Administrative data

First-aid measures

General information:       Take off all contaminated clothing immediately.

Inhalation:       If aerosol or mists are formed: Possible discomfort: severe irritation of mucous lining (nose, throat, eyes), cough, sneezing, flow of tears Move victims into fresh air. If breathing difficulties occur: Keep patient half sitting with upper body raised. Call a physician immediately.

Skin Contact:       Wash off immediately with plenty of water. Consult a physician.

Eye contact:       With eye held open, thoroughly rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 10 minutes. Continue rinsing process with eye rinsing solution. Protect unharmed eye. Call ambulance. (Cue: caustic burn of the eyes) Immediate further treatment in ophthalmic hospital/ ophthalmologist. Continue rinsing eye until arrival at ophthalmic hospital.

Ingestion:       Do NOT induce vomiting. Only when patient fully conscious: Have the mouth rinsed with water. Have patient drink plenty of water in small sips. Notify ambulance immediately (keyword: chemical burn).

Personal Protection for First-aid Responders:       In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed

Symptoms:       None known.

Hazards:       None known.

Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Treatment:       Therapy as for chemical burn. If substance has been swallowed: Early endoscopy in order to assess mucosa lesions in the oesophagus and stomach which may appear. If necessary, suck away leftover substance. Allergic reactions cannot be excluded. Treatment of allergic reaction if necessary.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable (and unsuitable) extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media:       Carbon Dioxide. Dry powder

Unsuitable extinguishing media:       Water.

Specific hazards arising from the chemical:       May be released in case of fire: metal oxides Carbon Monoxide. Carbon Dioxide. Nitrogen Oxides

Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters

Special fire fighting procedures:       Water used to extinguish fire should not enter drainage systems, soil or stretches of water. Ensure there are sufficient retaining facilities for water used to extinguish fire. Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters:       In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:       Use personal protective equipment. Keep out unprotected persons. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not inhale vapours / aerosols.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:       Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust). Fill into marked, sealable containers. To be disposed of in compliance with existing regulations. Suitable absorbents: Dry sand. vermiculite diatomaceous earth

Environmental Precautions:       Do not allow entrance in sewage water, soil stretches of water, groundwater, drainage systems.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling:       

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Provide sufficient ventilation and exhaust at the workplace. Avoid breathing mist or vapours. If workplace exposure limits are exceeded and/or larger amounts are released (leakage, spilling, dust) the indicated respiratory protection should be used. If there is the possibility of skin/eye contact, the indicated hand/eye/body protection should be used. Use protective clothing / face shield if necessary. Do not breathe in vapours or aerosols. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:       

Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place. Storage under inert gas (nitrogen) recommended. Protect from direct sunlight. Protect from moisture. Standard procedure for chemical fires. When repairs of the production system are to be made (e.g. welding work), the section to be repaired must be essentially free of product.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Control Parameters

Occupational Exposure Limits

Observe national threshold limit values.

Biological Limit Values

No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s).

Appropriate Engineering Controls       Provide adequate ventilation.

Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment

Eye/face protection:       close-fitting protective goggles (e.g. closed goggles) If occurs of vapour / respirable aersols: wear protective screen.

Skin Protection

Hand Protection:       Material: Butyl rubber.

Break-through time: >= 480 min

Material: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

Break-through time: >= 120 min

Additional Information: Selection of protective gloves to meet the requirements of specific workplaces., Suitability for specific workplaces should be clarified with protective glove manufacturers., The information is based on our own tests, references from the literature and information from glove manufacturers, or derived by analogy with similar materials., Please observe that the daily duration of usage of a chemical protective glove is in practice far shorter due to the many influencing factors (e.g. temperature, mechanical strain on the glove material) than the permeation time determined acc. EN 374.

Other:       When handling larger quantities: chemical protective suit, disposable protective suit

Respiratory Protection:       In case of dusts/vapours/aerosols being formed or if the limit values like TLV are exceeded: use respiratory equipment with suitable filter (filter type ABEK) or wear a self contained respiratory apparatus Use only respiratory protection equipment with CE-symbol including four digit test number. The filter class for the respirator must be suitable for the maximum expected contaminant concentration (gas/vapour/aerosol/particulates) that may arise when handling the product. If this concentration is exceeded, self-contained breathing apparatus must be used. Note time limit for wearing respiratory protective equipment.

Stability and reactivity

Reactivity:       No dangerous reaction known under conditions of normal use.

Chemical Stability:       Stable under recommended storage conditions.

Possibility of hazardous reactions:       No dangerous reactions known.

Conditions to avoid:       Avoid humidity. Protect from moisture.

Incompatible Materials:       Alcohols. acids Oxidizing agents. humid air and water

Hazardous Decomposition Products:       Ethanol in case of hydrolysis Alcohol formed by hydrolysis lowers the flash point of the product.

Disposal considerations

Disposal methods:       With respect to local regulations, e.g. dispose of to suitable waste incineration plant.

Contaminated Packaging:       Do not reuse empty containers and dispose of in accordance with the regulations issued by the appropriate local authorities. If there is product residue in the emptied container, follow directions for handling on the container's label. Incorrect disposal or reuse of this container is illegal and can be dangerous. Other countries: observe the national regulations.
