Protect unharmed eye.

In case of persistent discomfort: Consult doctor immediately.

Ingestion

Do not induce vomiting and seek medical advice immediately.

Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water.

Notes to physician

Aspiration hazard!

Symptomatic treatment.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media

foam, CO2, dry powder

Ensure there are sufficient retaining facilities for water used to extinguish fire.

Fire residues and contaminared fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.

Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons

high volume water jet

Specific hazards during fire fighting

Closed container may rupture if strongly heated.

In case of fire cool endangered containers with water.

Heavier than air vapour.

Formation of flammable or explosive vapour/air mixtures possible.

Keep all ignition sources out of area

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters

In the case of respirable dust and/or fumes, use self-contained breathing apparatus.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions

Wear personal protective equipment; see section 8.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Do not inhale vapours / aerosols.

Heavier than air vapour.

Ensure adequate ventilation.

Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.

Environmental precautions

Do not allow entrance in sewage water, drainage systems, stretches of water, soil.

Avoid penetration into drainage system or in rooms situated at a lower level because of danger of explosion.

Issue an immediate alarm report to the company environmental protection department if the product unintentionally leaves the production area.

Methods for cleaning up

Take up mechanically or with an absorbent material.

Fill into marked, sealable containers.

To be disposed of in compliance with existing regulations.

Handling and storage

The substance is handled under Strictly Controlled Conditions as defined under REACH Article 18(4) throughout its life cycle. Specifically the substance is rigorously contained by technical means during its whole lifecycle; procedural and control technologies are used to minimise emissions and any resulting exposures; only properly trained and authorised personnel handle the substance; special procedures such as purging and washing are applied during cleaning and maintenance works, in cases of accident and where waste is generated, procedural and/or control technologies are used to minimise emissions and the resulting exposures; and substance-handling procedures are well documented and strictly supervised by the site operator.

Wear personal protective equipment; see section 8.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Do not inhale vapours / aerosols.

Ensure sufficient ventilation.

Advice on protection against fire and explosion

Take precautionary measures against static charges, keep away from sources of ignition.

Ensure explosion proofness.

Temperature class

Temperature classification T 3.

Storage

Requirements for storage areas and containers

Keep container tightly closed.

Keep in a well-ventilated place.

Under inert gas keep in a cool place.

Suitable materials       mild steel

Advice on common storage

Observe prohibition against storing together!

Exposure controls / personal protection

Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection

In case of dusts/vapours/aerosols being formed or if the limit values like TLV are exceeded:

use respiratory equipment with suitable filter (filter type AX) or wear a self contained respiratory apparatus

Hand protection

Chemical-resistant protective gloves (EN 374)

Glove material       Recommendation: Camatril 730, Nitrile

Break through time       > 480 min

Method       Source: KCL GmbH

Glove material       nitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) gloves

Selection of protective gloves to meet the requirements of specific workplaces.

Suitability for specific workplaces should be clarified with protective glove manufacturers.

The information is based on our own tests, references from the literature and information from glove manufacturers, or derived by analogy with similar materials.

Remember that the useful time per day of a chemical protection glove may be much shorter than the permeation time determined according to EN 374 due to the many different influential factors involved (e.g. temperature).

Eye protection

close-fitting protective goggles (e.g. closed goggles) or face protection

Skin and body protection

Select materials and equipment for physical protection depending on the concentration and volume of hazardous substances and the workplace involved.

Hygiene measures

Avoid contact with the skin and the eyes.

Remove contaminated or saturated clothing.

Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in the application area.

Wash face and/or hands before break and end of work.

Protective measures

Wear suitable protective clothing.

Stability and reactivity

Conditions to avoid

Keep away from heat and sources of ignition.

Hazardous decomposition products

In case of fire or thermal decomposition production of, for example, Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide (CO2)

Thermal decomposition

> 300 °C

Hazardous reactions

Reacts violently with:

strong oxidants

Vapours may form explosive mixture with air.

Disposal considerations

With respect to local regulations, e.g. dispose of to waste incineration plant

No waste key number as per the European Waste Types List can be assigned to this product, since such classification is based on the (as yet undetermined) use to which the product is put by the consumer.

The waste key number must be determined as per the European Waste Types List (decision on EU Waste Types List 2000/532/EC) in cooperation with the disposal firm / producing firm / official authority.
