First-aid measures

Description of first aid measures
Take off all contaminated clothing immediately.
Inhalation
If aerosol or mists are formed:
Possible discomfort: severe irritation of mucous lining (nose, throat, eyes), cough, sneezing, flow of tears
Move victims into fresh air.
If breathing difficulties occur:
Keep patient half sitting with upper body raised.
Call a physician immediately.
Skin contact
Wash off immediately with plenty of water.
Consult a physician.
Eye contact
With eye held open, thoroughly rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 10 minutes.
Continue rinsing process with eye rinsing solution.
Protect unharmed eye.
Call ambulance. (Cue: caustic burn of the eyes)
Immediate further treatment in ophthalmic hospital/ ophthalmologist.
Continue rinsing eye until arrival at ophthalmic hospital.
Ingestion
Do NOT induce vomiting.
Only when patient fully conscious:
Have the mouth rinsed with water.
Have patient drink plenty of water in small sips.
Notify ambulance immediately (keyword: chemical burn).
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Symptoms
None known
Hazards
None known
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Therapy as for chemical burn.
If substance has been swallowed:
Early endoscopy in order to assess mucosa lesions in the oesophagus and stomach which may appear.
If necessary, suck away leftover substance.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media:
foam
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
dry powder

Unsuitable extinguishing media:
water
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Hazardous fumes in fires, specific to the product:
hydrogen chloride
Advice for firefighters
Water used to extinguish fire should not enter drainage systems, soil or stretches of water.
Ensure there are sufficient retaining facilities for water used to extinguish fire.
Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
In the case of fire, wear respiratory protective equipment independent of surrounding air and chemical protective suit.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Use personal protective equipment.
Ensure adequate ventilation
Environmental precautions
Do not allow entrance in sewage water, soil stretches of water, groundwater, drainage systems.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust).
Fill into marked, sealable containers.
To be disposed of in compliance with existing regulations.
Suitable absorbents:
dry sand
Kieselguhr

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling
Provide good ventilation or extraction.
Protect from moisture.7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Advice on protection against fire and explosion
Normal measures for preventive fire protection.
Storage
Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place.
Protect from moisture.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Engineering measures
If possible, use material transfer/filling, metering and blending plants that are closed.
If contact with gases or vapours cannot be excluded: Provide good ventilation or extraction.
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 ABEK) or wear a self contained respiratory apparatus
Use only respiratory protection equipment with CE-symbol including four digit test number.
The filter class for the respirator must be suitable for the maximum expected contaminant concentration (gas/vapour/aerosol/particulates) that may arise when handling the product. If this concentration is exceeded, self-contained breathing apparatus must be used.
Note time limit for wearing respiratory protective equipment.
Hand protection
Glove material for example:, Fluorinated rubber (Viton)
Material thickness 0,7 mm
Break through time 240 - 480 min
Glove material for example:, Nitrile rubber
Material thickness 0,5 mm
Break through time 30 - 120 min
The following glove materials are not suitable:
Glove material neoprene
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.
Please observe that the daily duration of usage of a chemical protective glove is in practice far shorter due to the many influencing factors (e.g. temperature, mechanical strain on the glove material) than the permeation time determined acc. EN 374.
Eye protection
close-fitting protective goggles (e.g. closed goggles)
Skin and body protection
When handling larger quantities:
chemical protective suit (acid-proof)
for example:
Fluorinated rubber (Viton)
Hygiene measures
When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Wash face and/or hands before break and end of work.
Remove immediately all contaminated clothing.
Dispose of promptly.
Protective measures
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
The personal protective equipment used must meet the requirements of directive 89/686/EEC and amendments (CE certification).
If workplace exposure limits are exceeded and/or larger amounts are released (leakage, spilling, dust) the indicated respiratory protection should be used.
If there is the possibility of skin/eye contact, the indicated hand/eye/body protection should be used.
Use protective clothing / face shield if necessary.
Do not breathe in vapours or aerosols.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Disposal considerations

Waste treatment methods
Product
Before disposal consult producer.
Special treatment is necessary.
Send back to producer.
Uncleaned packaging
Empty pressure vessels should be returned to the supplier.
If there is product residue in the emptied container, follow directions for handling on the container's label.
Incorrect disposal or reuse of this container is illegal and can be dangerous.
