First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
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.
Immediately wash with water and soap and rinse thoroughly. Seek immediate medical advice.
Rinse opened eye for several minutes under running water. Then consult a doctor.
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.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Water. Use carbon dioxide, extinguishing powder or foam. Water may be ineffective but may be used for cooling exposed containers.
Halocarbon extinguisher
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.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Remove persons from danger area.
Do not allow material to be released to the environment without proper governmental permits.
Pick up mechanically.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Handle with care. Avoid jolting, friction and impact. Keep container tightly sealed. Open and handle container with care.
Store in cool, dry place in tightly closed containers. Keep away from heat and direct sunlight.
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.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Properly operating chemical fume hood designed for hazardous chemicals and having an average face velocity of at least 100 feet per minute.
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
Safety glasses with side shields / NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU)
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.
