First-aid measures

A. Description of first aid measures:

I. General advice: Immediate medical attention is required.

  1. Move out of dangerous area.

  2. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.

II. If inhaled: If breathed in, move person into fresh air.

III. In case of skin contact:

    1. Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately.

    2. Rinse immediately with plenty of water.

    3. Immediate medical treatment is necessary as untreated wounds from corrosion of the skin heal slowly and with difficulty.

IV. In case of eye contact:

    1. Rinse with plenty of water.

    2. Get medical attention immediately.

    3. Continue to rinse during transport.

    4. Remove contact lenses. Protect unharmed eye.

    5. Keep eye wide open while rinsing.

    6. Small amounts splashed into eyes can cause irreversible tissue damage and blindness.

V. If swallowed:

   1. Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water.

   2. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

   3. Take victim immediately to hospital.

   4. Do not induce vomiting! May cause chemical burns in mouth and throat.

B. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

I. Symptoms: No information available.

II. Risks: No information available.

C. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

I. Treatment : No information available.

Fire-fighting measures

A. Extinguishing media

    1. Suitable extinguishing media : Alcohol-resistant foam

    2. Dry chemical

B.  Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

    1. Specific hazards during fire fighting / Specific hazards arising from the chemical : Water spray may be ineffective unless used by experienced

        firefighters; Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.

C. Advice for firefighters

    1. Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.

    2. Further information: Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This must not be discharged into drains.Fire residues and con          taminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. For safety reasons in case of fire, cans should                  be stored separately in closed containments.

Accidental release measures

A. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

    1. Personal precautions : Use personal protective equipment. Ensure adequate ventilation.

B.  Environmental precautions

    1. Environmental precautions : Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains            inform respective authorities.

C. Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up

    1. Methods for cleaning up/Methods for containment: Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder,             sawdust). Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.

Handling and storage

A. Precautions for safe handling

   1. Advice on safe handling : For personal protection see exposure controls. Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in the applicatio          n area. Dispose of rinse water in accordance with local and national regulations.

   2. Advice on protection against fire and explosion: Avoid formation of aerosol. Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Take measure          s to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge.

B. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

   1. Requirements for storage areas and containers: No smoking. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.

   2. Other data: No decomposition if stored and applied as directed.
