Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Inhalation:

Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.

Get medical attention if symptoms occur. In case of inhalation of decomposition

products in a fire, symptoms may be delayed. The exposed person may need to be

kept under medical surveillance for 48 hours.

Ingestion:

Wash out mouth with water. Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a

position comfortable for breathing. If material has been swallowed and the exposed

person is conscious, give small quantities of water to drink. Do not induce vomiting

unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Get medical attention if symptoms

occur.

Skin contact:

Flush contaminated skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and

shoes. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

Eye contact:

Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Check for and remove any contact lenses. Get medical attention if irritation occurs.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media:

Suitable extinguishing media: In case of fire, use water spray (fog), foam, dry chemical or CO2.

Unsuitable extinguishing media: None known

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

Hazards from the substance or mixture: In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the

container may burst.

Hazardous thermal decomposition products: Decomposition products may include the following materials:

carbon dioxide

carbon monoxide

nitrogen oxides

sulfur oxides

metal oxide/oxides

Advice for firefighters:

Special protective actions for fire-fighters: Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the

vicinity of the incident if there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode. Clothing for fire-fighters (including helmets, protective boots and gloves)

conforming to European standard EN 469 will provide a basic level of protection for chemical incidents.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

For non-emergency personnel: No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable

training. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Do not touch or walk through spilt material. Shut off all ignition sources. No flares, smoking or flames in hazard area. Avoid breathing dust. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment.

For emergency responders: If specialised clothing is required to deal with the spillage, take note of any information in Section 8 of the safety data sheet on suitable and unsuitable materials. See also the information in "For non-emergency personnel".

Environmental precautions:

Avoid dispersal of spilt material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains

and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental

pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air).

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:

Small spill: Stop leak if without risk. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.

Large spill: Stop leak if without risk. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses, basements or

confined areas. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.

Reference to other sections:

See Section 1 of the safety data sheet for emergency contact information.

See Section 8 of the safety data sheet for information on appropriate personal protective equipment.

See Section 13 of the safety data sheet for additional waste treatment information.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling:

Protective measures: Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8 of the safety

data sheet ).

Advice on general occupational hygiene: Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas

where this material is handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas. See also Section 8 of the safety data sheet for additional information on hygiene measures.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:

Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in a segregated and approved area.

Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and wellventilated

area, away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the safety data sheet) and food and drink. Eliminate all ignition sources. Separate from oxidizing materials. Keep container tightly closed

and sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.

Specific end use(s):

Recommendations: Not available.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Control parameters:

Exposure limit values: Not available.

Recommended monitoring procedures: If this product contains ingredients with exposure limits, personal,

workplace atmosphere or biological monitoring may be required to determine the effectiveness of the ventilation or other control measures and/or the necessity to use respiratory protective equipment. Reference should be made to monitoring standards, such as the following: European Standard EN 689 (Workplace atmospheres - Guidance for the assessment of exposure by inhalation to chemical agents for comparison with limit values and

measurement strategy) European Standard EN 14042 (Workplace atmospheres - Guide for the application and use of procedures for the assessment of exposure to chemical and biological agents)

European Standard EN 482 (Workplace atmospheres – General requirements for the performance of procedures for the measurement of chemical agents) Reference to national guidance documents for methods for the determination of hazardous substances will also be required.

Exposure controls:

Appropriate engineering controls:

If this product contains ingredients with exposure limits, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker exposure below any recommended or statutory limits.

Individual protection measures:

Hygiene measures: Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before

eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period. Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.

Eye/face protection: Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk

assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists, gases or dusts. If contact is possible, the following protection should be worn, unless the assessment indicates a higher degree of protection: safety glasses with side-shields. Recommended: Tightly fitting safety goggles.

Skin protection:

Hand protection: Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. After contamination with product change the gloves immediately and dispose of them according to relevant national and local regulations. Recommended: (< 1 hour) Polyvinyl chloride – PVC

Other skin protection: Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before handling this product.

Recommended: Wear protective clothing.

Respiratory protection: Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying with an approved standard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe working limits of the selected respirator. Recommended: Wear respiratory equipment in case vapours and aerosols are emitted.

Environmental exposure controls: Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
