Administrative data

First-aid measures

Inhalation: Consult a physician. Move to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen.
Skin contact: Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician.
Ingestion: Call a physician immediately. Do not induce vomiting without medical advice. Drink 1 or 2 glasses of water.
Eye contact: Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media: water spray, use dry chemical, CO2, "alcohol"-resistant foam.
Special protective equipment for firefighters: In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Unsuitable extinguishing media for safety reasons: water jet
Specific hazards: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrous gases
Further information: Collect contaminated extinguishing water separately, do not allow to reach sewage or effluent systems.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions: Use personal protective equipment. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Remove all sources of ignition.
Avoid dust formation. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Environmental precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Prevent product from entering drains. Do not flush into
surface water or sanitary sewer system. Do not let product enter drains.
Methods for cleaning up: Never return spills in original containers for re-use. Soak up with oil absorbent material. Neutralize
corrosive material prior to cleaning. Sweep up or vacuum (if powder) or soak up with inert absorbent
material (if liquid), then place into a suitable clean, dry, closed container, and label for disposal.

Handling and storage

Handling: Ensure thorough ventilation of stores and work areas.

Protection against fire and explosion: The product is combustible. Prevent electrostatic charge - sources of ignition should be kept well clear - fire extinguishers should be kept handy.

Storage: Segregate from acids and acid forming substances.
Further information on storage conditions: Avoid extreme heat. Keep container tightly closed and in a well-ventilated place. Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Respiratory protection: Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face respirator with
multi-purpose combination (US) or type ABEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole
means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government
standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).

Hand protection: Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique (without touching glove's outer
surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory
practices. Wash and dry hands.
The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.

Eye protection: Tightly fitting safety goggles. Faceshield (8-inch minimum). Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).

Skin and body protection: Complete suit protecting against chemicals, The type of protective equipment must be selected according
to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.

Hygiene measures: Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday

Stability and reactivity

Chemical stability: Absorbs carbon dioxide (CO2) from air. Stable under recommended storage conditions.
Conditions to avoid: Exposure to moisture. Heat, flames and sparks.
Materials to avoid: Iron, Oxidizing agents, Copper
Hazardous decomposition products: Hazardous decomposition products formed under fire conditions. - Carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides (NOx)

Disposal considerations

Product: Contact a licensed professional waste disposal service to dispose of this material. This combustible material may be burned in a chemical
incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber. Offer surplus and nonrecyclable solutions to a licensed disposal company.
Contaminated packaging: Dispose of as unused product.
