First-aid measures
- General advice:
Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves.
- Following inhalation:
Move to fresh air. Call a physician if symptoms develop or persist.
- Following skin contact:
Remove contaminated clothing. Wash with plenty of soap and water. If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
- Following eye contact:
Rinse with water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.
- Following ingestion:
Rinse mouth. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
- Most important symptoms and effects: Skin irritation. May cause redness and pain.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed: Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically. Keep victim under observation. Symptoms may be delayed.
Fire-fighting measures
General fire hazards: No unusual fire or explosion hazards noted.
- Suitable extinguishing media:
Water fog. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2).
- Unsuitable extinguishing media:
Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.
- Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:
During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed.
- Advice for fire fighter:
Special protective equipment for firefighters: Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.
Special fire fighting procedures: Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk.
Specific methods: Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials.
Accidental release measures
- Personal precautions:
For non-emergency personnel: Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ensure adequate ventilation. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained.
For emergency responders: Keep unnecessary personnel away. See below information on personal protective equipment.
- Protective equipment and emergency procedures:
See below information on personnel protective equipment and emergency procedures.
- Environmental precautions:
Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.
- Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is possible. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth and place into containers. Following product recovery, flush area with water.
Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination.
Handling and storage
- Precautions for safe handling:
Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Observe good industrial hygiene practices.
- Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Store in original tightly closed container. Store away from incompatible materials. Store tightly sealed under inert gas in a cool, well-ventilated area.

Exposure controls / personal protection
1. Technical protection measures
Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Eye wash fountain and emergency showers are recommended.
2. Organisational protection measures
Use personal protective equipment as required. Personal protective equipment should be chosen according to the CEN standards and in discussion with the supplier of the personal protective equipment. Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary. Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants. Environmental manager must be informed of all major releases.
3. Hand protection
Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. Select suitable chemical resistant protective gloves (EN 374) with a protective index 6 (>480min permeation time).
4. Feet protection
Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing.
5. Body protection
Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing. Use of an impervious apron is recommended.
6. Eye protection
Face shield is recommended. Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).
7. Respiratory protection
In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.
Stability and reactivity
1. Reactivity
The product is stable and non-reactive under normal conditions of use, storage and transport.
2. Chemical stability
Material is stable under normal conditions.
3. Possibility of hazardous reactions
No dangerous reaction known under conditions of normal use.
4. Conditions to avoid
Contact with incompatible materials.
5. Incompatible materials
Strong oxidizing agents.
6. Hazardous decomposition products
No hazardous decomposition products are known.
Disposal considerations
Waste treatment methods/Residual waste: Dispose of in accordance with local regulations. Empty containers or liners may retain some product residues. This material and its container must be disposed of in a safe manner.
Contaminated packaging: Since emptied containers may retain product residue, follow label warnings even after container is emptied. Empty containers should be taken to an approved waste handling site for recycling or disposal.
EU waste code: The Waste code should be assigned in discussion between the user, the producer and the waste disposal company.
Disposal methods/information: Collect and reclaim or dispose in sealed containers at licensed waste disposal site. Dispose of contents/container in accordance with local/regional/national/international regulations.
Special precautions: Dispose in accordance with all applicable regulations.
