First-aid measures
Description of first aid measures
After inhalation: fresh air. If breathing stops: mouth-to-mouth breathing or artificial respiration.
Oxygen if necessary. Immediately call in physician.
After skin contact: wash off with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing. Get medical
attention.
After eye contact: rinse out with plenty of water. Immediately call in ophthalmologist.
After swallowing: immediately make victim drink water (two glasses at most). Consult a physician.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
irritant effects, Cough, Shortness of breath, Dizziness, narcosis, agitation, spasms, Nausea, Headache, Tiredness
Drying-out effect resulting in rough and chapped skin.
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media
Carbon dioxide (CO₂), Foam, Dry powder
Unsuitable extinguishing media
For this substance/mixture no limitations of extinguishing agents are given.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Combustible material
Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors.
Forms explosive mixtures with air at ambient temperatures.
Pay attention to flashback.
Development of hazardous combustion gases or vapours possible in the event of fire.
Fire may cause evolution of:
Hydrogen chloride gas
Advice for firefighters
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters
Stay in danger area only with self-contained breathing apparatus. Prevent skin contact by keeping a safe distance or by wearing suitable protective clothing.
Further information
Suppress (knock down) gases/vapours/mists with a water spray jet. Prevent fire extinguishing water from contaminating surface water or the ground water system.

Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Advice for non-emergency personnel: Do not breathe vapours, aerosols. Avoid substance contact. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate the danger area, observe emergency procedures, consult an expert.
Advice for emergency responders: Protective equipment see section 8.
Environmental precautions
Do not empty into drains. Risk of explosion.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Cover drains. Collect, bind, and pump off spills.
Observe possible material restrictions (see sectionsHandling and storage and Stability and reactivity).
Take up with liquid-absorbent material (e.g. Chemizorb® ). Dispose of properly. Clean up affected area.
Reference to other sections
Indications about waste treatment see section disposal considerations.

Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Advice on protection against fire and explosion
Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Take precautionary measures against static discharge.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.
Store below +15 °C.
Specific end uses
Apart from the uses mentioned in section 1.2 of the SDS no other specific uses are stipulated.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Exposure controls
Engineering measures
Technical measures and appropriate working operations should be given priority over the use of personal protective equipment.
See section Handling and storage
Individual protection measures
Protective clothing needs to be selected specifically for the workplace, depending on concentrations and quantities of the hazardous substances handled. The chemical resistance of the protective equipment should be enquired at the respective supplier.
Hygiene measures
Immediately change contaminated clothing. Apply preventive skin protection. Wash hands and face after working with substance.
Eye/face protection
Safety glasses
Hand protection
splash contact:
Glove material:
Viton (R)
Glove thickness:
0,70 mm
Break through time:
> 480 min
The protective gloves to be used must comply with the specifications of EC Directive 89/686/EEC and the related standard EN374, for example KCL 890 Vitoject® (splash contact).
This recommendation applies only to the product stated in the safety data sheet<(>,<)> supplied by us and for the designated use. When dissolving in or mixing with other substances and under conditions deviating from those stated in EN374 please contact the supplier of CE-approved gloves.
Other protective equipment:
Flame retardant antistatic protective clothing
Respiratory protection
required when vapours/aerosols are generated.
Recommended Filter type: Filter AX (EN 371)
The entrepeneur has to ensure that maintenance, cleaning and testing of respiratory protective devices are carried out according to the instructions of the producer. These measures have to be properly documented.
Environmental exposure controls
Do not empty into drains.
