Description of first aid measures

Inhalation

If aerosol or mists are formed:

If necessary: Provide with fresh air.

Skin contact

Wash off with plenty of water and soap.

Eye contact

Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water keeping eyelid open.

In case of persistent discomfort: Consult an ophthalmologist.

Ingestion

Have the mouth rinsed with water.

After absorbing large amounts of substance / In case of discomfort: Supply with medical care.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

Symptoms

None known

Hazards

None known

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

After absorbing large amounts of substance:

administration of activated charcoal.

Acceleration of gastrointestinal passage

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

      Suitable extinguishing media:       Foam

Carbon dioxide (CO2)

dry powder

      Unsuitable extinguishing media:       Water

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

In case of fire cool endangered containers with water.

Closed container may rupture if strongly heated.

Advice for firefighters

Water used to extinguish fire should not enter drainage systems, soil or stretches of water.

Ensure there are sufficient retaining facilities for water used to extinguish fire.

Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.

In case of fire: wear a self contained respiratory apparatus

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.

Do not allow to enter drains (danger of explosion).

Ensure adequate ventilation

Environmental precautions

Do not allow entrance in sewage water, soil stretches of water, groundwater, drainage systems.

Cover over drainage system. Avoid penetration into drainage system or in rooms situated at a lower level because of danger of explosion.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust).

Fill into marked, sealable containers.

To be disposed of in compliance with existing regulations.

Suitable absorbents:

sand (for damming up)

diatomaceous earth

universal absorbent

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Provide good ventilation or extraction.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Advice on protection against fire and explosion

Take precautionary measures against static charges, keep away from sources of ignition.

Explosion protection equipment required.

Danger of explosion from residual product fumes; therefore avoid spark production through cutting, grinding, or welding work in the area of the container.

When repairs of the production system are to be made (e.g. welding work), the section to be repaired must be essentially free of product.

Storage

Keep container tightly closed.

Keep in a well-ventilated place.

Keep in a cool place.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Control parameters

Other information

Contains no substances with occupational exposure limit values.

Exposure controls

Engineering measures

Extraction at the emission source required.

Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection

In case of dusts/vapours/aerosols being formed or if the limit values like TLV are exceeded:

use respiratory equipment with suitable filter (filter type ABEK) or wear a self contained respiratory apparatus

Use only respiratory protection equipment with CE-symbol including four digit test number.

The filter class for the respirator must be suitable for the maximum expected contaminant concentration (gas/vapour/aerosol/particulates) that may arise when handling the product. If this concentration is exceeded, self-contained breathing apparatus must be used.

Note time limit for wearing respiratory protective equipment.

Hand protection

Glove material       for example, butyl-rubber

Material thickness       0,5 mm

Break through time       >= 480 min

Glove material       for example, Fluorinated rubber (Viton)

Material thickness       0,4 mm

Break through time       >= 480 min

Selection of protective gloves to meet the requirements of specific workplaces.

Suitability for specific workplaces should be clarified with protective glove manufacturers.

The information is based on our own tests, references from the literature and information from glove manufacturers, or derived by analogy with similar materials.

Please observe that the daily duration of usage of a chemical protective glove is in practice far shorter due to the many influencing factors (e.g. temperature, mechanical strain on the glove material) than the permeation time determined acc. EN 374.

Eye protection

Safety glasses

Skin and body protection

When handling larger quantities:

Flame retardant protective clothing

Hygiene measures

When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Wash face and/or hands before break and end of work.

Remove contaminated or saturated clothing.

Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.

Protective measures

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

The personal protective equipment used must meet the requirements of directive 89/686/EEC and amendments (CE certification).

If workplace exposure limits are exceeded and/or larger amounts are released (leakage, spilling, dust) the indicated respiratory protection should be used.

If there is the possibility of skin/eye contact, the indicated hand/eye/body protection should be used.

Do not breathe in vapours or aerosols.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Stability and reactivity

Reactivity

No dangerous reaction known under conditions of normal use.10.2.       Chemical stability

Stable under recommended storage conditions

Possibility of hazardous reactions

      Possibility of hazardous reactions       Vapours may form explosive mixture with air.

Conditions to avoid

Keep away from heat and sources of ignition

Incompatible materials

oxidizing agents, alkalis, Acids, water

Hazardous decomposition products

Decomposition products from hydrolysis in water

hydrogen

Disposal considerations

Product

With respect to local regulations, e.g. dispose of to suitable waste incineration plant.

Uncleaned packaging

Do not reuse empty containers and dispose of in accordance with the regulations issued by the appropriate local authorities.

If there is product residue in the emptied container, follow directions for handling on the container's label.

Incorrect disposal or reuse of this container is illegal and can be dangerous.

Other countries: observe the national regulations.

Waste Key Number

No waste key number as per the European Waste Types List can be assigned to this product, since such classification is based on the (as yet undetermined) use to which the product is put by the consumer.

The waste key number must be determined as per the European Waste Types List (decision on EU Waste Types List 2000/532/EC) in cooperation with the disposal firm / producing firm / official authority.
