First-aid measures
If contaminated seek medical advice immediately. Ensure that the First Aid Personnel are aware of the product involved, and take precautions to protect themselves (e.g. wear personal protection equipment). Remove affected person from danger area, lay him down. Remove soiled or soaked clothing immediately. Keep warm, calm and covered up.
If inhaled : Remove the casualty into fresh air and keep him calm.
In case of skin contact : In case of contact with skin wash off immediately with soap and with plenty of water.
In case of eye contact : In case of contact with the eyes rinse thoroughly with plenty of water or with an eye-cleaning solution.
If swallowed : Drink water. Seek medical aid immediately and show the physician the packaging or the label of the packaging.
Do NOT induce vomiting.
Symptoms : Causes severe caustic burns to skin and eyes.
For physicians: Substance is strongly acidic. If swallowed or on skin, neutralize with anti acidic medicals. Elementary aid, decontamination and symptomatic treatment.

Fire-fighting measures
The substance itself is not flamable. Firefighting measures should be adjusted to the environment
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture in case of heavy fires: hazardous combustion gases may be formed, like Carbon monoxide (CO), Carbon dioxide (CO2), phosphorus oxides. Under certain conditions of combustion traces of other toxic substances cannot be excluded.
Special protective equipment for firefighters: Do not inhale explosion and/or combustion gases, use self-contained breathing apparatus
Avoid skin or eye contact.
Further information : Fire residues and contaminated firefighting water should be collected and treated or disposed of in accordance with the local regulations.

Accidental release measures
Personal precautions : Acid-resistant protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. In case of major spillage or high contamination risk wear acid resistant chemical protection suit. In case of handling the product as a hot melt, take care for hot surfaces and wear additional heat-protection gloves.
Environmental precautions : Do not allow entry to drains, water courses or soil. Contain contaminated water/firefighting water.
Methods for cleaning up : Contain spillage, pick up with an electrically protected vacuum cleaner or by wet-brushing and transfer to a container for
disposal according to local regulations (see section 13). In case of spillage of hot melt, let cool down and collect manually. Small residual amounts can be washed away with plenty of water if waste water is collected and treated in STP.

Handling and storage
This substance should be handled under Strictly Controlled Conditions in accordance with REACH regulation Article 17(3) for on-site isolated intermediates and, in case the substance is transported to other sites for further processing, the substance should be handled at these sites under the Strictly Controlled Conditions as specified in REACH regulation Article 18(4). Site documentation to support safe handling arrangements including the selection of engineering, administrative and personal protective equipment controls in accordance with risk-based management systems should be available at each manufacturing and use site. Written confirmation of application of Strictly Controlled Conditions should be requested from any affected distributor and downstream user of the registrant's intermediate.
Avoid the formation and deposition of dust. Provide exhaust ventilation, if dust is formed.
Keep container tightly closed in a well-ventilated place. Protect from heat and direct sunlight.
Do not store or transport together with foodstuffs

Exposure controls / personal protection
This substance should be handled under Strictly Controlled Conditions in accordance with REACH regulation Article 17(3) for on-site isolated intermediates and, in case the substance is transported to other sites for further processing, the substance should be handled at these sites under the Strictly Controlled Conditions as specified in REACH regulation Article 18(4). Site documentation to support safe handling arrangements including the selection of engineering, administrative and personal protective equipment controls in accordance with risk-based management systems should be available at each manufacturing and use site.
Handle substance with care. Do not inhale dust. Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
Respiratory protection : If exposure to dust can not be excluded, wear dust mask. Use respiratory protection in case of insufficient exhaust ventilation or prolonged exposure.
Hand protection : Nitril-, Butyl- and PVC-gloves are suitable. Because the specification of that kind of gloves vary with the manufacturer please refer to the specification of the manufacturer to assure resistance.
Eye protection : tightly fitting safety glasses
In case of possible exposure use acid-resistant protective clothing.
Do not eat, drink or smoke during work time. Remove soiled or soaked clothing immediately and clean thoroughly before using again. Garments that cannot be cleaned must be destroyed (burnt). Keep away from foodstuffs and beverages. Clean hands and face during work intervals and after work.
In case of accidental release or fire, do not allow entry to drains, water courses or soil. Contain contaminated water/firefighting water.
