First-aid measures

Description of first aid measures:
Pay attention to self-protection.
Remove victims from hazardous area.
Immediately remove soiled or soaked clothing and remove it to a safe distance. Keep victim warm, in a stabilizedposition and covered.
Do not leave victims unattended.
If the casualty is unconscious: Place the victim in the recovery position.

Inhalation:
Potential for exposure by inhalation if dusts or smoke are generated.
Move victims into fresh air.
With labored breathing: Provide with oxygen.
Consult a doctor.
If the casualty is not breathing: Perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, notify emergency physician immediately.

Skin contact:
Wash off affected area immediately with plenty of water.
Continue decontamination with polyethylene glycol 400 after initial rinsing with water and then wash with water and soap.
If symptoms persist, consult a physician for treatment.

Eye contact:
With eye held open, thoroughly rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 10 minutes.
Consult an ophthalmologist immediately if the symptoms persist.
When dealing with caustic substances, notify emergency physician immediately (key words: burns in eye).

Ingestion:
Rinse out mouth.
Immediately give large quantities of water to drink.
Consult a physician immediately.
When dealing with caustic substances, notify emergency physician immediately.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed:
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed:
The initial focus is only on the local action, possibly characterized by a progressive tissue irritation; caustic substances result in quickly progressing deep tissue damage.
In the eye, caustic dusts or smoke cause, depending on the intensity of exposure, severe irritation, destruction, and ablation of the epithelium of the conjunctiva and cornea,corneal clouding, edema and ulcerations.
Danger! Possible loss of eyesight!
Superficial irritations and damage up to ulcerations and scarring develop on the skin.
After accidental absorption in the body, the pathology and clinical findings are dependent on the kinetics of the substance (quantity of absorbed substance, the absorption time, and the effectiveness of early elimination measures (first aid)/ excretion - metabolism).
A specific action of the substance is unknown.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media:
Water spray, foam, CO2, dry powder.

Unsuitable extinguishing media:
Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:
In the case of fire, the following hazardous smoke fumes may be produced:
Carbon oxides, Nitrogen oxides (NOx)
Under certain fire conditions, traces of other toxic products may occur.

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters:
In case of fire: wear a self contained respiratory apparatus.
Full protective suit.

Advice for firefighters:
Contaminated extinguishing water must be treated at a suitable disposal plant in accordance with waste management laws.
In case of fire, remove the endangered containers and bring to a safe place, if this can be done safely.
Keep out unprotected persons.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
Avoid contact with the skin and the eyes.
Avoid breathing dust.
Wear personal protective equipment.
Keep unauthorized persons away.

Environmental precautions:
Prevent substance from entering soil, natural bodies of water and sewer systems.
If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:
Pick up mechanically and collect in a suitable container.
Avoid formation of dust.
To absorb spilled substance an approved industrial vacuum cleaner is recommended.
If necessary, the spilled substance should be moistened.
Waste to be packed like clean product and to be marked.
Identification label on packages not to be removed until recycling.
Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.
Disposal according to local authority regulations.

Handling and storage

Handling:
Precautions for safe handling:
Wear personal protective equipment.
Avoid residues of the product on the containers.

Storage:
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
Store in the original receptacle, keeping this tightly sealed, under cool and dry conditions.

Further information:
In the event of internal transportation, already-opened containers are to be kept closed in order to avoid spillage.
Secure container from falling down.

Advice on common storage:
No special precautions required.

German storage class:
Combustible / non-combustible liquids and solids not assigned to other storage classes.
