Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Description of first aid measures

General advice: Take off all contaminated clothing immediately.
If inhaled: Take the person into the fresh air and keep him warm, let him rest; if there is difficulty in breathing, medical advice is required.
In case of skin contact: In case of skin contact wash affected areas thoroughly with soap and plenty of water. Consult a doctor in the event of a skin reaction.
In case of eye contact: Hold the eyes open and rinse with preferably lukewarm water for a sufficiently long period of time (at least 10 minutes). Contact an ophthalmologist.
If swallowed: DO NOT induce the patient to vomit, medical advice is required.

 

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

Notes to physician: Basic first aid, decontamination, symptomatic treatment.

 

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Therapeutic measures: No information available.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media: Carbon dioxide (CO2), Foam, extinguishing powder, in cases of larger fires, water spray should be used.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: High volume water jet

 

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Burning releases carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxides of nitrogen and traces of hydrogen cyanide. In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes.

 

Advice for fire-fighters

Firemen must wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Do not allow contaminated extinguishing water to enter the soil, ground-water or surface waters.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Put on protective equipment (see section 8). Ensure adequate ventilation/exhaust extraction. Keep unauthorized persons away.

 

Environment related measures
Do not allow to escape into waterways, wastewater or soil.

 

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Take up with absorbent for chemicals or, if necessary with dry sand and store in closed containers.

 

Reference to other sections
For further disposal measures see section "Disposal Considerations".

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling
General conditions of use are further specified in the Chemical Safety report or the annex of the safety data sheet.
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
In all workplaces or parts of the plant where high concentrations of aerosols and/or vapors may be generated (e.g. during pressure release, mold venting or when cleaning mixing heads with an air blast), appropriately located exhaust ventilation must be provided in such a way that the WEL is not exceeded.
The air should be drawn away from the personnel handling the product The efficiency of the exhaust equipment should be periodically checked.
Precautions should generally be taken against electrostatic charges according to the equipment used and the way the product is handled and packaged.
Keep away from foodstuffs, drinks and tobacco. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday. Keep working clothes separately. Change contaminated or soaked clothing immediately.

 

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Keep container tightly closed and dry.
Storage class (TRGS 510) : 10: Combustible liquids

 

Specific end use(s)
For details of the identified uses refer to Chemical Safety report or the annex of the safety data sheet.

Exposure controls
Respiratory protection
Unless the product is entirely enclosed, do not handle it until you have studied the respiratory precautions issued by the appropriate authority or accident prevention association. If vapors form, respirators must be used. Put on full-mask respirator with filter type ABEK.
If applicable, further recommendations regarding respiratory protection can be found in the Chemical Safety report or the annex of the safety data sheet..
Hand protection
Suitable materials for safety gloves; EN 374:
Nitrile rubber - NBR: thickness >=0,35mm; breakthrough time >=480min.
Breakthrough time not tested; dispose of immediately after contamination.
Eye protection
Wear eye/face protection.
Skin and body protection
Wear suitable protective clothing.

Disposal considerations

Dispose in accordance with applicable international, national and local laws, ordinances and statutes.
For disposal within the EC, the appropriate code according to the European Waste Catalogue (EWC) should be used.

 

Waste treatment methods
After containers have been emptied as thoroughly as possible (e.g. by pouring, scraping or draining until "drip-dry"), they can be sent to an appropriate collection point set up within the framework of the existing take-back scheme of the chemical industry. Containers must be recycled in compliance with national legislation and environmental regulations.
None disposal into waste water.
