Nausea

Dizziness

Headache

Fire-fighting measures

Exposure controls / personal protection

• General protective and hygienic measures:

The usual precautionary measures are to be adhered to when handling chemicals.

• Respiratory protection:

Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face respirator with

multipurposecombination (US) or type ABEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).

• Material of gloves

The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.

• Penetration time of glove material

The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.

Stability and reactivity

• Thermal decomposition / conditions to be avoided: Keep away from heat, air and moisture.

• Materials to be avoided: Avoid contact with strong oxidising agents and alkalis.

• Dangerous reactions Reacts with acids, alkalis and oxidizing agents.

• Dangerous decomposition products:

Sulphur dioxide

Nitrogen oxides

Disposal considerations

• Product:

• Recommendation Smaller quantities can be disposed of with household waste.

• Uncleaned packaging:

• Recommendation: Dispose off according to local, state, and federal governmental restrictions and requirements
