First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration or give oxygen by trained personnel. Seek immediate medical attention.

Skin contact

Immediately wash skin with soap and plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Wash clothing before reuse. (P360)

Eye contact

Immediately flush with plenty of water. After initial flushing, remove and contact lenses and continue flushing for at least 15 minutes. Assure adequate flushing by separating the eyelids with fingers. (P338)

Ingestion

Call a physician or poison control center immediately. ONLY induce vomiting at the instructions of a physician. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

Immediate Medical Attention

Get medical assistance for all cases of overexposure. Seek immediate medical attention for inhalation. Call a physician or poison control center immediately for ingestion.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Use alcohol foam, carbon dioxide, or dry chemical when fighting fires involving this material.

Specific hazards

During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.

Firefighter Protection

As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus and appropriate Personal protection. Prevent contact with skin or eyes. Ventilate area. Avoid raising dust. Take up and containerize for proper disposal. Flush spill area with water. Comply with Federal, State, and local regulations.

Cleanup methods

Take up and containerize for proper disposal. Flush spill area with water.

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Do not breathe dust. (P260). Do not get in eyes, on skin or clothing. (P262). Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure. This product should only be used by persons trained in the safe handling of hazardous chemicals. (P202)

Storage

Store in a tightly closed container. (P404). Store in a cool dry place. (P235).

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Material should be handled or transferred in an approved fume hood or with adequate ventilation. Engineering and/or administrative controls should be implemented to reduce exposure.

Hands

Protective gloves must be worn to prevent skin contact. (P280) (Butyl, viton or equivalent)

Eyes

Use eye protection tested and approved under the appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166 (EU).

Respiratory

If workplace exposure limit(s) of product or any component is exceeded (see TLV/PEL), or a risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate, use of a NIOSH/MSHA approved air supplied respirator is advised. Use a full-face respirator with multi-purpose combination (US) or type ABEK (EN14387) respirator cartridges in absence of proper environmental control. Always use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
