First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
After inhalation: fresh air. If breathing stops: mouth-to-mouth breathing or artificial respiration. Oxygen if necessary. Immediately call in physician.
After skin contact: wash off with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing. Get medical attention.
After eye contact: rinse out with plenty of water. Call in ophthalmologist.
After swallowing: immediately make victim drink water (two glasses at most). Consult a physician. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Immediate Medical Attention
No information available.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Carbon dioxide (CO2), Foam, Dry powder
For this substance/mixture no limitations of extinguishing agents are given.
Combustible. Vapors are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Forms explosive mixtures with air at ambient temperatures. Pay attention to flashback. Development of hazardous combustion gases or vapors possible in the event of fire.
Remove container from danger zone and cool with water. Suppress (knock down) gases/vapors/mists with a water spray jet.
Firefighter Protection
Stay in danger area only with self-contained breathing apparatus. Prevent skin contact by keeping a safe distance or by wearing suitable protective clothing.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Evacuate the danger area, observe emergency procedures, consult an expert.
Do not empty into drains. Risk of explosion.
Take up with liquid-absorbent material (e.g. Chemizorb®). Dispose of properly. Clean up affected area.
Materials: liquid-absorbent material (e.g. Chemizorb®)

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Work under hood. Do not inhale substance/mixture. Avoid generation of vapors/aerosols. Observe label precautions.
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 (+59°F to +77°F).
Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Take precautionary measures against static discharge.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Technical measures and appropriate working operations should be given priority over the use of personal protective equipment.
Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary.
Safety glasses
required when vapors/aerosols are generated. Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying with an approved standard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe working limits of the selected respirator.
Protective clothing should be selected specifically for the workplace, depending on concentration and quantity of the hazardous substances handled. The chemical resistance of the protective equipment should be inquired at the respective supplier. Flame retardant antistatic protective clothing
