First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Fresh air. If breathing stops: mouth-to-mouth respiration or artificial ventilation. Oxygen if necessary. Immediately call in physician.

Skin contact

Remove contaminated clothing, immediately. Wash off with water /shower. Consult a physician.

Eye contact

Rinse out with plenty of water. Call in ophthalmologist. Remove contact lenses.

Ingestion

Immediately make victim drink water (two glasses at most). Consult a physician. Subsequently administer activated charcoal (20-40g in 10% slurry).

Symptoms: Nausea and vomiting after swallowing.

Immediate Medical Attention

Immediately call in physician.

Medical Treatment

Subsequently administer activated charcoal (20-40g in 10% slurry).

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Carbon dioxide (CO₂), foam, dry powder, water.

Unsuitable media

For this substance/mixture no irritations of extinguishing agents are given.

Specific hazards

Combustible. Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Forms explosive mixtures with air at elevated temperatures. Development of hazardous combustion gases or vapours possible in the event of fire.

Instructions

Remove container from danger zone and cool with water.

Firefighter Protection

Stay in dangerous area only with self-contained breathing apparatus. Prevent skin contact by keeping a safe distance or by wearing suitable protective clothing.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Do not inhale vapours/aerosols. Avoid substance contact. Ensure adequate ventilation. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Evacuate the danger area, observe emergency procedures, consult an expert.

Environmental

Do not allow to enter into drain. Risk of explosion.

Cleanup methods

Take up with liquid-absorbent material (e.g. Chemizorb®). Dispose of properly. Clean up affected area.

Materials: liquid-absorbent material (e.g. Chemizorb®)

07

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Observe label precautions. Work under hood. Do not inhale substance / mixture. Avoid generation of vapours/aerosols.

Storage

Keep locked up in an area accessible only for qualified or authorized persons. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Store at +15°C to +25°C.

Hygiene

Immediately change contaminated clothing. Apply preventive skin protection. Wash hands and face after working with substance.

Fire prevention

Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Take precautionary measures to prevent electrostatic charging.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Technical measures and appropriate working operations should be given priority over the use of personal protective equipment. See section 7.1.

Hands

In full contact: Glove material: butyl rubber, Glove thickness: 0.7 mm, Breakthrough time: >480 Min. In splash contact: Glove material: Viton®, Glove thickness: 0.7 mm, Breakthrough time: >240 Min. The protective gloves to be used must comply with the specifications of EC directive 89/686/EEC and the resultant standard EN374, for example KCL 898 Butoject® (full contact), KCL 890 Vitoject® (splash contact).

Eyes

Safety glasses.

Respiratory

Required when vapours/aerosols are generated. Recommended filter type: Filter A (acc. to DIN 3181) for vapours of organic compounds. The entrepreneur has to ensure that maintenance, cleaning and testing of respiratory protective devices are carried out according to the instructions of the producer. These measures have to be properly documented.

Skin/Body

Flame retardant antistatic protective clothing.

Environmental

Do not empty into drains. Risk of explosion.
