Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
The symptoms resulting from intoxication can appear after exposure, therefore, in case of doubt, seek medical attention for direct exposure to the chemical substance or persistent discomfort, showing the SDS of the product.
By inhalation: this product does not contain substances classified as hazardous for inhalation, however, in case of symptoms of intoxication remove the person affected from the exposure area and provide with fresh air. Seek medical attention if the symptoms get worse or persist.
By skin contact: in case the skin is affected (stinging, redness, rashes, blisters,...), seek medical help with the Safety Data Form.
By eye contact: rinse eyes thoroughly with lukewarm water for at least 15 minutes. Do not allow the person affected to rub or close their eyes. If the injured person uses contact lenses, these should be removed unless they are stuck to the eyes, in which case this could cause further damage. In all cases, after cleaning, a doctor should be consulted as quickly as possible with the SDS of the product.
By ingestion/aspiration: in case of consumption, seek immediate medical assistance showing the SDS for the substance.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed: non-applicable
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media: Product is non-flammable under normal conditions of storage, handling and use. In the case of combustion as a result of improper handling, storage or use preferably use polyvalent powder extinguishers (ABC powder), in accordance with the Regulation on fire protection systems. IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED to use tap water as an extinguishing agent.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture: as a result of combustion or thermal decomposition reactive sub-products are created that can become highly toxic and, consequently, can present a serious health risk.
Advice for firefighters: depending on the magnitude of the fire it may be necessary to use full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Minimum emergency facilities and equipment should be available (fire blankets, portable first aid kit,...) in accordance with Directive 89/654/EC.
Additional provisions: act in accordance with the Internal Emergency Plan and the Information Sheets on actions to take after an accident or other emergencies. Eliminate all sources of ignition. In case of fire, cool the storage containers and tanks for products susceptible to combustion, explosion or BLEVE as a result of high temperatures. Avoid spillage of the products used to extinguish the fire into an aqueous medium.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: isolate leaks provided that there is no additional risk for the people performing this task. Personal protection equipment must be used against potential contact with the spilt product. Evacuate the area and keep out those who do not have protection.
Environmental precautions: this product is not classified as hazardous to the environment. Keep product away from drains, surface and ground water.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: it is recommended: absorb the spillage using sand or inert absorbent and move it to a safe place. Do not absorb in sawdust or other combustible absorbents.
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling:
A.- Precautions for safe manipulation
Comply with the current legislation concerning the prevention of industrial risks. Keep containers hermetically sealed. Control spills and residues, destroying them with safe methods. Avoid leakages from the container. Maintain order and cleanliness where dangerous products are used.
B.- Technical recommendations for the prevention of fires and explosions
Product is non-flammable under normal conditions of storage, handling and use. It is recommended to transfer at slow speeds to avoid the generation of electrostatic charges that can affect flammable products.
C.-Technical recommendations to prevent ergonomic and toxicological risks
Do not eat or drink during the process, washing hands afterwards with suitable cleaning products.
D.- Technical recommendations to prevent environmental risks
It is recommended to have absorbent material available at close proximity to the product
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: to be stored in a cool, dry and ventilated location. Avoid extremes of temperature. Store in original container. Respect general rules for compatibility storage. Avoid sources of heat, radiation, static electricity and contact with food.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Control parameters: substances whose occupational exposure limits have to be monitored in the workplace. There are no occupational exposure limits for the substances contained in the product
DNEL (Workers): Non-applicable; DNEL (General population): Non-applicable; PNEC: Non-applicable
Exposure controls:
A.- General security and hygiene measures in the work place
As a preventative measure it is recommended to use basic Personal Protective Equipment, with the corresponding <<CE marking>> in accordance with Directive 89/686/EC. For more information on Personal Protective Equipment (storage, use, cleaning, maintenance, class of protection,…) consult the information leaflet provided by the manufacturer. All information contained herein is a recommendation which needs some specification from the labour risk prevention services as it is not known whether the company has additional measures at its disposal.
B.- Respiratory protection
The use of protection equipment will be necessary if a mist forms or if the occupational exposure limits are exceeded.
C.- Specific protection for the hands
Non-applicable
D.- Ocular and facial protection
PPE: Panoramic glasses against splash/projections- Clean daily and disinfect periodically according to the manufacturer´s instructions. Use if there is a risk of splashing.
E.- Body protection
PPE- Work clothing: Replace before any evidence of deterioration. For periods of prolonged exposure to the product for professional/industrial users CE III is recommended, in accordance with the regulations in EN ISO 6529:2001, EN ISO 6530:2005, EN ISO 13688:2013, EN 464:1994.
