First-aid measures
Description of first aid measures
General advice:
Remove contaminated clothing.
If inhaled:
Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air, seek medical attention.
If on skin:
Wash thoroughly with soap and water.
If in eyes:
Wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open, consult an eye specialist.
If swallowed:
Immediately rinse mouth and then drink 200-300 ml of water, seek medical attention.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Symptoms: The most important known symptoms and effects are described in the labelling (see section 2) and/or in section 11., Further important symptoms and effects are so far not known.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Note to physician
Treatment: Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions), no known specific antidote.
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media:
water spray, dry powder, foam
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Hazards during fire-fighting:
harmful vapours
Evolution of fumes/fog. The substances/groups of substances mentioned can be released in case of fire.
Advice for fire-fighters
Protective equipment for fire-fighting:
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in confined areas or when exposed to combustion products.
Further information:
Contaminated extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with official regulations.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Use personal protective clothing. Information regarding personal protective measures see, section 8.
Environmental precautions
Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
For small amounts: Pick up with absorbent material (e.g. sand, sawdust, general-purpose binder). Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with regulations
For large amounts: Pump off product.
Spills should be contained, solidified, and placed in suitable containers for disposal.
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Keep container tightly closed. Protect from the effects of light.
Protection against fire and explosion:
No special precautions necessary.

Exposure controls / personal protection
No occupational exposure limits known.
Advice on system design:
Ensure adequate ventilation.
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection:
Respiratory protection in case of vapour/aerosol release. Particle filter with medium efficiency for solid and liquid particles (e.g. EN 143 or 149, Type P2 or FFP2)
Hand protection:
Chemical resistant protective gloves
Eye protection:
Tightly fitting safety goggles (chemical goggles) and face shield.
Body protection:
Body protection must be chosen based on level of activity and exposure.
General safety and hygiene measures:
Wearing of closed work clothing is required additionally to the stated personal protection equipment. No eating, drinking, smoking or tobacco use at the place of work. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice
