First-aid measures

Description of first aid measures

After Inhalation: fresh air

In case of skin contact: Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/shower.

After eye contact: rinse out with plenty of water. Remove contact lenses.

After swallowing: make victim drink water (two glasses at most). Consult doctor  if feeling unwell.

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

Water, 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.

Development of hazardous combustion gases or vapours possible in the event of fire.

Fire may cause evolution of: Sulphur oxides, nitrous gases, oxides of phospohorus

Advice for firefighters

Special protective equipment for firefighters

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: Avoid inhalation of dusts. Evacuate the danger area, observe emergency procedures, consult an expert.

Advice for emergency responders: Protective equipment see section “Exposure controls/personal protection”.

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 “Handling and Storage” and “Stability and Reactivity”).

Take up dry. Dispose of properly. Clean up affected area. Avoid generation of dusts.

Reference to other sections

Indications about waste treatment see section “Disposal Considerations”.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Control parameters

Exposure controls

Engineering measures

Technical measures and appropriate working operations should be given over the use of personal protective equipment. See section “Precautions for safe handling” in “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.

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

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 741 Dermatril® L (full contact), KCL 741 Dermatril® L (splash contact).

The breakthrough times stated above were determined by KCL in laboratory tests acc. to EN374 with samples of the recommended glove types.

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 (e.g. KCL GmbH, D-36124 Eichenzell, Internet: www.kcl.de).

Respiratory protection

Required when dusts are generated.

Recommended Filter type: Filter P 1 (acc. to DIN 3181) for solid particles of inert substances.

The entrepreneur 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.

Stability and reactivity

Reactivity

The following applies in general to flammable organic substances and mixtures: in correspondingly fine distribution, when whirled up a dust explosion potential may generally be assumed.

Chemical stability

The product is chemically stable under standard ambient conditions (room temperature).

Possibility of hazardous reactions

Violent reactions possible with: strong oxidizing agents.

Conditions to avoid

Strong heating (decomposition).

Incompatible materials

No information available.

Hazardous decomposition products

in the event of fire: See section “Firefighting measures”.

Disposal considerations

Follow national regulations
