Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

General advice:

First aider needs to protect himself. Move out of dangerous area. Take off all contaminated clothing immediately.

Inhalation:

If inhaled, remove to fresh air.

Skin contact:

After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. Call a physician if irritation develops or persists.

Eye contact:

Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water, also under the eyelids. Protect unharmed eye. Remove contact lenses. Call a physician immediately.

Ingestion:

Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water. Call a physician immediately.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media:

- Water spray

- Foam

- Carbon dioxide (CO2)

- Dry powder

Extinguishing media which shall not be used for safety reasons:

- High volume water jet

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

In case of fire hazardous decomposition products may be produced such as:

- Carbon monoxide

- Carbon dioxide (CO2)

- Ammonia

- nitrogen oxides (NOx)

Advice for firefighters

- In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

- No unprotected exposed skin areas.

- Use personal protective equipment.

- Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment. Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

- Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Provide adequate ventilation. Use personal protective equipment.

Environmental precautions

- Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up

- Use mechanical handling equipment.

- Place spilled material in an appropriate container for disposal.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

- Advice on safe handling:

Avoid dust formation. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not ingest. Wear personal protective equipment. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

- Advice on protection against fire and explosion:

Normal measures for preventive fire protection.

- Hygiene measures:

General industrial hygiene practice.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

- Requirements for storage areas and containers:

Store in original container. Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place.

- DNEL/ PNEC-Values: No DNEL-data available, no PNEC data available.

EXPOSURE CONTROLS

Occupational exposure controls:

- The Personal Protective Equipment must be in accordance with EN standards:respirator EN 136, 140, 149; safety glasses EN 166; protective suit: EN 340, 463, 468, 943-1, 943-2; gloves EN 374, safety shoes EN-ISO 20345.

- Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.

- Avoid dust formation.

Engineering measures:

- Local exhaust

Personal protective equipment

- Respiratory protection: In the case of dust or aerosol formation use respirator with an approved filter.

- Hand protection:

Glove material: Natural Latex

Break through time: > 480 min

Glove thickness: 0,6 mm

Lapren®706

Gloves must be inspected prior to use.

Replace when worn.

Remarks: Supplementary note: The specifications are based on information and tests from similar substances by analogy. Due to varying conditions ( e.g.temperature or other strains) it must be considered that the usage of a chemical protective glove in practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined in accordance with EN 374. Since actual conditions of practical use often deviate from standardised conditions according EN 374 the glove manufacturer reccomends to use the chemical protective glove in practice not longer than 50% of the recomended permeation time. Manufacturer´s directions for use should be observed because of great diversity of types . Suitable gloves tested according EN 374 are supplied e.g. from KCL GmbH, D-36124 Eichenzell, [e-mail]

- Eye protection: Safety glasses with side-shields

- Skin and body protection: Protective suit

Environmental exposure controls

- Handle in accordance with local environmental regulations and good industrial practices.

Stability and reactivity
