First-aid measures

Description of first aid measures

Immediately remove contaminated clothing. If the patient is likely to become unconscious, place and transport in stable sideways position (recovery position). First aid personnel should pay attention to their own safety.

If inhaled:

Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air, seek medical attention. Immediately administer a corticosteroid from a controlled/metered dose inhaler.

On skin contact:

Immediately wash thoroughly with plenty of water, apply sterile dressings, consult a skin specialist.

On contact with eyes:

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

On ingestion:

Immediately rinse mouth and then drink 200-300 ml of water, seek medical attention.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

Symptoms: Information, i.e. additional information on symptoms and effects may be included in the GHS labeling phrases available in Section 2 of the MSDS and in the Toxicological assessments available in Section 11 of the MSDS.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Treatment: Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions), no known specific antidote. Pulmonary odema prophylaxis. Medical monitoring for at least 24 hours.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media:

dry powder, carbon dioxide, foam, water spray

Unsuitable extinguishing media for safety reasons:

water jet

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

chlorine compounds

The substances/groups of substances mentioned can be released in case of fire.

Advice for fire-fighters

Special protective equipment:

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-protective clothing.

Further information:

Dispose of fire debris and contaminated extinguishing water in accordance with official regulations.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Breathing protection required. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing.

Environmental precautions

Do not empty into drains.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

For small amounts: Pick up with suitable absorbent material (e.g. sand, sawdust, general-purpose binder, kieselguhr). Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with regulations.

For large amounts: Dike spillage. Pump off product.

For residues: Pick up with suitable absorbent material (e.g. sand, sawdust, general-purpose binder, kieselguhr). Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with regulations.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Ensure thorough ventilation of stores and work areas. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Protect against moisture.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Segregate from amines. Segregate from alkalies and alkalizing substances.

Further information on storage conditions: Keep container tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place.

Storage stability:

Storage duration: 6 Months

From the data on storage duration in this safety data sheet no agreed statement regarding the warrantee of application properties can be deduced.

Specific end use(s)

For the relevant identified use(s) listed in Section 1 of the MSDS the advice mentioned in this section is to be observed.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Control parameters

Components with occupational exposure limits

No substance specific occupational exposure limits known.

Exposure controls

Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection:

Self-contained breathing apparatus.

Hand protection:

Chemical resistant protective gloves (EN 374)

Performance level 6, corresponding to a breakthrough time of >480 min according to EN ISO 374-1

fluoroelastomer (FKM) - 0.7 mm coating thickness

Performance level 4, corresponding to a breakthrough time of >120 min according to EN ISO 374-1

nitrile rubber (NBR) - 0.4 mm coating thickness

polyvinylchloride (PVC) - 0.7 mm coating thickness

Performance level 2, corresponding to a breakthrough time of >30 min according to EN ISO 374-1

chloroprene rubber (CR) - 0.5 mm coating thickness

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 (cage goggles) (e.g. EN 166) and face shield.

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

Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. Do not breathe vapour/spray.

Stability and reactivity

Reactivity

Corrosion to metals:

Corrosive effect on metals.

Reactions with water/air:       Reaction with:       water

      Flammable gases:       no

      Toxic gases:       yes

      Which toxic gases:       hydrogen chloride (HCl)

      Corrosive gases:       yes

      Which corrosive gases:       hydrogen chloride (HCl)

      Smoke or fog:       yes

      Type of smoke or fog:       Hydrochloric acid

      Which Peroxides:       

Formation of flammable gases:       Remarks:       Forms no flammable gases in the presence of water.

Chemical stability

Peroxides:       Substance contains no organic peroxides.

Possibility of hazardous reactions

Evolution of corrosive gases/vapours. Reacts with water and basic components to generate heat. On contact with water, gaseous decomposition products are formed, which cause build-up of pressure in tightly closed containers. Reacts with alkalies and metals. Reacts with alcohols, amines, aqueous acids and alkalies. Reacts with water and moisture, with formation of hydrogen chloride. Partly very violent reactions with bases and numerous organic classes of substances such as alcohols and amines. Addition of water leads to increase in temperature. In damp air hydrochloric acid formation is possible. Violent reactions with water and/or alcohols, with formation of hydrochloric acid.

Conditions to avoid

Avoid electro-static charge. Avoid humidity. Avoid heat. Avoid prolonged storage. Disregard of the conditions mentioned may result in undesirable decomposition reactions.

Incompatible materials

Substances to avoid:

alkaline reactive substances, alcohols, bases, amines, water

Hazardous decomposition products

Hazardous decomposition products:

Hydrogen chloride

Disposal considerations

Waste treatment methods


Incinerate in suitable incineration plant, observing local authority regulations.


Contaminated packaging:


Packs that cannot be cleaned should be disposed of in the same manner as the contents.
