First-aid measures

Description of first aid measures

General information Remove affected person from source of contamination. Get medical attention.

Inhalation Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing. Place unconscious person on their side in the recovery position and ensure breathing can take place. Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as collar, tie or belt. When breathing is difficult, properly trained personnel may assist affected person by administering oxygen. If breathing stops, provide artificial respiration. Get medical attention.

Ingestion Move affected person to fresh air and keep warm and at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Loosen tight clothing such as collar, tie or belt. Do not induce vomiting unless under the direction of medical personnel. Rinse nose and mouth with water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Place unconscious person on their side in the recovery position and ensure breathing can take place. Get medical attention.

Skin contact Rinse immediately contaminated clothing and skin with plenty of water before removing clothes. Wash with plenty of water. Continue to rinse for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues.

Eye contact Remove affected person from source of contamination. Remove any contact lenses and open eyelids wide apart. Rinse with water. Continue to rinse for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention.

Protection of first aiders First aid personnel should wear appropriate protective equipment during any rescue. For personal protection, see Section 8 of the SDS.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media Use fire-extinguishing media suitable for the surrounding fire. Extinguish with alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide, dry powder or water fog.

Unsuitable extinguishing media

Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Specific hazards Dust may form explosive mixture with air. Thermal decomposition or combustion products may include the following substances: Toxic and corrosive gases or vapours.

Hazardous combustion products: Thermal decomposition or combustion products may include the following substances: Toxic and corrosive gases or vapours. Carbon monoxide (CO).

Advice for firefighters

Protective actions during firefighting

In case of fire: Evacuate area. No action shall be taken without appropriate training or involving any personal risk. Fight fire from safe distance or protected location. Keep upwind to avoid inhalation of gases, vapours, fumes and smoke. Contain and collect extinguishing water. Avoid the spillage or runoff entering drains, sewers or watercourses. If risk of water pollution occurs, notify appropriate authorities.

Special protective equipment for firefighters

Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and appropriate protective clothing. Firefighter's clothing conforming to European standard EN469 (including helmets, protective boots and gloves) will provide a basic level of protection for chemical incidents.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Personal precautions No smoking, sparks, flames or other sources of ignition near spillage. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Do not touch or walk into spilled material. Avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin and eyes. Do not enter storage areas or confined spaces unless adequately ventilated. Use suitable respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate. Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet.

Environmental precautions

Environmental precautions Avoid or minimise the creation of any environmental contamination. Avoid the spillage or runoff entering drains, sewers or watercourses. Environmental Manager must be informed of all major spillages. Spillages or uncontrolled discharges into watercourses must be reported immediately to the Environmental Agency or other appropriate regulatory body.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Methods for cleaning up Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8 of the SDS. Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so. If involved in a fire, shut off flow if it can be done without risk. Provide adequate ventilation. Do not touch or walk into spilled material. To prevent release, place container with damaged side up. Remove spillage with vacuum cleaner or collect with a shovel and broom, or similar. Collect and place in suitable waste disposal containers and seal securely. For waste disposal, see Section 13 of the SDS.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Usage precautions For use in industrial installations or professional treatment only. Do not handle until all safety

precautions have been read and understood. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this

product. Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet. Do not

handle broken packages without protective equipment. Avoid breathing dust. Mechanical

ventilation or local exhaust ventilation may be required. If ventilation is inadequate, suitable

respiratory protection must be worn. Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames

and other ignition sources. No smoking. Take precautionary measures against static

discharges. Do not empty into drains.

Advice on general occupational hygiene

Do not smoke in work area. Good personal hygiene procedures should be implemented. Wash at the end of each work shift and before eating, smoking and using the toilet. Wash promptly if skin becomes contaminated. Take off immediately all contaminated clothing and wash it before reuse. Eye wash facilities and emergency shower must be available when handling this product. Warn cleaning personnel of any hazardous properties of the product.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Storage precautions Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking. Keep in a cool, well ventilated place. Protect from freezing and direct sunlight. Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. Keep away from oxidising materials, heat and flames. Store in a demarcated bunded area to prevent release to drains and/or watercourses.
