Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
General information
Remove contaminated, soaked clothing immediately and dispose of safely. Adhere to personal protective measures when giving first aid. Clean body thoroughly (bath, shower). In any case show the physician the Safety Data Sheet.
After inhalation
Ensure supply of fresh air. Remove affected person from danger area. Seek medical advice immediately.
After skin contact
Wash off immediately with soap and water. Seek medical advice immediately.
After eye contact
Separate eyelids, wash the eyes thoroughly with water (15 min.). Seek medical aid immediately.
After ingestion
Call in a physician immediately and show him the Safety Data Sheet. Rinse out mouth and give plenty of water to drink. Do not induce vomiting - aspiration hazard.
Self-protection of the first aide
First aider: Pay attention to self-protection!
Hints for the physician / hazards
In the case of swallowing with subsequent vomiting, aspiration of the lungs can occur which can lead to
chemical pneumonia or asphyxiation.
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media: Dry powder, Foam, Carbon dioxide, Dry chemical extinguisher
Non Suitable extinguishing media: Full water jet
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture: In case of combustion evolution of dangerous gases possible. In the event of fire the following can be released: Carbon monoxide (CO); Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Advice for firefighters: Special protective equipment for fire-fighting. Do not inhale explosion and/or combustion gases. In case of combustion use a suitable breathing apparatus. Wear full protective suit.
Other information: Collect contaminated fire-fighting water separately, must not be discharged into the drains. Fire residues and contaminated fire-fighting water must be disposed of in accordance with the local regulations. Cool endangered containers with water spray jet.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
Keep away sources of ignition. Ensure adequate ventilation. Use breathing apparatus if exposed to vapours/dust/aerosol. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Use personal protective clothing.
Environmental precautions:
Prevent spread over a wide area (e.g. by containment or oil barriers). Do not discharge into the drains/surface waters/groundwater. Do not discharge into the subsoil/soil. Retain and dispose of contaminated wash water. In case of gas escape or of entry into waterways, soil or drains, inform the
responsible authorities.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:
Take up with absorbent material (eg sand, kieselguhr, universal binder). Clean contaminated floors and objects thoroughly, observing environmental regulations. Containers in which spilt substance has been collected must be adequately labelled. Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with the regulations.
Handling and storage
Advice on safe handling: Provide good ventilation of working area (local exhaust ventilation if necessary). Avoid formation of aerosols. Take precautionary measures against electrostatic loading. If workplace limits are exceeded, a respiratory protection approved for this particular job must be worn. Keep container tightly closed. Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in application area.
Advice on protection against fire and explosion:
Keep away from sources of heat and ignition. No smoking. Take precautionary measures against static charges. Wear shoes with conductive soles.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
Recommended storage temperature: 15 - 25 °C
Requirements for storage rooms and vessels:
Keep in original packaging, tightly closed. Storage rooms must be properly ventilated. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Provide solvent-resistant and impermeable floor.
Hints on storage assembly:
Do not store together with foodstuffs.
Further information on storage conditions:
Keep container tightly closed in a well-ventilated place.
