First-aid measures

Description of first aid measures

General advice:

Do not leave the victim unattended.

If inhaled:

Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel. It may be dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Get medical attention if adverse health effects persist or are severe. If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately. Maintain open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband

In case of skin contact:

After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse

In case of eye contact:

Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Remove contact lenses. Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. Protect unharmed eye. If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.

If swallowed:

Rinse mouth with water. Take the victim into fresh air. Keep patient warm and at rest. Give small amounts of water to drink. Stop if the exposed person feels sick as vomiting may be dangerous. DO NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by a physician or poison control center. If vomiting occurs, the head should be kept low so that vomit does not enter the lungs. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately. Keep respiratory tract clear. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If symptoms persist, call a physician.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Treatment:

No special actions required.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media:

In case of fire, use water spray (fog), foam, dry chemical or CO₂.

Unsuitable extinguishing media:

High volume water jet

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Specific hazards during firefighting:

In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst. Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses

Hazardous combustion products:

Carbon dioxide (CO2); Carbon monoxide; Oxides of phosphorus

Advice for firefighters

Special protective equipment for firefighters:

Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.

Further information:

Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Standard procedure for chemical fires. 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, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Personal precautions:

No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Do not breathe vapors or spray mist. Ensure adequate ventilation. In case of inadequate ventilation wear respiratory protection. Use personal protective equipment.

Environmental precautions

Environmental precautions:

Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers. If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up

Methods for cleaning up:

Stop leak if safe to do so. Do not allow into the sewerage system, surface waters or groundwater or into the soil. Disposed off through appropriate waste disposal carriers/authorities. Contaminated absorbent material may pose the same hazard as the spilled product. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Advice on safe handling:

Do not get in eyes or mouth or on skin. Do not breathe vapors/dust. Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking. Keep in the original container or an approved alternative made from a compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in use. Empty containers retain product residue; observe all precautions for product. Do not re-use empty containers. Dispose of rinse water in accordance with local and national regulations

Advice on protection against fire and explosion:

Normal measures for preventive fire protection.

Hygiene measures:

When using do not eat or drink. When using do not smoke. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Requirements for storage areas and containers

Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials and food and drink. Store in a corrosion resistant stainless steel container with a resistant inner liner. Keep containers sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Use appropriate container to avoid environmental contamination. Electrical installations / working materials must comply with the techno-logical safety standards.

Advice on common storage:

Keep away from metals. Incompatible with bases.

Storage class (TRGS 510):

10, Combustible liquids

Further information on storage stability:

No decomposition if stored and applied as directed
