First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Move to fresh air. Consult doctor if feeling unwell.
Wash off with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing.
Rinse out with plenty of water. Call in ophthalmologist.
Caution if victim vomits. Keep airways free. Call a physician immediately. Subsequently administer: activated charcoal (20 - 40 g in 10% slurry). Laxative: Sodium sulfate (1 tablespoon/1/4 l water).
Symptoms: Nausea, Vomiting, Headache, drowsiness, Salivation. Risk of aspiration. Pulmonary failure possible after aspiration of vomit.
Immediate Medical Attention
Call in ophthalmologist. Call a physician immediately. After swallowing of large amounts: Gastric lavage.
Medical Treatment
After swallowing of large amounts: Gastric lavage. Administer activated charcoal (20 - 40 g in 10% slurry) and Sodium sulfate (1 tablespoon/1/4 l water) as a laxative.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Carbon dioxide (CO2), Dry powder, Foam
For this substance/mixture no limitations of extinguishing agents are given.
Combustible. Vapours 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 vapours possible in the event of fire.
Remove container from danger zone and cool with water.
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
Do not breathe 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.
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 vapours/aerosols. Observe label precautions.
Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Recommended storage temperature see product label.
Immediately change contaminated clothing. Apply preventive skin protection. Wash hands and face after working with substance.
Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition.
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.
For splash contact, use butyl-rubber gloves with a thickness of 0.7 mm and a breakthrough time of at least 120 minutes. Gloves must comply with EC Directive 89/686/EEC and the related standard EN374, for example KCL 898 Butoject.
Safety glasses
Required when vapours/aerosols are generated. Recommended Filter type: Filter A (acc. to DIN 3181) for vapours of organic compounds.
Flame retardant antistatic protective clothing
Do not empty into drains. Risk of explosion.
