Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

General advice

: In the case of accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately (show the label where possible). First aider needs to protect himself. Move out of dangerous area. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately.  

Inhalation

: If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If symptoms persist, call a physician. Keep patient warm and at rest. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.  

Skin contact

: Do NOT use solvents or thinners. Immediate medical treatment is necessary as untreated wounds from corrosion of the skin heal slowly and with difficulty. Immediately flush skin with large amounts of water.  

Eye contact

: Protect unharmed eye. Small amounts splashed into eyes can cause irreversible tissue damage and blindness. If easy to do, remove contact lens, if worn. In the case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice.

 

Ingestion

: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting: seek medical advice immediately and show this container or label. If a person vomits when lying on his back, place him in the recovery position.  

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media : Water, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Dry chemical, Foam

Specific hazards

: Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire. Hazardous decomposition products may be formed under fire conditions (see section 10). Exposure to decomposition products may be a hazard to health.  

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters

: In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Use personal protective equipment.  

Further information

: Standard procedure for chemical fires. Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment. In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Use water spray to cool unopened containers. Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This must not be discharged into drains. Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.  

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions

: Refer to protective measures listed in other parts8. Use personal protective equipment. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Avoid inhalation of vapour or mist. Immediately evacuate personnel to safe areas.  

Environmental precautions : Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.  

Methods for cleaning up

: Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust). Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal. Pick up and transfer to properly labelled containers. Clean contaminated surface thoroughly.
