First-aid measures
Description of first aid measures
General advice: First Aid responders should pay attention to self-protection and use the recommended protective clothing. Move out of dangerous area. Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. Keep warm and in a quiet place.
If inhaled: Move to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Keep the victim calm and in a semi-upright position. Consult a physician.
In case of skin contact: Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a physician.
In case of eye contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician immediately.
If swallowed: Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water. Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.Call a physician immediately.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed:
Symptoms: Breathing difficulties
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed:
Treatment: Treat symptomatically. For specialist advice physicians should contact the Poisons Information Service.
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media: Water spray, Dry powder, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Foam
Unsuitable extinguishing media: High volume water jet
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:
Specific hazards during fire-fighting: May form toxic gases on heating or in case of fire.
Advice for firefighters:
Special protective equipment for firefighters: Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus.
Further information:
Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This must not be discharged into drains. Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
Personal precautions: Wear personal protective equipment. Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Avoid dust formation. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Knock down dust with water spray jet.
Environmental precautions:
Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. Avoid subsoil penetration.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:
Methods for cleaning up: Use mechanical handling equipment. Avoid dust formation. Pick up and transfer to properly labelled containers. Adequate disposal.
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling:
Advice on safe handling: Provide sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms. Wear personal protective equipment. Avoid dust formation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. In general, emissions are controlled and prevented by implementing an appropriate management system, including regular informing and training workers.
Advice on protection against fire and explosion:
Normal measures for preventive fire protection.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
Requirements for storage areas and containers: Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Protect from moisture.
Further information on storage conditions: Product is hygroscopic.
Advice on common storage: Light metals. Incompatible with oxidizing agents. Do not store near acids.
Storage temperature: 0 - 50 °C

Exposure controls / personal protection
Engineering measures: Provide sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms.
Personal protective equipment:
Respiratory protection: In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Recommended Filter type: Half mask with a particle filter P1 (EN 143).
Hand protection: Glove material: Wear suitable gloves. Protective gloves complying with EN 374. The choice of an appropriate glove does not only depend on its material but also on other quality features and is different from one producer to the other. The exact break through time can be obtained from the protective glove producer and this has to be observed. Protective gloves have to be replaced at the first sign of deterioration.
Eye protection: Safety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166.
Skin and body protection: Chemical resistant protective clothing according to DIN EN 13034 (Type 6)
Hygiene measures: Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs. Do not breathe dust. Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in the application area. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.
Protective measures: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and safety shower. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
Environmental exposure controls:
General advice: Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. Avoid subsoil penetration.
