Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

INHALATION: Remove concerned person out of danger area in a well aerated place; if any symptoms happen, look for medical assistance. If breathing has stopped, apply mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration using rescuer protection (pocket mask).

SKIN: Immediately remove all contaminated clothing. Wash the contaminated part with plenty of water and rinse. If any symptoms develop, look for medical assistance.

EYE: Wash abundantly with running water holding the open eyelids. Remove contact lenses, keep eyelids open.

INGESTION: If swallowed do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth with water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If any symptoms develop, look for medical assistance. If breathing has stopped, apply mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration using rescuer protection (pocket mask).

Fire-fighting measures

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: In case of fire, normal extinguishing media may be used (e.g. carbon dioxide, foam, dry powder).
EXPOSURE HAZARDS: In combustion emits toxic fumes of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur oxides.
PROTECTION OF FIRE-FIGHTERS: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes.

Accidental release measures

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS: Wear personal protective equipment. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.

ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS: Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater.

CLEAN-UP PROCEDURES: Contain with suitable absorbent material. Scoop into marked containers for disposal as chemical waste. Flush small residues away with water. Disposal according to local regulations.

Handling and storage

HANDLING: Avoid ingestion, inhalation, skin and eye contact. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene practice and any legal requirements.Keep container tightly closed. Handle and open container with care. Close containers immediately after use. Ensure good local exhaust ventilation. Do not eat, drink or smoke at the workplace.

STORAGE REQUIREMENTS: Keep container tightly closed. Store in a cool, dry area with adequate ventilation.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Respiratory protection : Filters capturing particles.

Hand protection : Impermeable gloves resistant to chemical products.Take into account that the resistance of the gloves could be influenced by different factors, e.g. the work condition or temperature. Consequently the resistance could be different from the one indicated by the permeation data for a certain type of gloves.

Eye protection:Protective goggles

Body protection : Workers have to wear closed working clothes. The contaminated clothing should be washed before re-using them.

Additional information about engineering measures : Provide adequate ventilation. If this is not sufficient to maintain concentrations of particulates and solvent vapour below the OEL (=Occupational Exposure Limit) , suitable respiratory protection must be worn.

Stability and reactivity

Chemical stability: Stable under recommended storage and handling conditions.
Materials to avoid: Oxidizing agents, reducing agents
Hazardous decomposition products: None under normal storage conditions.

Disposal considerations

Waste treatment methods : Must be disposed of in accordance with local and national regulations. Do not empty into waters or drains.

Contaminated packaging : Not reclaimable packs must be disposed with the product. Must be disposed of in accordance with local and national regulations.
