Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
🫁 Inhalation Exposure
Remove the casualty into fresh air and keep him immobile. In case of breathing difficulties give oxygen. In the event of pulmonary irritation treat initially with corticoid spray, e.g. Ventolair- or Pulmicort- metered-dose aerosol. Seek medical treatment immediately. In case of respiratory standstill give artificial respiration by respiratory bag (Ambu bag) or respirator. Send for a doctor.
Symptoms:
Respiratory tract irritation, coughing, shortness of breath.
🖐️ Skin Contact
In case of contact with skin wash off immediately with soap and water. In case of frostbite spray with lukewarm (not hot) water for at least 15 minutes. Do not remove clothing frozen to the skin. Thaw it with lukewarm water. Apply a sterile dressing. Obtain medical assistance. Seek medical treatment immediately.
Symptoms:
Contact with liquid may cause cold burns/frostbite.
👁️ Eye Contact
Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Call for a doctor immediately.
Symptoms:
Strong eye irritation.
🍽️ Ingestion/Swallowing
Ingestion is not considered a potential route of exposure.
🚨 Immediate Medical Attention Required
If necessary, give oxygen. Pulmonary oedema prophylaxis. Monitor circulation.
Fire Fighting Measures & Emergency Response
Fire suppression methods, extinguishing media, and firefighting safety procedures
✅ Suitable Extinguishing Media
Foam, Dry powder, Carbon dioxide, Water spray jet
❌ Unsuitable Extinguishing Media
Full water jet
⚠️ Specific Fire Hazards
In the event of fire the following can be released: Carbon monoxide (CO), Carbon dioxide (CO2), Hydrogen chloride (HCl), Chlorine (Cl2)
🔥 Fire Fighting Instructions
Cool endangered containers with water spray jet. Exposure to fire may cause containers to rupture / explode.
🛡️ Firefighter Protection Equipment
Use breathing apparatus with independent air supply (isolated). Wear full protective clothing.
Accidental Release Measures & Spill Response
Emergency spill cleanup procedures, containment methods, and environmental protection
🚨 Emergency Procedures
Remove persons to safety. Personal protection by wearing close-fitting protective clothing and breathing apparatus.
🌍 Environmental Precautions
Collect contaminated water / firefighting water separately. Do not discharge into the drains/surface waters/groundwater. Prevent spread over a wide area (e.g. by containment or oil barriers). Prevent from entering sewers, basements and workpits, or any place where its accumulation can be dangerous. If necessary, secure leaky pressure receptacles in a salvage packaging. Suppress gases/vapours/mists with water spray jet.
🧹 Cleanup Methods

Safe Handling & Storage Procedures
Industrial handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace safety requirements
⚠️ Handling Precautions
• Use only in thoroughly ventilated areas.
• Transfer and handle only in enclosed systems.
• Containers' temperature may not be increased above 50 ℃.
• Do not heat with open flames.
• The working pressure in the receptacle must not exceed the saturation vapour pressure of the pure product resulting at a temperature of 50 ℃.
• Provide good room ventilation even at ground level (vapours are heavier than air).
• Prevent cylinders from falling over.
• Ensure valve outlet cap nut or plug is correctly fitted.
• Ensure valve protection device is correctly fitted.
• Open valve slowly to avoid pressure shock.
• Use only properly specified equipment which is suitable for this product, its supply pressure and temperature.
• Do not allow backfeed into the container.
• Suck back of water into the container must be prevented.
• No water to valves, flanges and other fittings.
• Purging of pipes and valves with inert gases - to avoid: water, solvents.
🏪 Storage Conditions
• Keep in closed original container.
• Ventilate store-rooms thoroughly.
• Only use containers that are approved specifically for the substance/product.
• Suitable materials: Normalised carbon steel, tempered alloy steel, austenitic stainless steels.
• Valve: Suitable materials: Brass, copper alloys, carbon steels, austenitic stainless steels.
• Other material details see ISO 11114.
• All regulations and local requirements for the storage of containers have to be respected.
• Unsuitable materials: Aluminium alloys.
