Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
After inhalation: Supply fresh air; consult doctor in case of symptoms
After skin contact: Instantly wash with water and soap and rinse thoroughly.
After eye contact: Rinse opened eye for several minutes under running water. Then consult doctor.
After swallowing: Rinse out mouth and then drink plenty of water. Seek medical treatment
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed: Medical supervision for at least 48 hours
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
- Suitable extinguishing agents: CO2, extinguishing powder or water jet. Fight larger fires with water jet or alcohol-resistant foam.
- For safety reasons unsuitable extinguishing agents: Water with a full water jet.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
- Formation of toxic gases is possible during heating or in case of fire.
- Can be released in case of fire: Hydrogen chloride (HCl) and Carbon monoxide (CO)
Advice for firefighters
- Protective equipment: Do not inhale explosion gases or combustion gases. Wear suitable protective clothing
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
- Wear protective clothing.
- Keep away from ignition sources
- Wear protective equipment. Keep unprotected persons away.
Environmental precautions: Do not allow to enter drainage system, surface or ground water.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:
- Absorb with liquid-binding material (sand, diatomite, acid binders, universal binders, sawdust).
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
- Use only in well ventilated areas.
Information about protection against explosions and fires:
- Keep ignition sources away - Do not smoke. Protect against electrostatic charges.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
- Requirements to be met by storerooms and containers: Store only in unopened original containers. Store the product in a cool and ventilated place, away from heat, sun exposure without sewers open.
- Information about storage in one common storage facility: Store away from foodstuffs.
- Further information about storage conditions: Keep container tightly sealed.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Control parameters
- Components with limit values that require monitoring at the workplace: n.a.
Exposure controls - Personal protective equipment
- General protective and hygienic measures: Wash hands during breaks and at the end of the work.
- Breathing equipment: breathing protection recommended
- Protection of hands: Solvent resistant gloves. The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation. Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation
- Material of gloves: The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.
- Penetration time of glove material: The exact break trough time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.
- Eye protection: Tightly sealed safety glasses.
- Body protection: Solvent resistant protective clothing. Boots
