First-aid measures

Effects and symptoms

Inhalation: Over-exposure by inhalation may cause respiratory irritation. (coughing)

Ingestion: There is no known acute effect after over-exposure to this product.

Skin contact: There is no known acute effect after over-exposure to this product.

Eye contact: Slight irritant. (redness)

First-aid measures

General: Move exposed person to fresh air.

Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. Obtain medical attention if symptoms occur.

Ingestion: If swallowed, rinse mouth with water (only if the person is conscious). Obtain medical attention if symptoms occur.

Skin contact: Rinse with plenty of running water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Obtain medical attention if symptoms occur.

Eye contact: Rinse with plenty of running water. Obtain medical attention if symptoms occur.

First aid facilities: No special recommendations

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

Small fire

Suitable: Use dry chemical or CO2

Large fire

Suitable: Use water, foam or dry chemical powder

Unusual fire/explosion hazards: Fine dust clouds may form explosive mixtures with air.

Hazardous thermal decomposition products: In case of fire, may produce hazardous decomposition products such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sodium oxide.

Special fire-fighting procedures: No special measures required.

Protection of fire-fighters: Wear suitable protective clothing. Self-contained breathing apparatus.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions: Avoid creating dusty conditions and prevent wind dispersal. Use suitable protective equipment. Keep away from sources of ignition. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Use explosion-proof electrical (ventilating, lighting and material handling) equipment.

Environmental precautions: No special measures required.

Clean-up Methods

Small spill and leak: Vacuum or sweep up material and place in a designated, labelled waste container. Clean up affected area with a large amount of water.

Large spill and leak: Use explosion-proof electrical (ventilating, lighting and material handling) equipment.

Handling and storage

Handling:Use with adequate ventilation. Local exhaust ventilation should be provided. Avoid creating dusty conditions and prevent wind dispersal. Use explosion-proof electrical (ventilating, lighting and material handling) equipment. Take measures against static discharge. Keep away from sources of ignition.

Storage: Store in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area (due to limited adsorption properties).

The product has been produced and packaged in accordance with strict quality practices. Maintain this quality level by storing this product away from other chemicals.

Remarks: Electrostatic charging can occur during unloading or processing of this material. If necessary take precautionary measures against static discharges.The product should be handled with the care usual when dealing with chemicals.

Packaging materials

Suitable: Polyethylene or Big bags (polypropylene).

Exposure controls / personal protection

Engineering measures: Use explosion-proof electrical (ventilating, lighting and material handling) equipment.

Hygiene measures: When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Wash hands after handling compounds and before eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the day.

Personal protective equipment - Production scale

Respiratory system: Wear dust protection mask P2.

Skin and body: Working clothes.

Eyes: Safety glasses with side shields.

Hands: Wear suitable gloves.

Recommended material(s): > 8 hours (breakthrough time): Nitril rubber, butyl rubber, neoprene, Viton, PVC. Replace damaged gloves.

Advice on personal protection is applicable for high exposure levels. Select proper personal protection based on a risk assessment of the actual exposure situation.

Stability and reactivity

Stability: Stable under recommended storage and handling conditions

Conditions to avoid: Exposure to sources of heat, sources of ignition, open flame.

Materials to avoid: Oxidizing substances, acids, iron salts, moisture.

Hazardous decomposition products: In case of fire: see section fire-fighting measures

Disposal considerations

Methods of disposal (waste of residues; contaminated packaging): Waste must be disposed of in accordance with national and local environmental regulations.Controlled biodegradation in waste water treatment is possible.
