First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Remove affected person from source of contamination. Move affected person to fresh air and keep warm and at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Rinse nose and mouth with water. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues.

Skin contact

Remove affected person from source of contamination. Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Get medical attention promptly if symptoms occur after washing.

Eye contact

Remove any contact lenses and open eyelids wide apart. Promptly wash eyes with plenty of water while lifting the eye lids. Continue to rinse for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues.

Symptoms: May cause temporary eye irritation.

Ingestion

Do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Give plenty of water to drink. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues.

Immediate Medical Attention

Get medical attention if any discomfort continues (for inhalation, ingestion, eye contact). Get medical attention promptly if symptoms occur after washing (for skin contact).

Medical Treatment

No specific recommendations. Treat symptomatically.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Extinguish with alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide, dry powder or water fog.

Unsuitable media

Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.

Specific hazards

When heated, vapours/gases hazardous to health may be formed.

Instructions

No action shall be taken without appropriate training or involving any personal risk. Cool containers exposed to heat with water spray and remove them from the fire area if it can be done without risk.

Firefighter Protection

Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and appropriate protective clothing.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

No action shall be taken without appropriate training or involving any personal risk. Absorb spillage with inert, damp, non-combustible material. Follow precautions for safe handling described in this safety data sheet. Collect and place in suitable waste disposal containers and seal securely. Avoid generation and spreading of dust. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel away from the spillage. Provide adequate ventilation. Avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin and eyes. Do not touch or walk into spilled material.

Environmental

Avoid the spillage or runoff entering drains, sewers or watercourses. Spillages or uncontrolled discharges into watercourses must be reported immediately to the Environmental Agency or other appropriate regulatory body.

Cleanup methods

Remove spillage with vacuum cleaner or collect with a shovel and broom, or similar. Collect and place in suitable waste disposal containers and seal securely. Flush contaminated area with plenty of water.

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Handle all packages and containers carefully to minimise spills. Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet. Provide adequate ventilation. Avoid generation and spreading of dust. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin and eyes.

Storage

Store in tightly-closed, original container in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Avoid excessive heat for prolonged periods of time. Protect from moisture.

Hygiene

Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Wash at the end of each work shift and before eating, smoking and using the toilet. Wash hands and any other contaminated areas of the body with soap and water before leaving the work site. Provide eyewash station and safety shower.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Provide adequate ventilation. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls as the primary means to minimise worker exposure. Avoid inhalation of vapours and contact with skin and eyes. Provide eyewash station and safety shower.

Hands

The most suitable glove should be chosen in consultation with the glove supplier/manufacturer, who can provide information about the breakthrough time of the glove material. The selected gloves should have a breakthrough time of at least 8 hours. Rubber (natural, latex). Thickness: > 0.6 mm To protect hands from chemicals, gloves should comply with European Standard EN374.

Eyes

Eyewear complying with an approved standard should be worn if a risk assessment indicates eye contact is possible. The following protection should be worn: Tight-fitting safety glasses. Personal protective equipment for eye and face protection should comply with European Standard EN166.

Respiratory

Respiratory protection complying with an approved standard should be worn if a risk assessment indicates inhalation of contaminants is possible. Protection against nuisance dust must be used when the airborne concentration exceeds 10 mg/m3. Ensure all respiratory protective equipment is suitable for its intended use and is ‘CE’-marked. If ventilation is inadequate, suitable respiratory protection must be worn. Wear a respirator fitted with the following cartridge: Particulate filter, type P2.

Skin/Body

Wear appropriate clothing to prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact.
