First-aid measures
Description of first aid measures
After inhalation: fresh air.
After skin contact: wash off with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing.
After eye contact: rinse out with plenty of water.
After swallowing: make victim drink water (two glasses at most). Consult doctor if feeling unwell.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
We have no description of any toxic symptoms.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
No information available.
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media
Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.
Unsuitable extinguishing media
For this substance/mixture no limitations of extinguishing agents are given.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Not combustible.
Ambient fire may liberate hazardous vapours.
Fire may cause evolution of:
Sulphur oxides
Advice for firefighters
Special protective equipment for firefighters
In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
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: Avoid substance contact. Avoid inhalation of dusts. 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.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Cover drains. Collect, bind, and pump off spills.
Observe possible material restrictions (see sections 7 and 10).
Take up dry. Dispose of properly. Clean up affected area. Avoid generation of dusts.

Contains no substances with occupational exposure limit
Exposure controls
Engineering measures
Technical measures and appropriate working operations should be given priority over the use of personal protective equipment
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.
Eye/face protection, Safety glasses
Hand protection full contact:
Glove material: Nitrile rubber
Glove thickness: 0.11 mm
Break through time: > 480 min
splash contact:
Glove material: Nitrile rubber
Glove thickness: 0.11 mm
Break through time: > 480 min
Respiratory protection
required when dusts are generated.
Recommended Filter type: Filter P 2 (acc. to DIN 3181) for solid and liquid particles of harmful substances
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.

Disposal considerations
Waste treatment methods
Waste material must be disposed of in accordance with the Directive on waste 2008/98/EC as well as other national and local regulations. Leave chemicals in original containers. No mixing with other waste. Handle uncleaned containers like the product itself.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
