artificial respiration. When breathing is difficult, properly trained personnel may assist affected

person by administering oxygen. Get medical attention if symptoms are severe or persist.

Ingestion Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse

mouth thoroughly with water. Give plenty of water to drink. Get medical attention if symptoms

are severe or persist.

Skin contact Remove contaminated clothing. Rinse with water. Continue to rinse for at least 15 minutes.

Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Get medical attention if symptoms are severe or

persist.

Eye contact Rinse immediately with plenty of water. Continue to rinse for at least 15 minutes. Get medical

attention if symptoms are severe or persist.

Fire-fighting measures

5.1. Extinguishing media

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

5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Specific hazards None known.

Hazardous combustion

products

Thermal decomposition or combustion products may include the following substances: Oxides

of carbon. Oxides of nitrogen. Oxides of phosphorus. Hydrogen fluoride (HF).

5.3. Advice for firefighters

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. Use

protective equipment appropriate for surrounding materials.

Accidental release measures

6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Personal precautions Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet. No action shall be

taken without appropriate training or involving any personal risk. Do not touch or walk into

spilled material. Avoid breathing dust or mist. Provide adequate ventilation. Keep unnecessary

and unprotected personnel away from the spillage.

6.2. Environmental precautions

Environmental precautions Avoid discharge into drains or watercourses or onto the ground.

6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Methods for cleaning up Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet. Clear up spills

immediately and dispose of waste safely. Flush contaminated area with plenty of water. Wash

thoroughly after dealing with a spillage.

Handling and storage

7.1. Precautions for safe handling

Usage precautions Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet. Wash hands

thoroughly after handling. Provide adequate ventilation. Avoid generation and spreading of

dust. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation of dust and vapours.

7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Storage precautions Keep container tightly closed. Store in a cool and well-ventilated place. Store contents under

inert gas. Protect from moisture. Protect from light. Store at room temperature.

Exposure controls / personal protection

8.2. Exposure controls

Appropriate engineering

controls

Provide adequate ventilation. Observe any occupational exposure limits for the product or

ingredients.

Eye/face protection Unless the assessment indicates a higher degree of protection is required, the following

protection should be worn: Tight-fitting safety glasses. Personal protective equipment for eye

and face protection should comply with European Standard EN166.

Hand protection Wear protective gloves. To protect hands from chemicals, gloves should comply with

European Standard EN374.

Other skin and body

protection

Wear appropriate clothing to prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact.

Respiratory protection Respiratory protection complying with an approved standard should be worn if a risk

assessment indicates inhalation of contaminants is possible. Ensure all respiratory protective

equipment is suitable for its intended use and is ‘CE’-marked. Particulate filters should comply

with European Standard EN143. Full face mask respirators with replaceable filter cartridges

should comply with European Standard EN136. Half mask and quarter mask respirators with

replaceable filter cartridges should comply with European Standard EN140.
