and storage

Exposure controls / personal protection
Eye and Face protection Safety goggles as for EN 166; facial shield
Skin protection
- hands protection Gloves resistant to chemical agents as for the EN 374, parts 1, 2 e 3 and the European Directive 89/89/CEE.
The gloves material must be waterproof and stable against the mixture content.
Select the glove material on the basis of the type of the material, typical or minimal breakdown times, permeability ranges, thickness.
Material : nitrile (nitrilic rubber), ipoallergenic
Thickness : not inferior to 0.12 mm
- other, body protection Select the suitable protective equipment based on the activity of use and possible exposure. Wear gauntlets, boots, bodysuit and other devices in accordance with EN 14605 in case of sketches or EN 13982 in case of powders
Respiratory protection
When the risk evaluation foresees the need to use respirator devices with assisted ventilation, use a powder filter like P1, P2 and P3. Use only devices approved by the Competent Authorities such as NIOSH (USA) and CEN (EU)
For your information powders are divide in three categories :
2a (inert powder with TLV= 10 mg/m3),
2b (hazards powders with TLV = 0,1-10 mg/m3 (excluding asbestos),
2c (toxic powders with TLV < 0,1 mg/m3 (asbestos, carcinogens, bacteria,
viruses, enzymes, spores, etc).
Cat. 2a: P1 filter, Cat. 2b: P2 filter, Cat.2c: P3 filter
Stability and reactivity
The substance is stable at the normal condition of temperature and pressure and if stored in closed containers in well ventilated and cool place.
Condition to avoid: Heat, moisture, Strong oxidising agents.
If heated at high temperatures, decomposes re leasing fumes and toxic gases of COx, NOx and Cl-.
Disposal considerations
Refers to Community/National/Local requirements concerning the waste disposal.
