First-aid measures

General advice

Immediately remove contaminated clothing.

If inhaled:

Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air, seek medical attention.

On skin contact:

Wash affected areas thoroughly with soap and water. Seek medical attention.

On contact with eyes:

Immediately wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open,

consult an eye specialist.

On ingestion:

Rinse mouth immediately and then drink plenty of water, seek medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media:

carbon dioxide, dry powder, foam

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Evolution of fumes/fog.

Advice for fire-fighters

Special protective equipment:

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-protective clothing.

Further information:

Dispose of fire debris and contaminated extinguishing water in accordance with official regulations.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Ensure adequate ventilation.

Environmental precautions

Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

For small amounts: Pick up with suitable absorbent material (e.g. sand, sawdust, general-purpose

binder, kieselguhr).

For large amounts: Dike spillage. Vacuum up spilled product.

For residues: Pick up with suitable absorbent material.

Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with regulations.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Ensure thorough ventilation of stores and work areas.

Protection against fire and explosion:

Prevent electrostatic charge - sources of ignition should be kept well clear - fire extinguishers should

be kept handy.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Segregate from oxidants.

Further information on storage conditions: Keep container tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated

place. Protect from the effects of light.

Exposure controls

Personal protective equipment

Hand protection:

Suitable chemical resistant safety gloves (EN 374) also with prolonged, direct contact

(Recommended: Protective index 6, corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to EN

374): E.g. nitrile rubber (0.4 mm), chloroprene rubber (0.5 mm), butyl rubber (0.7 mm) and other

Supplementary note: The specifications are based on tests, literature data and information of glove

manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions (e.g.

temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in practice

may be much shorter than the permeation time determined through testing.

Eye protection:

Tightly fitting safety goggles (splash goggles) (e.g. EN 166)

Body protection:

Body protection must be chosen based on level of activity and exposure.

General safety and hygiene measures

Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and

safety practice. Wearing of closed work clothing is required additionally to the stated personal

protection equipment. Hands and/or face should be washed before breaks and at the end of the shift.

Stability and reactivity

Reactivity

Corrosion to metals: Corrosive effects to metal are not anticipated.

Chemical stability

The product is stable if stored and handled as prescribed/indicated.

Possibility of hazardous reactions

When finely distributed, self-ignition is possible.

Conditions to avoid

Avoid contact with air.

Incompatible materials

Substances to avoid:

amines, acids, Alkalines

Hazardous decomposition products

Hazardous decomposition products:

No hazardous decomposition products if stored and handled as prescribed/indicated.

Disposal considerations

Observe national and local legal requirements.
