Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

4.1 Description of first-aid measures

If inhaled : Move person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call an
emergency responder or ambulance, then give artificial respiration; if by mouth to mouth use rescuer protection (pocketmask etc). Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment
advice.
In case of skin contact : Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with
plenty of water for 15-20 minutes. Call a poison control center
or doctor for treatment advice.
In case of eye contact : Hold eyes open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-
20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5
minutes, then continue rinsing eyes. Call a poison control
center or doctor for treatment advice.
Suitable emergency eye wash facility should be immediately
available.
If swallowed : Call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice. Have person sip a glass of water if able to swallow. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by the poison
control center or doctor

4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
None known.
4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Treatment : Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of
symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient.
No specific antidote.
Maintain adequate ventilation and oxygenation of the patient.
Have the Safety Data Sheet, and if available, the product container or label with you when calling a poison control center or
doctor, or going for treatment

Fire-fighting measures

5.1 Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media : Water spray
Alcohol-resistant foam
Unsuitable extinguishing media: None known.
5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Specific hazards during firefighting: Exposure to combustion products may be a hazard to health.
Hazardous combustion products: Nitrogen oxides (NOx)Carbon oxides
5.3 Advice for firefighters
Special protective equipmentfor fire-fighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary. Use personal protective equipment.
Specific extinguishing methods: Remove undamaged containers from fire area if it is safe to do so. Evacuate area.
Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.
Use water spray to cool unopened containers.
Further information : Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must
be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.

Accidental release measures

6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Personal precautions : Use personal protective equipment.
Use appropriate safety equipment. For additional information,
refer to Section 8, Exposure Controls and Personal Protection.

6.2 Environmental precautions
Environmental precautions : If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform
respective authorities. Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
Prevent spreading over a wide area (e.g., by containment or oil barriers).
Retain and dispose of contaminated wash water.
Local authorities should be advised if significant spillagescannot be contained.

6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Methods for cleaning up : Clean up remaining materials from spill with suitable absorbant.
Local or national regulations may apply to releases and disposal of this material, as well as those materials and items employed in.
For large spills, provide dyking or other appropriate containment to keep material from spreading. If dyked material can be pumped, Recovered material should be stored in a vented container.
The vent must prevent the ingress of water as further reaction
with spilled materials can take place which could lead to overpressurization of the container.
Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.
Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece).
Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel,
acid binder, universal binder, sawdust).
See Section 13, Disposal Considerations, for additional information.

Handling and storage

7.1 Precautions for safe handling
Advice on safe handling : Do not breathe vapors/dust.
Do not smoke.
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety
practice.
Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in the application area.
Do not get in eyes.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin.
Take care to prevent spills, waste and minimize release to the environment.
Use appropriate safety equipment. For additional information,
refer to Section 8, Exposure Controls and Personal Protection.

7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Requirements for storage
areas and containers: Store in a closed container. Keep in properly labeled containers. Store in accordance with the particular national regulations.
Advice on common storage : Strong oxidizing agents
Packaging material : Unsuitable material: None known.

Exposure controls / personal protection

8.1 Control parameters Contains no substances with occupational exposure limit values.

8.2 Exposure controls Engineering measures Exhaust systems should be designed to move the air away from the source of vapor/aerosol generation and people working at this point. Lethal concentrations may exist in areas with poor ventilation. Use engineering controls to maintain airborne level below exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or guidelines, use only in enclosed systems or with local exhaust ventilation. 

Personal protective equipment
Eye protection : Use chemical goggles.
                       Chemical goggles should be consistent with EN 166 or equivalent.
Hand protection:
                    Material : Nitrile rubber
                    Break through time : > 30 min
                    Protective index : Class 2
Remarks : Use chemical resistant gloves classified under Standard EN374: Protective gloves  against chemicals and microorganisms. Specific properties   of gloves such as length,thickness and material barrier shall be adapted to the specific product nature and task. For manufacturing processes refer to site local occupational health guidance and procedures, for
farmer use refer to labels and/or gloves manufacturer’s, supplier’s recommendations.
Skin and body protection : Use protective clothing chemically resistant to this material.
Selection of specific items such as face shield, boots, apron,
or full body suit will depend on the task. For manufacturing processes full body protection suit type 5,class of 5 (breakthrough time greater than 240 minutes according to EN 13982-2) is recommended.For farmer use full body protection suit type 4, class of 6
(breakthrough time greater than 480 minutes according to EN14605) is recommended
Respiratory protection : Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to                                         inhale dust, vapours, mist or spray In confined or poorly ventilated   areas, use an approved selfcontained breathing apparatus or positive pressure air line with auxiliary self-contained air supply. For manufacturing processes filtering half-mask FFP3 (meeting standard EN 149) is recommended.For farmer use combined organic vapor cartridge with a particulate pre-filter, type A2P3 (minimum breakthrough time of
35 minutes meeting standard EN 14387+A1) is recommended.
