Administrative data
First-aid measures
· General information:
Immediately remove any clothing soiled by the product.
Remove breathing equipment only after contaminated clothing have been completely removed.
· After inhalation:
Supply fresh air or oxygen; call for doctor.
· After skin contact:
Clean with water and soap. If possible, also wash with polyethylene glycol 400.
If skin irritation continues, consult a doctor.
· After eye contact:
Rinse opened eye for several minutes under running water. Then consult a doctor.
· After swallowing:
Rinse out mouth and then drink plenty of water.
Do not induce vomiting; call for medical help immediately.
Fire-fighting measures
· Suitable extinguishing agents:
CO2, powder or water spray. Fight larger fires with water spray or alcohol resistant foam.
Use fire extinguishing methods suitable to surrounding conditions.
· Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Formation of toxic gases is possible during heating or in case of fire.
In case of fire, the following can be released:
Hydrogen chloride (HCl)
· Protective equipment:
Wear self-contained respiratory protective device.
Accidental release measures
· Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Wear protective equipment. Keep unprotected persons away.
Ensure adequate ventilation
· Environmental precautions:
Do not allow to enter sewers/ surface or ground water.
· Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:
Ensure adequate ventilation.
Absorb with liquid-binding material (sand, diatomite, acid binders, universal binders, sawdust).
Dispose of the material collected according to regulations.
Handling and storage
This substance is handled under strictly controlled conditions in accordance with Reach regulation Article 18(4) for transported isolated intermediate. Site documentation to support safe handling arrangements including the selection of engineering, administrative and personal protective equipment controls in accordance with risk-based management system is available at each site.
