First-aid measures
INHALATION:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
SKIN CONTACT:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
EYE CONTACT:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
INGESTION:
Get medical aid. Wash mouth out with water.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Fire-fighting measures
GENERAL INFORMATION:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Contact with other material may cause fire.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
Use water only!
Accidental release measures
GENERAL INFORMATION:
Use proper personal protective equipment:
EYES:
Wear chemical splash goggles.
SKIN:
Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin exposure.
CLOTHING:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin exposure.
RESPIRATORS.
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced.
SPILLS/LEAKS:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal container. Do not let this chemical enter the environment
Handling and storage
HANDLING:
Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid breathing dust, vapor, mist or gas. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Use only in a chemical fume hood.

Exposure controls / personal protection
EXPOSURE LIMITS:
No data available.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling the product. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.
1) Respiratory Protection:
In the case of vapour or aerosol formation use a respirator with an approved filter. Recommended respirator types:
- Respirator with a vapour filter (EN 141)
- Respirator with ABEK filter
2) Hand protection:
- Suitable material : Nitrile rubber or neoprene
- Break through time : > 480 min
Take note of the information given by the producer concerning permeability and break through times, and of special workplace conditions (mechanical strain, duration of contact).
3) Eye protection:
Tightly fitting chjemical safety goggles or face shield with safety glasses.
4) Skin and body protection:
Choose appropriate (partly to full) body protection according to the amount and concentration of the dangerous substance at the work place. A protective apron or suit such as polyethene tyvek or equivalent should be used to minimize exposure from splashes. No special protective equipment besides the one mentioned above required.
