Description of first aid measures

Immediately remove contaminated clothing. If danger of loss of consciousness, place patient in recovery position and transport accordingly. Apply artificial respiration if necessary.

First aid personnel should pay attention to their own safety. Remove contaminated clothing while wearing breathing protection. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing.

If inhaled:

If breathing difficulties develop, aid in breathing and seek immediate medical attention. Immediately administer a corticosteroid from a controlled/metered dose inhaler. Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air, seek medical attention.

On skin contact:

Flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Sterile protective dressing. Immediate medical attention required.

On contact with eyes:

Immediately wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open, consult an eye specialist. Immediate medical attention required.

On ingestion:

Immediately rinse mouth and then drink plenty of water, do not induce vomiting, seek medical attention. Immediate medical attention required.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media:

carbon dioxide, dry powder, water spray, foam

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Vapors and/or decomposition products are irritant and/or toxic. Risk of violent self-polymerization if overheated in a container.

Advice for fire-fighters

Special protective equipment:

Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus.

Further information:

In case of a fire in the vicinity a restabilization system should be used if the temperature in the storage container reaches 45°C. Evacuate area of all unnecessary personnel.

Contaminated extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with official regulations

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Breathing protection is mandatory. Personal protection: wear a tightly closed chemical protection suit and a self-contained breathing apparatus.

Environmental precautions

Suppress gases/vapours/mists with water spray jet. Contain contaminated water/firefighting water. Do not discharge into waterways or sewer systems without proper authorization.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

For small amounts: Dilute with plenty of water. Use chemical neutralizing agents.

For large amounts: Suppress gases/vapours/mists with water spray jet. Dilute with plenty of water. Pump off product. Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with regulations.

For residues: Pick up with suitable absorbent material.

Cleaning operations should be carried out only while wearing breathing apparatus. Suppress gases/vapours/mists with water spray jet. Clean contaminated floors and objects thoroughly with water and detergents, observing environmental regulations. Collect waste in suitable containers, which can be labeled and sealed.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. The substance/ product may be handled only by appropriately trained personnel.

Ensure thorough ventilation of stores and work areas. Encapsulation or exhaust ventilation required. When filling, transferring, or emptying of containers, adequate local exhaust ventilation is necessary. Vent waste air to atmosphere only through suitable separators. Check the condition of seals and connector screw threads. Do not open warm or swollen product containers. Remove persons to safety and alert fire brigade.

The temperatures which must be avoided are to be considered. Protect against heat. Protect from direct sunlight. Protect contents from the effects of light.

Protection against fire and explosion:

Substance/product can form explosive mixture with air. Ground all transfer equipment properly to prevent electrostatic discharge. Containers should be grounded against electrostatic charge. It is recommended that all conductive parts of the machinery are grounded. Avoid all sources of ignition: heat, sparks, open flame. Vapours may form explosive mixture with air. Ignitable mixtures can be formed in the emptied container.

Heated containers should be cooled to prevent polymerization. If exposed to fire, keep containers cool by spraying with water. Emergency cooling must be provided for the eventuality of a fire in the vicinity. Sealed containers should be protected against heat as this results in pressure build-up. Avoid influence of heat.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Segregate from alkalies and alkalizing substances.

Further information on storage conditions: Prior to storage ensure that the transfer equipment used and the intended storage containers do not contain other substances/products. Before transfer to stock the identity of the product must be proved to be without doubt. The entrance to storage rooms is to be granted only to appropriately trained personnel.

Risk of polymerization. Protect against heat. Protect from direct sunlight. Protect contents from the effects of light. Avoid UV-light and other radiation with high energy. Protect against contamination.

All storage containers should at least be equipped with two high temperature alert devices.

Even if the product is stored and handled as prescribed/indicated it should be used up within the indicated duration of storage.

Storage stability:

Storage temperature: < 30 °C

Storage duration: 2 Months

The stated storage temperature should be noted.

Avoid prolonged storage.

This product should be processed as soon as possible.

Check frequently to ensure that stabilizer content is adequate.

The product is stabilized, the shelf life should be noted.

Storage temperature: 40 °C

A restabilization system should be used if the temperature in the storage container reaches the indicated value.

Storage temperature: 50 °C

All personnel in a greater area should be evacuated if the temperature in the storage container reaches the indicated value.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Personal protective equipment:

Respiratory protection:

Breathing protection if gases/vapours are formed. Self-contained breathing apparatus.

Hand protection:

Suitable materials also with prolonged, direct contact (Recommended:  Protective index 6, corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to EN 374):

butyl rubber (butyl) - 0.7 mm coating thickness

Supplementary note: The specifications are based on tests, literature data and information of glove manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions (e.g. temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined through testing.

Manufacturer's directions for use should be observed because of great diversity of types.

Eye protection:

Tightly fitting safety goggles (splash goggles) (e.g. EN 166)

Body protection:

Body protection must be chosen depending on activity and possible exposure, e.g. apron, protecting boots, chemical-protection suit (according to EN 14605 in case of splashes or EN ISO 13982 in case of dust).

General safety and hygiene measures

Contact with eyes and skin must be avoided. Avoid inhalation of vapour. Wearing of closed work clothing is required additionally to the stated personal protection equipment.
