Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Description of necessary first-aid measures

 

General information:

Pay attention to self-protection. Remove victims from hazardous area. Immediately remove soiled or soaked clothing and remove it to a safe distance. Keep victim warm, in a stabilized position and covered. Do not leave the victim unattended. Place patients who are unconscious but breathing in the stabilized lateral position.

 

Inhalation:

Potential for exposure by inhalation if dusts or smoke are generated. Move to fresh air. With labored breathing: Provide with oxygen. Consult a doctor immediately. If the casualty is not breathing: Perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, notify emergency physician immediately.

 

Skin Contact:

Wash off affected area immediately with plenty of water. Continue decontamination with polyethylene glycol 400 after initial rinsing with water and then wash with water and soap. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues.

 

Eye contact:

With eye held open, thoroughly rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 10 minutes. Consult an ophthalmologist immediately if the symptoms persist. When dealing with caustic substances, notify emergency physician immediately (key words: burns in eye).

 

Ingestion:

Rinse mouth. Immediately give large quantities of water to drink. Seek medical advice. When dealing with caustic substances, notify emergency physician immediately.

 

Personal Protection for First-aid Responders:

No data available.

 

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

 

Symptoms:

Irritation of skin and mucous membranes. Corrosive. Daze. Headache, vertigo, somnolence (sleepiness), nausea. Health injuries may be delayed.

 

Hazards:

Strongly irritating to corrosive. Harmful in contact with skin and if swallowed. Vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness.

 

Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

 

Treatment:

The initial focus is only on the local action, possibly characterized by a progressive tissue irritation; caustic substances result in quickly progressing deep tissue damage. In the eye, caustic dusts or smoke cause, depending on the intensity of exposure, severe irritation, destruction, and ablation of the epithelium of the conjunctiva and cornea, corneal clouding, edema and ulcerations. Danger! Possible loss of eyesight! Superficial irritations and damage up to ulcerations and scarring develop on the skin. After accidental absorption in the body, the pathology and clinical findings are dependent on the kinetics of the substance (quantity of absorbed substance, the absorption time, and the effectiveness of early elimination measures (first aid)/ excretion - metabolism). A specific action of the substance is unknown.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

 

Suitable extinguishing media:

CO2. Dry powder. Water spray. Alcohol resistant foam.

 

Unsuitable extinguishing media:

Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.

 

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

May be released in case of fire: toxic gases/vapours.

 

Advice for firefighters

 

Special fire fighting procedures:

Contaminated extinguishing water must be treated at a suitable disposal plant in accordance with waste management laws. In case of fire, remove the endangered barrels and bring to a safe place, if this can be done safely. Keep unauthorized personnel away.

 

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters:

In case of fire: Full protective suit and wear a self contained respiratory apparatus.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Keep unauthorized personnel away.

 

For non-emergency personnel:

No data available.

 

For emergency responders:

No data available.

 

Environmental Precautions:

Observe regulations on prevention of water pollution (check, dam up, cover up). Do not allow entrance in sewage water, soil, stretches of water, drainage systems, surface water. If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.

 

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:

Take up with liquid-binding material (e.g. sand, universal binder, diatomaceous earth). Store used liquid binder closed in stable, labelled containers. Pack and label wastes like the pure substance. Do not detach label from the delivery containers prior to disposal. Disposal according to local authority regulations. Clean contaminated surface thoroughly. Assure sufficient ventilation.

 

Reference to other sections:

For personal protection see section Exposure controls/personal protection.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

 

Technical measures (e.g. Local and general ventilation):

Ensure suitable suction/aeration at the work place and with operational machinery. Provide for installation of emergency shower and eye bath. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.

 

Safe handling advice:

Provide sufficient ventilation and exhaust at the workplace. Avoid formation of aerosol. Avoid residues of the product on the containers. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. The personal protective equipment used must meet the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2016/425 and amendments (CE certification). It should be defined in the work place in the form of a risk analysis according to Regulation (EU) 2016/425 and amendments.

 

Contact avoidance measures:

See Precautions for safe handling.

 

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

 

Safe storage conditions:

Store in the original receptable, keeping this tightly sealed, under cool and dry conditions. Comply with storage regulations and regulations prohibiting storage of hazardous substances in non-stationary containers in the same room (TRGS 510). Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Recommended storage temperature: 10 - 25 °C. Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. In order to ensure due transportation, make certain that stacks are of the correct height, containers are securely fastened so as not to fall off, and labelled according to the regulations. In the event of internal transportation, already-opened containers are to be kept closed in order to avoid spillage.

Additional Information:

Selection of protective gloves to meet the requirements of specific workplaces. The suitability for a specific workplace should be discussed with the producers of the protective gloves. The information is based on our own tests, references from the literature and information from glove manufacturers, or derived by analogy with similar materials. Be aware that in daily use the durability of a chemical resistant protective glove can be notably shorter than the break through time measured according to EN 374, due to the numerous outside influences (e.g. temperature).
