First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing. If unconscious but breathing normally, place in recovery position and seek medical advice. No mouth-to-mouth or mouth-to-nose resuscitation. Use Ambu bag or ventilator.
Remove contaminated, saturated clothing immediately. After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water and soap. Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. In case of skin irritation, consult a physician. Immediate medical treatment required because corrosive injuries that are not treated are hard to cure.
Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. In case of contact with eyes flush immediately with plenty of flowing water for 10 to 15 minutes holding eyelids apart and consult an ophthalmologist.
Symptoms: Eye irritation
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person or a person with cramps. IF SWALLOWED: rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting.
Immediate Medical Attention
Immediate medical treatment required because corrosive injuries that are not treated are hard to cure.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Extinguishing powder.
Strong water jet. DO NOT USE Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Formation of toxic gases is possible during heating or in case of fire. Extreme exothermic reactions with pure / high concentrations of carbon dioxide. Reacts aggressively with acids.
Firefighter Protection
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical protective clothing.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Use personal protection equipment. Remove persons to safety. Use appropriate respiratory protection. Provide adequate ventilation.
Ensure waste is collected and contained. Do not allow product to enter into surface water or drains.
Collect in closed and suitable containers for disposal. Clean contaminated objects and areas thoroughly observing environmental regulations.
Materials: closed and suitable containers

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Handle in accordance with good hygiene and safety practice. Avoid the raising and deposition of dust. Do not ingest or inhale
Store in a tightly closed/sealed container. Store in dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Do not store in direct sunlight. Keep away from strong acids. Store protected from moisture. Store ideally at room temperature, but not outside temperatures ranging from -20°C to +50°C. Do not allow to desiccate (dry out). Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility. Store in a safe place away from children and not together with or near food, animal feed.
Handle in accordance with good hygiene and safety practice.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Provide adequate ventilation as well as local exhaustion at critical locations.
Use protective gloves made of: Rubber or plastic.
Use approved safety goggles or face shield.
Work in fume cupboard if possible Wear respirator if there is dust formation. Dust filter P2 (for fine dust).
Wear appropriate clothing to prevent reasonably probable skin contact
