First-aid measures

Description of First Aid Measures

EYES: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation occurs and persists, contact a medical doctor.

SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation occurs and persists.

INGESTION: Drink 1 or 2 glasses of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If any discomfort persists, obtain medical attention.

INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If breathing difficulty or discomfort occurs and persists, contact a medical doctor.

Most Important Symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

Skin and eye irritation.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Notes to medical doctor:

This product has low oral, dermal and inhalation toxicity, and is an irritant. Treatment is controlled removal of exposure followed by symptomatic and supportive care.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media: Dry chemical, CO2, water spray or regular foam.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Hazardous combustion products: Under fire conditions, may produce toxic fluorides.

General Hazard: No known physical hazard, non-combustible.

Properties contributing to:

Flammability: None

Flashpoint: Not applicable

Flammable limits in air: Upper: Not available; Lower: Not available.

Auto ignition temperature: Not applicable

Sensitivity to static discharge: Not applicable

Sensitivity to static impact: Not applicable

Advice for fire-fighters

Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) approved for fire fighting. This is necessary to protect against the hazards of heat, products of combustion and oxygen deficiency. Do not breathe smoke, gases or vapors generated.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Before cleanup measures begin, review the entire SDS with particular attention to Section 2, Hazards Identification; and Section 8, Exposure Controls/Personal Protection.

Environmental precautions

Do not wash into drains. Dispose of at qualified waste disposal facility.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Sweep up and place in suitable container. Dispose of waste according to local and Federal laws and regulations.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Use with adequate ventilation. Wear safety glasses or goggles and rubber gloves. Wash thoroughly after handling.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Keep away from strong acids. Keep container closed.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Exposure controls

Engineering controls: Use local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below exposure limits.

Personal protective equipment

Eyes and Face: Safety glasses or goggles

Respiratory: When engineering controls are not adequate, wear a respirator approved for protection against inorganic dusts. (US: NIOSH or MSHA approved; Europe: CEN Class P type)

Protective Clothing: Gloves: Nitrile/Neoprene/PVC/Natural Rubber (permeation breakthrough not detected during 6 hr test)

These glove recommendations should not be used as the absolute basis for glove selection. Actual in-use conditions may vary glove performance from the controlled conditions of laboratory tests. Factors such as concentration and temperature, glove thickness and glove reuse, may affect performance. Other glove requirements, such as length, dexterity, cut, abrasion, puncture and snag resistance, or glove grip need to be considered in making your final selection.

Work Hygienic Practices: Quick-drench eyewash and safety shower.

Stability and reactivity

Reactivity: Reacts with acids to form hydrogen fluoride.

Chemical stability: Stable

Possibility of hazardous reaction: Hazardous polymerization will not occur.

Conditions to avoid: Contact with acids

Incompatible materials: Acids

Hazardous decomposition products: None

Disposal considerations

Use a qualified industrial waste disposal facility. Dispose of waste according to local and Federal laws and regulations.
