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:

Inhalation is possible if aerosols, mists, dusts, or smoke form.

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.

In case of persistent discomfort: Consult an ophthalmologist.

Ingestion:

Rinse mouth.

Immediately give large quantities of water to drink.

Obtain medical attention.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed:

Symptoms:

None known

Hazards:

Other dangerous properties can not be excluded.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed:

This substance does not have any noteworthy noxious potential. Damage to health is thus not expected.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing 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:

Formation of flammable or explosive vapour/air mixtures possible.

Hazard-determining flue gases might develop in case of fire:

hydrochloric acid

Carbon oxides

Advice for firefighters:

Water for fire fighting must not be introduced in the sewer system, subsoil, or surface waters. Assure that there are sufficient fire water retaining facilities Contaminated fire fighting water must be disposed of in conformity with the regulations of the local authorities.

Fire residues should be disposed of in accordance with the regulations.

during fire-fighting use self-contained breathing apparatus if necessary.

chemical protective suit, alkali-resistant, flame resistant

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Ensure that spaces including floor areas are well ventilated.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

use respiratory equipment with suitable filter

Wear personal protective equipment; see section 8.

Keep unauthorized persons away.

If possible, use material transfer/filling, metering and blending plants that are closed, or provide for local suction devices.

Environmental precautions:

Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.

Dam with sand or earth

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up_:

Take up mechanically or with a non-combustible absorbent material.

Do not allow to enter drains (danger of explosion).

Suitable binder:       universal absorbent, sand (for damming up)

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling:

Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at machinery.

Wear personal protective equipment; see section 8.

Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors.

Keep away from heat and sources of ignition.

Use permissible in closed systems only. Handle and transfer product in closed systems only (gas displacement device).

Ensure that apparatus and pipelines are free from leaks. Do not ventilate into the open.

Suitable loading and unloading device required.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:

Advice on protection against fire and explosion

Take precautionary measures against static charges, keep away from sources of ignition.

Forms explosive mixtures with air, even in contaminated containers.

Explosion protection equipment required.

Storage:

Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place.

Keep away from heat.

Keep away from direct sunlight.

Advice on common storage:

Comply with storage regulations and regulations prohibiting storage of hazardous substances in non-stationary containers in the same room (TRGS 510).

Temperature class       T2

Explosion group:       II A (DIN EN 57165 / VDE 0165/6.80)

Specific end use(s):

We are unaware of any specific end uses which go beyond the data reported in Section 1.
