Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Description of first aid measures

General advice:

First Aid responders should pay attention to self-protection and use the recommended protective clothing (chemical resistant gloves, splash protection).  If potential for exposure exists refer to Section 8 for specific personal protective equipment.  

Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call an emergency responder or ambulance, then give artificial respiration; if by mouth to mouth use rescuer protection (pocket mask etc). Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.  

Skin contact: Take off contaminated clothing. Wash skin with soap and plenty of water for 15-20 minutes. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.  Wash clothing before reuse. Shoes and other leather items which cannot be decontaminated should be disposed of properly.  Suitable emergency safety shower facility should be available in work area.  

Eye contact: Hold eyes open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eyes. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.  Suitable emergency eye wash facility should be available in work area.  

Ingestion: No emergency medical treatment necessary.  

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed:

Aside from the information found under Description of first aid measures (above) and Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed (below), any additional important symptoms and effects are described in Section 11: Toxicology Information.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Notes to physician: No specific antidote.  Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient.  Have the Safety Data Sheet, and if available, the product container or label with you when calling a poison control center or doctor, or going for treatment.  

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media: Water fog or fine spray.  Dry chemical fire extinguishers.  Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers.  Foam.  

Unsuitable extinguishing media: No data available

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Hazardous combustion products: During a fire, smoke may contain the original material in addition to combustion products of varying composition which may be toxic and/or irritating.  Combustion products may include and are not limited to:  Nitrogen oxides.  Hydrogen fluoride.  Hydrogen chloride.  Carbon monoxide.  Carbon dioxide.  

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:   Container may rupture from gas generation in a fire situation.  

Advice for firefighters

Fire Fighting Procedures: Keep people away.  Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry.  Soak thoroughly with water to cool and prevent re-ignition.  If material is molten, do not apply direct waterstream.  Use fine water spray or foam.  Use water spray to cool fire exposed containers and fire affected zone until fire is out and danger of reignition has passed.  Fight fire from protected location or safe distance. Consider the use of unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles.  Immediately withdraw all personnel from the area in case of rising sound from venting safety device or discoloration of the container.  Move container from fire area if this is possible without hazard.  Contain fire water run-off if possible. Fire water run-off, if not contained, may cause environmental damage.  Review the "Accidental Release Measures" and the "Ecological Information" sections of this (M)SDS.  

Special protective equipment for firefighters: Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, trousers, boots, and gloves).  Avoid contact with this material during fire fighting operations. If contact is likely, change to full chemical resistant fire fighting clothing with self-contained breathing apparatus.  If this is not available, wear full chemical resistant clothing with self-contained breathing apparatus and fight fire from a remote location.  For protective equipment in post-fire or non-fire clean-up situations, refer to the relevant sections.  

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Isolate area.  Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering the area.  Refer to section 7, Handling, for additional precautionary measures.  Use appropriate safety equipment.

Environmental precautions: Spills or discharge to natural waterways is likely to kill aquatic organisms.  Prevent from entering into soil, ditches, sewers, waterways and/or groundwater. See Section 12, Ecological Information.  

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Contain spilled material if possible.  Small spills:  Sweep up.  Collect in suitable and properly labeled containers.  Large spills:  Contact Dow AgroSciences for clean-up assistance.  See Section 13, Disposal Considerations, for additional information.  

Reference to other sections: References to other sections, if applicable, have been provided in the previous sub-sections.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling: Keep out of reach of children.  Do not swallow.  Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.  Avoid breathing dust or mist.  Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin.  Wash thoroughly after handling.  Keep container closed.  Use with adequate ventilation.  See Section 8, EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION.  

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Store in a dry place.  Store in original container.  Do not store near food, foodstuffs, drugs or potable water supplies.  

Specific end use(s):   For use as active substance in a plant protection product.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Use safety glasses (with side shields).  Safety glasses (with side shields) should be consistent with EN 166 or equivalent.  

Skin protection

Hand protection: Use chemical resistant gloves classified under Standard EN374: Protective gloves against chemicals and micro-organisms.  Examples of preferred glove barrier materials include:  Neoprene.  Nitrile/butadiene rubber ("nitrile" or "NBR").  Polyvinyl chloride ("PVC" or "vinyl").  When prolonged or frequently repeated contact may occur, a glove is recommended to prevent contact with the solid material.  NOTICE: The selection of a specific glove for a particular application and duration of use in a workplace should also take into account all relevant workplace factors such as, but not limited to: Other chemicals which may be handled, physical requirements (cut/puncture protection, dexterity, thermal protection), potential body reactions to glove materials, as well as the instructions/specifications provided by the glove supplier.  

Other protection: Use protective clothing chemically resistant to this material.  Selection of specific items such as face shield, boots, apron, or full body suit will depend on the task.  

Respiratory protection: Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to exceed the exposure limit requirements or guidelines.  If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or guidelines, use an approved respirator.  Selection of air-purifying or positive-pressure supplied-air will depend on the specific operation and the potential airborne concentration of the material.  For emergency conditions, use an approved positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus.  

Use the following CE approved air-purifying respirator:  Organic vapor cartridge with a particulate pre-filter, type AP2 (meeting standard EN 14387).  

Stability and reactivity

Reactivity: No dangerous reaction known under conditions of normal use.  

Chemical stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions.  See Storage, Section 7.  

Possibility of hazardous reactions: Polymerization will not occur.  

Conditions to avoid: Exposure to elevated temperatures can cause product to decompose.  Generation of gas during decomposition can cause pressure in closed systems.  

Incompatible materials: None known.  

Hazardous decomposition products: Decomposition products depend upon temperature, air supply and the presence of other materials.  Decomposition products can include and are not limited to:  Carbon monoxide.  Carbon dioxide.  Hydrogen chloride.  Hydrogen fluoride.  Nitrogen oxides.  Toxic gases are released during decomposition.
