Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

General information:

Take persons to a safe place. Observe self-protection for first aid. Always seek medical advice in the event of contact with this

substance.

After inhalation

Keep the patient calm. If unconscious place in stable sideways position. Protect against loss of body heat. If breathing stops,

administer artificial respiration. Seek medical advice immediately and clearly identify substance.

After contact with the skin

Remove contaminated clothes at once. Wash off with plenty of water or water and soap immediately for 10-15 minutes. In serious

cases, use emergency shower immediately. Seek medical advice immediately and clearly identify substance.

After contact with the eyes

Rinse immediately with plenty of water for 10-15 minutes. Keep eyelids well open to rinse the whole eye surface and eyelids with

water. Seek medical advice immediately and clearly identify substance. Continue to bathe eyes during transport to medical

practitioner.

After swallowing

If conscious, give several small portions of water to drink. Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical advice immediately and clearly

identify substance.

Advice for the physician

After inhalation: treat as early as possible using cortisone spray. Medical checks necessary up to a latency period of at least 24

hours. In the event of 1st degree burns use corticoid-externa. In the case of 2nd degree burns, use symptomatic treatment. Risk

of intra-abdominal gas developing if swallowed. Risk of perforation of the stomach.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media

alcohol-resistant foam , carbon dioxide , dry sand . Application of foam will release at least initially significant amounts of

flammable and corrosive vapors. These vapors could be trapped under the foam blanket.

Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons

water , extinguishing powder , halones .

Special exposure hazards arising from the substance or preparation itself, combustion products, resulting gases

Hazardous combustion products: hydrogen chloride .

Special protective equipment for fire fighting

Use respiratory protection independent of recirculated air. Use tightly fitting chemical protection suit (see section Exposure controls and personal protection equipment).

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions

Wear personal protection equipment (see section 8). Task force: Use tightly fitting chemical protection suit (see section 8). Keep

unprotected persons away. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Avoid inhaling mists and vapours. Do not walk through spilled

material. Ensure adequate ventilation. If material is released indicate risk of slipping.

Environmental precautions

Prevent material from entering surface waters, drains or sewers and soil. Contain any fluid that runs out using suitable material

(e.g. earth). Condense gasses/vapours/mists using a directed spray of water. Retain contaminated water/extinguishing water.

Dispose of in prescribed marked containers. For large amounts: Close leak if possible without risk.

Methods for cleaning up

Do not flush away with water. For small amounts: Absorb with liquid, mainly acid binding material and dispose of according to

local/state/federal regulation. Cover larger quantities by near waterless foam and take up in container. Exhaust vapours. Clean up

with plenty of water.

Further information:

Eliminate all sources of ignition.

Handling and storage

Handling

Precautions for safe handling:

Ensure adequate ventilation. Must be syphoned off in situ. Keep away from incompatible substances in accordance with section

Conditions to avoid. Spilled substance increases risk of slipping.

Precautions against fire and explosion:

Flammable vapors may accumulate and form explosive mixtures with air in containers, process vessels, including partial, empty

and uncleaned containers and vessels, or other enclosed spaces. Vapours heavier than air, therefore inflammable gas mixture

may form mainly near floor. Keep away from sources of ignition and do not smoke. Take precautionary measures against

electrostatic charging. Cool endangered containers with water.

Storage

Conditions for storage rooms and vessels:

Store under protective gas.

Advice for storage of incompatible materials:

not applicable

Further information for storage:

Protect against moisture. Store in original container only. Keep container tightly closed and store in a cool, well ventilated place.

Disposal considerations

Material

Recommendation:

Dispose of according to regulations by incineration in a special waste incinerator. Observe local/state/federal regulations. Ensure

special chem./phys. treatment after discussion with the supplier.

Uncleaned packaging

Recommendation:

Completely discharge containers (no tear drops, no powder rest, scraped carefully). Containers may be recycled or re-used.

Observe local/state/federal regulations. Uncleaned packaging should be treated with the same precautions as the material.
