Keep patient warm and at rest.

Do not leave victims unattended.

Inhalation

after inhalation of vapours / spray mist

Move victims into fresh air.

If symptoms persist, call a physician.

In case of difficulties in breathing, supply oxygen.

Employ artificial respiration if breathing ceases.

Consult a physician immediately.

Skin contact

Wash off with plenty of water and soap immediately.

Continue flushing with polyethylene glycol 400.

If symptoms persist, call a physician.

Eye contact

Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes.

Protect unharmed eye.

Consult an ophthalmologist.

Ingestion

Do not induce vomiting and seek medical advice immediately.

Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water.

Notes to physician

Has skin-degreasing properties.

No specific antidote known.

Symptomatic treatment.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media

Water spray, foam, CO2, dry powder.

Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons

high volume water jet

Specific hazards during fire fighting

In case of fire cool endangered containers with water.

Closed container may rupture if strongly heated.

Heavier than air vapour.

Formation of flammable or explosive vapour/air mixtures possible.

Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters

In the case of respirable dust and/or fumes, use self-contained breathing apparatus

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions

Wear personal protective equipment; see section 8.

Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.

Do not inhale vapours / aerosols.

Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.

Environmental precautions

Do not allow entrance in sewage water, drainage systems, stretches of water, soil.

Avoid penetration into drainage system or in rooms situated at a lower level because of danger of explosion.

Issue an immediate alarm report to the company environmental protection department if the product unintentionally leaves the production area.

Methods for cleaning up

Take up mechanically or with an absorbent material.

Fill into marked, sealable containers.

To be disposed of in compliance with existing regulations.

Handling and storage

Handling

Safe handling advice

Wear personal protective equipment; see section 8.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Do not inhale vapours / aerosols.

Ensure sufficient ventilation.

Handle and open container with care.

Advice on protection against fire and explosion

Normal measures for preventive fire protection.

Take precautionary measures against static discharges.

Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.

Ensure explosion proofness.

Temperature class

Temperature classification T 3.

Storage

Requirements for storage areas and containers

Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place.

Suitable materials       for example, Unalloyed steel

Suitable materials       See DECHEMA materials table for additional materials.

Advice on common storage

Observe prohibition against storing together!

Exposure controls / personal protection

Engineering measures

Provide for good ventilation if vapours/aerosols are formed.

Occupational exposure controls

Further information

ACGIH (American Conference of Governmental Industry Hygienists)

Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection

In case of dusts/vapours/aerosols being formed or if the limit values like TLV are exceeded:

use respiratory equipment with suitable filter (filter type A) or wear a self contained respiratory apparatus

Hand protection

Chemical-resistant protective gloves (EN 374)

Glove material       for example, butyl-rubber

Material thickness       0.5 mm

Break through time       >= 480 min

Method       Source: GESTIS substance database (hazardous substance information system of commercial professional associations)

Glove material       for example, nitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) gloves

Material thickness       0.35 mm

Break through time       >= 480 min

Method       Source: GESTIS substance database (hazardous substance information system of commercial professional associations)

Selection of protective gloves to meet the requirements of specific workplaces.

Suitability for specific workplaces should be clarified with protective glove manufacturers.

The information is based on our own tests, references from the literature and information from glove manufacturers, or derived by analogy with similar materials.

Remember that the useful time per day of a chemical protection glove may be much shorter than the permeation time determined according to EN 374 due to the many different influential factors involved (e.g. temperature).

Eye protection

Safety glasses with side-shields

Skin and body protection

Select materials and equipment for physical protection depending on the concentration and volume of hazardous substances and the workplace involved.

Hygiene measures

Remove contaminated or saturated clothing.

Avoid contact with the skin and the eyes.

Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in the application area.

Use barrier cream regularly.

Protective measures

Wear suitable protective clothing.

Stability and reactivity

Conditions to avoid

Keep away from heat and sources of ignition.

Materials to avoid

strong oxidizing agents

Hazardous decomposition products

In case of fire or thermal decomposition production of, for example, Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide (CO2)

Hazardous reactions

Reaction with strong oxidants.

Vapours may form explosive mixture with air.

Disposal considerations

With respect to local regulations, e.g. dispose of to waste incineration plant

No waste key number as per the European Waste Types List can be assigned to this product, since such classification is based on the (as yet undetermined) use to which the product is put by the consumer.

The waste key number must be determined as per the European Waste Types List (decision on EU Waste Types List 2000/532/EC) in cooperation with the disposal firm / producing firm / official authority
