Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
Solid form:
- General information: Remove soiled or soaked clothing immediately. If someone exposed to the product feels unwell, contact a doctor and show this safety data sheet. Adhere to personal protective measures when giving first aid
- After inhalation: Remove the casualty into fresh air and keep him calm. Call in a physician immediately and show him the Safety Data Sheet.
- After contact with skin: After contact with molten product cool quickly with cold water. Do not pull solidified product from skin. Start medical treatment immediately. In case of contact with skin wash off immediately with polyethylene glycol 400, then with plenty of water. If polyethylene glycol is not available, rinse of with plenty of water.
- After contact with eyes: Rinse immediately with gently running water for 15 minutes, maintaining eyelids open. Consult at once an ophthalmologist or a physician.
- After ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Call in a physician immediately and show him the Safety Data Sheet. Let plenty of water be drunk in small gulps.
- Advice to doctor:
- Hazards: Risk of pulmonary oedema
- Treatment: Treat symptomatically.

Fire-fighting measures
Solid form:
- Suitable extinguishing media: foam; water spray jet (limited); dry powder; Water spray jet, but only if the temperature of the melt is below 90 °C. At higher temperatures, there is a risk of a "fat explosion".
- Extinguishing media that must not be used for safety reasons: Full water jet
- Special hazards from the substance itself, its combustion products or from its vapours: In the event of fire the following can be released: Hydrogen chloride (HCl)
- Special protective equipment for firefighting´: Wear flame-proof clothes, flame-proof gloves, and, if necessary, flame-proof hood as well as helmet and fire-brigade boots when fighting fire. Use self-contained breathing apparatus
- Further information: Fire residues and contaminated firefighting water must be disposed of in accordance with the local regulations.

Accidental release measures
Solid form:
- Personal precautions: Ensure adequate ventilation.
- Environmental precautions: Do not allow to enter drains or waterways
- Methods for cleaning up/taking up: The hot melt is to be taken up only by trained personnel (fire-brigade). Chemical protection suit
and, if necessary, additional heat-protection gloves, should be worn when handling the product. Containers in which spilt substance has been collected must be adequately labelled.
- Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with the regulations.
- Clean contaminated floors and objects thoroughly, observing environmental regulations
Melt form:
- Personal precautions: See: Exposure controls and personal protection.
- Environmental precautions: Do not allow to enter drains or waterways.

Information regarding Waste Disposal, see chapter 13.
Handling and storage
Solid form:
- Advice on safe handling: Avoid spilling or spraying in enclosed areas.
- Advice on protection against fire and explosion: In principle, with organic products which are -intentionally or unintentionally- in powdered form,
the danger of a dust explosion should be kept in mind. Avoid impact, friction and accumulation of electrostatic charge. Keep away from sources of ignition - refrain from smoking.
- Requirements for storage rooms and vessels: Storage rooms must be properly ventilated.
- Advice on storage compatibility: Do not store or transport together with foodstuffs.
- Further information on storage conditions: Storage temperature should not fall below 15 °C
Melt form:
- Advice on safe handling: Provide good ventilation of working area (local exhaust ventilation if necessary). When transferring heated product exhaust out the formed vapours.
- Advice on protection against fire and explosion: Observe the general rules of industrial fire protection.
- Requirements for storage rooms and vessels: Keep only in the original container.
- Advice on storage compatibility: Do not store or transport together with foodstuffs.
- Further information on storage conditions: Keep container tightly closed; open and handle with care. Protect from moisture.
