First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

In case of unconsciousness place patient stably in side position for transportation. Supply fresh air. If required, provide artificial respiration. Keep patient warm. Seek immediate medical advice.

Skin contact

Immediately wash with water and soap and rinse thoroughly. Seek immediate medical advice.

Eye contact

Rinse opened eye for several minutes under running water. Then consult a doctor.

Ingestion

Drink lots of water or milk. Induce vomiting if patient is conscious. Administer a solution of sodium carbonate.

Immediate Medical Attention

Seek immediate medical advice.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Water. Use carbon dioxide, extinguishing powder or foam. Water may be ineffective but may be used for cooling exposed containers.

Unsuitable media

Halocarbon extinguisher

Specific hazards

Promotes fire. In certain fire conditions, traces of other toxic gases cannot be excluded. This substance is an oxidizer and its heat of reaction with reducing agents or combustibles may cause ignition.

Firefighter Protection

Wear self-contained respirator. Wear fully protective impervious suit.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Remove persons from danger area.

Environmental

Do not allow material to be released to the environment without proper governmental permits.

Cleanup methods

Pick up mechanically.

07

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Handle with care. Avoid jolting, friction and impact. Keep container tightly sealed. Open and handle container with care.

Storage

Store in cool, dry place in tightly closed containers. Keep away from heat and direct sunlight.

Fire prevention

Prevent impact and friction. Substance/product can reduce the ignition temperature of flammable substances. This substance is an oxidizer and its heat of reaction with reducing agents or combustibles may cause ignition.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Properly operating chemical fume hood designed for hazardous chemicals and having an average face velocity of at least 100 feet per minute.

Hands

Impervious gloves. Check protective gloves prior to each use for their proper condition. The selection of suitable gloves not only depends on the material, but also on quality. Quality will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Material of gloves: Nitrile rubber, NBR. Penetration time of glove material (in minutes) 480. Glove thickness: 0.11 mm

Eyes

Safety glasses with side shields / NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU)

Respiratory

Use suitable respirator when high concentrations are present. Recommended filter device for short term use: Use a respirator with type P100 (USA) or P3 (EN 143) cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. Risk assessment should be performed to determine if air-purifying respirators are appropriate. Only use equipment tested and approved under appropriate government standards.
