Administrative data
First-aid measures
General information: Instantly remove any clothing soiled by the product. Remove breathing apparatus only after soiled clothing has been completely removed. In case of irregular breathing or respiratory arrest provide artificial respiration.
Inhalation: Supply fresh air. If required, provide artificial respiration. Keep patient warm. Consult doctor if symptoms persist. Seek medical advice.
Skin contact: Instantly wash with water and soap and rinse thoroughly. Seek immediate medical advice
Eye contact: Rinse opened eye for several minutes under running water. Then consult doctor.
Swallowing: Seek immediate medical advice.
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing Media: Suitable extinguishing agents: Use carbon dioxide, sand or extinguishing powder. Don not use water.
For safety reasons unsuitable extinguishing media: Water.
Special hazards caused by the material, its products of combustion or flue gases: Can be released in case of fire. Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Hydrogen Chloride (HCl)
Precautions for fire fighters Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear full protective suit.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Use breathing apparatus. Wear protective equipment. Keep unprotected persons away. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Environmental precautions: Do not allow material to be released to the environment without proper governmental permits.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Absorb with liquid-binding material (sand, diatomite, acid binders, universal binders, sawdust). Use neutralising agent. Dispose of contaminated material as waste. Ensure adequate ventilation. Do not flush with water or aqueous cleaning agents.
Prevention of secondary hazard: Keep away from ignition sources.
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling: Handle under dry protective gas. Keep containers tightly sealed. Store in cool, dry conditions in well sealed containers. Ensure good ventilation/exhaustion at the workplace. Open and handle container with care.
Information about protection against explosions and fires: Keep ignition sources away - Do not smoke.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Store away from oxidising agents. Store away from strong bases. Store away from water.
Further inforamtion about storage coditions: Store under dry inert gas. This product is moisture sensitive. Keep container tighly sealed. Store in cool, dry conditions in well sealed containers. Protect from humidity and keep away from water. Store in a locked cabinet or with access restricted to technical experts or their assistants.
