Guidance on Safe Use

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 stabilized position 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.

Ingestion:

Rinse out mouth.

Immediately give large quantities of water to drink.

Consult a physician immediately.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed:

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed:

After accidental absorption in the body, the pathology and clinical findings are dependent on the kinetics of the noxious substance (quantity of absorbed substance, the absorption time, and the effectiveness of early elimination measures (first aid)/excretion - metabolism).

Continue with first aid measures.

Depending on the pathology and clinical findings, patient monitoring and symptomatic treatment are necessary.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media:

Foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide (CO2)

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:

May be released in case of fire:

Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides (NOx), hydrocyanic acid, ammonia

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters:

In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

Full protective suit.

Advice for firefighters:

In case of fire, remove the endangered containers and bring to a safe place, if this can be done safely.

Contaminated extinguishing water must be treated at a suitable disposal plant in accordance with waste management laws.

Keep out unprotected persons.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

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.

Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with the regulations.

Waste to be packed like clean product and to be marked.

Identification label on packages not to be removed until recycling.

Handling and storage

Handling:

Precautions for safe handling:
