Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

- After inhalation:

Remove to fresh air. Keep patient warm and at rest.

Call a physican immedioatley.

- After skin contact:

Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. Wash off immediately with soap and

plenty of water. If symptoms persist, call a physician.

- After eye contact:

In case of eye contact, remove contact lens and rinse immediately with plenty of water, also

under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician or poison control center immediately.

- After swallowing

Rinse mouth. Call a physician or poison control center immediately.

Fire-fighting measures

- Suitable extinguishing agents:

Water spray

Carbon dioxide (CO2)

Foam

Sand

- Special hazards caused by the material, its products of combustion or resulting gases:

In the event of fire the following can be released:

Carbon monoxide (CO)

Hydrogen chloride (HCl)

Hydrogen cyanide (hydrocyanic acid)

Sulphur oxides (SOx)

Nitrogen oxides (NOx)

- Protective equipment:

In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes.

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

- Additional information:

Contain the spread of the fire-fighting media.

Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses

Accidental release measures

- Person-related safety precautions:

Avoid contact with spilled product or contaminated surfaces.

Remove all sources of ignition.

Use personal protective equipment.

- Measures for environmental protection:

Do not allow to get into surface water, drains and ground water.

- Measures for cleaning/collecting:

Use mechanical handling equipment.

Clean contaminated floors and objects thoroughly, observing environmental regulations.

Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.

Handling and storage

Manufacture and use takes place under strictly controlled conditions. The substance

is rigorously contained (production, use), appropriate risk management measures are

applied and a management system is in place. An authorisation scheme covers the

process and a procedure ensures that only trained and authorised persons handle

the substance. Process procedures for containment during cleaning and

maintenance have been accounted for in plant and engineering design as

appropriate for the site. Procedures to ensure containment have been applied for all

stages of production and processing. Occupational procedures have been assessed

and are documented.

Personal precautions while handling the product:

- respiratory protection:

Wear compressed air respirator with continuous air supply

conforming to EN270 or EN139 or equivalent or a particle filter mask

(protection factor 40) conforming to EN136P3 or equivalent.

Respiratory protection should only be used to control residual risk of

short duration activities, when all reasonably practicable steps have

been taken to reduce exposure at source e.g. containment and/or

local extract ventilation. Always follow respirator manufacturer's

instructions regarding wearing and maintenance.

- eye protection:

Wear goggles conforming to EN166 (Field of Use 5 or equivalent).

- hand/skin/body protection:

Wear CE Marked (or equivalent) nitrile rubber gloves (minimum

thickness 0,40 mm). Wash when contaminated. Dispose of when

contaminated inside, when perforated or when contamination

outside cannot be removed. Wash hands always before eating,

drinking, smoking or using the toilet.

Wear standard coverall and type 5 suit.

Wear two layers of clothing wherever possible. Polyester/cotton or

cotton overalls should be worn under chemical protection suit and

should be professionally laundered frequently.

- Hygene measures:

Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.

Keep working clothes separately.

Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling the product.

Remove soiled clothing immediately and clean thoroughly before using again.

Garments that cannot be cleaned must be destroyed (burnt).

- Advice on safe handling:

Use only in area provided with appropriate exhaust ventilation.

- Advice on protection against fire and explosion:

Dust may form explosive mixtures with air.

Keep away from heat and sources of ignition.

Reacts with water under formation of hazardous gases.

Disposal considerations

Dispose in accordance with the local regulations-

Waste air from the process is being burnt.

Solvents are recycled or burned.

Mother liquors and organic waste is being burnt.

Aqueous waste is transferred to the sites WWTP or burnt.
