First-aid measures

1. Description of first aid measures
General advice:
First aider needs to protect himself. Move out of dangerous area. Immediately take off contaminated clothing and rinse body with plenty of water.
Inhalation:
In case of accident by inhalation: remove casualty to fresh air and keep at rest. Call a physician immediately. Call a doctor immediately if allergic signs, particularly in the respiratory tract, are observed.
Skin contact:
After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of soap and water. Immediate medical treatment is necessary as untreated wounds from corrosion of the skin heal slowly and with difficulty.
Eye contact:
Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids. Protect unharmed eye. Consult a physician.
Ingestion:
When swallowed, allow water to be drunk. Do NOT induce vomiting. Obtain medical attention.

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.
No unprotected exposed skin areas.
Exposure to decomposition products may be a hazard to health.
Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.

Accidental release measures

1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Ensure adequate ventilation. Use personal protective equipment. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak.


2. Environmental precautions
Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.

Exposure controls / personal protection

1. Occupational exposure controls
Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.
Usual hygienic precautions must be taken when working with dangerous cancer causing substances.
The Personal Protective Equipment must be in accordance with EN standards:respirator EN 136, 140, 149; safety glasses EN 166; protective suit: EN 340, 463, 468, 943-1, 943-2; gloves EN 374, 511; safety shoes EN-ISO 20345.
2. Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection:
In the case of dust or aerosol formation use respirator with an approved filter.
Hand protection:
Glove material: Natural Latex
Break through time: > 480 min
Glove thickness: 0.6 mm
Lapren®706
Gloves must be inspected prior to use.
Replace when worn.
Remarks:Supplementary note: The specifications are based on information and tests from similar substances by analogy. Due to varying conditions ( e.g.temperature or other strains) it must be considered that the usage of a chemical protective glove in practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined in accordance with EN 374. Since actual conditions of practical use often deviate from standardised conditions according EN 374 the glove manufacturer reccomends to use the chemical protective glove in practice not longer than 50% of the recomended permeation time. Manufacturer´s directions for use should be observed because of great diversity of types . Suitable gloves tested according EN 374 are supplied e.g. from KCL GmbH, D-36124 Eichenzell, Vertrieb@kcl.de
Eye protection:
Safety goggles
Skin and body protection:
Wear suitable protective equipment.
Complete suit protecting against chemicals
Lab coat
