In case of Ingestion: Do not under any circumstances induce vomiting. OBTAIN A MEDICAL EXAMINATION IMMEDIATELY.

In case of Inhalation: Remove casualty to fresh air and keep warm and at rest.

- Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

Methaemoglobinaemia

Allergic reactions

- Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

In case of accident or unwellness, seek medical advice immediately (show directions for use or safety data sheet if possible).

Treatment: Treat symptomatically.

Fire-fighting measures

- Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media: Water spray, carbon dioxide (CO2), foam and dry chemical powder.

Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons: Direct water jet.

- Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Do not inhale explosion and combustion gases.

Burning produces heavy smoke.

Products of combustion include carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx).

- Advice for firefighters

Use suitable breathing apparatus .

Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This must not be discharged into drains.

Move undamaged containers from immediate hazard area if it can be done safely.

Accidental release measures

- Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Wear personal protection equipment.

Remove all sources of ignition.

Remove persons to safety.

- Environmental precautions

Do not allow to enter into soil/subsoil. Do not allow to enter into surface water or drains.

Retain contaminated washing water and dispose it.

In case of gas escape or of entry into waterways, soil or drains, inform the responsible authorities.

Suitable material for taking up: absorbing material, organic, sand

- Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Wash with plenty of water.

Handling and storage

- Precautions for safe handling

Avoid contact with skin and eyes, inhalation of vapours and mists.

Don't use empty container before they have been cleaned.

Before making transfer operations, assure that there aren't any incompatible material residuals in the containers.

Contamined clothing should be changed before entering eating areas.

Do not eat or drink while working.

- Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Ventilate where the product is stored and manipulated.

Store container in a well ventilated position.

Store in a dry area.

Store in a cool place.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Eye protection: Safety glasses with side protection for chemicals (EN166). Work according to good work practices.

Protection for skin: Use clothing that provides a full protection to the skin.

Protection for hands: Use protective gloves according to EN 374 standards, on the base of the intended use (penetration and permeation). Suitable material: NBR (nitrile rubber), NR (natural rubber, natural latex).

Respiratory protection: Provide an adequate ventilation. It must be ensured a good ventilation and good general ventilarion exchange system. For normal use is not required respiratory protection. If necessary: Filtering Half-face mask (DIN EN 149) with filter "P", white colour.

Thermal Hazards: No hazardous decomposition products known at room temperature.

Environmental exposure controls: No special environmental precautions required.

Appropriate engineering controls: None
