Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Description of first aid measures:

General information-

In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical advice. In case of unconsciousness give nothing by mouth, place in recovery position and seek medical advice.

In case of inhalation-

Remove casualty to fresh air and keep warm and at rest. In case of irregular breathing or respiratory arrest provide artificial respiration. In case of respiratory tract irritation, consult a physician.

Following skin contact-

Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water and soap. Do not use solvents or thinners. In case of skin irritation, consult a physician.

After eye contact-

Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Seek medical advice immediately.

After ingestion-

Rinse mouth immediately and drink plenty of water. Seek medical advice immediately. Keep victim calm. Do NOT induce vomiting.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed-

In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical advice.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media:

Alcohol resistant foam, carbon dioxide, Powder, spray mist, (water), Sand.

Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons:

strong water jet

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture-

Dense black smoke occurs during fire. Inhaling hazardous decomposing products can cause serious health damage.

Advice for firefighters-

In case of fire:  Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, Full protection suit. Cool closed containers that are near the source of the fire. Do not allow water used to extinguish fire to enter drains, ground or waterways.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures-

Ventilate affected area. Do not breathe vapours.  Special danger of slipping by leaking/spilling product.

Environmental precautions-

Do not allow to enter into surface water or drains. If the product contaminates lakes, rivers or sewages, inform competent authorities in accordance with local regulations.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up-

Isolate leaked material using non-flammable absorption agent (e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite, diatomaceous earth) and collect it for disposal in appropriate containers in accordance with the local regulations. Clean using cleansing agents. Do not use solvents.

Handling and storage

Handling:

Precautions for safe handling:

Advices on safe handling-

Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothes. When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Personal protection equipment: refer to section 8. Do not empty containers with pressure - no pressure vessel!

Always keep in containers that correspond to the material of the original container. Follow the legal protection and safety regulations.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:

Requirements for storage rooms and vessels-

Storage in accordance with the Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health.  Keep container tightly closed. Do not empty containers with pressure - no pressure vessel! Smoking is forbidden.

Access only for authorized persons. Store carefully closed containers upright to prevent any leaks.

Hints on joint storage-

Keep away from strongly acidic and alkaline materials as well as oxidizers.

Further information on storage conditions-

Take care of instructions on label. Store in a well-ventilated and dry room at temperatures between 5 °C and 30 °C. Protect from heat and direct sunlight. Keep container tightly closed. Remove all sources of ignition. Smoking is forbidden.  Access only for authorized persons. Store carefully closed containers upright to prevent any leaks.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Exposure controls-

Provide good ventilation. This can be achieved with local or room suction. If this should not be sufficient to keep aerosol and solvent vapour concentration below the exposure limit values, a suitable respiratory protection must be used.

Occupational exposure controls:

Respiratory protection-

If concentration of solvents is beyond the occupational exposure limit values, approved and suitable respiratory protection must be used. Observe the wear time limits in combination with the rules for using respiratory protection apparatus. Use only respiratory protection equipment with CE-symbol including four digit test number.

Hand protection-

For prolonged or repeated handling the following glove material must be used: FKM (fluoro-rubber), CR (polychloroprene, chloroprene rubber), Butyl caoutchouc (butyl rubber), NBR (Nitrile rubber).

Thickness of the glove material > 0.4 mm ; Breakthrough time (maximum wearing time) > 480 min.

Observe the instructions and details for use, storage, maintenance and replacement provided by the protective glove manufacturer.  Penetration time of glove material depending on intensity and duration of exposure to skin.  Recommended glove articles (see DIN EN 374).

Barrier creams can help protecting exposed skin areas. In no case should they be used after contact.

Eye protection-

Wear closely fitting protective glasses in case of splashes.

Protective clothing-

Wear antistatic clothing of natural fibers (cotton) or heat resistant synthetic fibers.

Protective measures-

After contact clean skin thoroughly with water and soap or use appropriate cleanser.

Environmental exposure controls-

Do not allow to enter into surface water or drains. No additional measures necessary.

Stability and reactivity

Chemical stability-

Stable when applying the recommended regulations for storage and handling.

Possibility of hazardous reactions-

Keep away from strong acids, strong bases and strong oxidizing agents to avoid exothermic reactions.

Conditions to avoid-

Stable when applying the recommended regulations for storage and handling.  Hazardous decomposition byproducts may form with exposure to high temperatures.

Hazardous decomposition products-

Hazardous decomposition byproducts may form with exposure to high temperatures, e.g.: carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, smoke.

Disposal considerations

Waste treatment methods-

Appropriate disposal / Product Recommendation-
