Get medical advice/attention immediately. Remove victim to fresh air, away from the accident scene. If the subject stops breathing, administer artificial respiration. Take suitable precautions for rescue workers.

Remove contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with a shower immediately. Get medical advice/attention.

Remove contact lenses, if present. Wash immediately with plenty of water for at least 30-60 minutes, opening the eyelids fully. Get medical advice/attention.

Have the subject drink as much water as possible. Get medical advice/attention. Do not induce vomiting unless explicitly authorised by a doctor.

carbon dioxide, foam, chemical powder. For product loss or leakage that has not caught fire, water spray can be used to disperse flammable vapours and protect those trying to stem the leak.

Do not use jets of water. Water is not effective for putting out fires but can be used to cool containers exposed to flames to prevent explosions.

Excess pressure may form in containers exposed to fire at a risk of explosion. Do not breathe combustion products.

Use jets of water to cool the containers to prevent product decomposition and the development of substances potentially hazardous for health.

Block the leakage if there is no hazard.

The product must not penetrate into the sewer system or come into contact with surface water or ground water.

Absorb the remainder with inert absorbent material.

Materials: inert absorbent material

Keep away from heat, sparks and naked flames; do not smoke or use matches or lighters. Vapours may catch fire and an explosion may occur; vapour accumulation is therefore to be avoided by leaving windows and doors open and ensuring good cross ventilation. Without adequate ventilation, vapours may accumulate at ground level and, if ignited, catch fire even at a distance, with the danger of backfire. Avoid bunching of electrostatic charges. When performing transfer operations involving large containers, connect to an earthing system and wear antistatic footwear. Vigorous stirring and flow through the tubes and equipment may cause the formation and accumulation of electrostatic charges. In order to avoid the risk of fires and explosions, never use compressed air when handling. Open containers with caution as they may be pressurised. Do not eat, drink or smoke during use. Avoid leakage of the product into the environment.

Store only in the original container. Store the containers sealed, in a well ventilated place, away from direct sunlight. Keep far away from sources of heat, naked flames and sparks and other sources of ignition.

Do not eat, drink or smoke during use.

As the use of adequate technical equipment must always take priority over personal protection equipment, make sure that the workplace is well aired through effective local aspiration. The product must be used in well-aired environments fitted with strong localised aspiration systems.

Protect hands with category III (ref. Directive 89/686/EEC and standard EN 374) work gloves, such as those in PVA, butyl, fluoroelastomer or equivalent. The following should be considered when choosing work glove material: degradation, breakage times and permeation. Work glove resistance to preparations should be checked before use, as it can be unpredictable. Gloves' limit depends on the duration of exposure.

Wear protective airtight goggles (ref. standard EN 166).

If the threshold value (if available) for one or more of the substances present in the preparation for daily exposure in the workplace or to a fraction established by the company's prevention and protection service is exceeded, wear a mask with an A or universal filter, the class (1, 2 or 3) of which must be chosen according to the limit concentration of use (ref. standard EN 141). The use of respiratory tract protection equipment, such as masks like that indicated above, is necessary to reduce worker exposure in the absence of technical measures. The protection provided by masks is in any case limited. If the substance in question is odourless or its olfactory threshold is higher than the relative exposure limit and in the event of an emergency, or when exposure levels are unknown or the concentration of oxygen in the workplace is less than 17% volume, wear self-contained, open-circuit compressed air breathing apparatus (ref. standard EN 137) or fresh air hose breathing apparatus for use with full face mask, half mask or mouthpiece (ref. standard EN 138).

Wear category III professional long-sleeved overalls and safety footwear (ref. Directive 89/686/CEE and standard EN 344). Wash body with soap and water after removing overalls.

The emissions generated by manufacturing processes, including those generated by ventilation equipment, should be checked to ensure compliance with environmental standards.

The product is stable in normal conditions of use and storage.

There are no particular risks of reaction with other substances in normal conditions of use. FORMALDEHYDE: aqueous solutions are stabilised with methanol but tend to polymerise over time. Storage temperature varies according to concentration. Solutions >25% are also corrosive. Decomposes under the effect of heat.

Forms an explosive mixture with the air. FORMALDEHYDE: risk of explosion on contact with: nitromethane, nitrogen dioxide (at 180°C), hydrogen peroxide, phenol, performic acid, nitric acid. It may also polymerise con contact with: strong oxidising agents, alkalis. Can react dangerously with: hydrochloric acid, magnesium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, perchloric acid and aniline. Forms explosive mixtures with the air. ACETIC ACID: risk of explosion on contact with: chromium (IV) oxide, potassium permanganate, sodium peroxide, perchloric acid, phosphorus chloride, hydrogen peroxide.
