First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Remove from exposure, lie down. Move to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Obtain medical attention.

Skin contact

Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated clothes and shoes. Obtain medical attention. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-use.

Eye contact

Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician. Obtain medical attention.

Ingestion

Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Immediate medical attention is required. Do not induce vomiting without medical advice. Get medical attention.

Immediate Medical Attention

Immediate medical attention is required.

Medical Treatment

Treat symptomatically

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Water spray, Carbon dioxide (CO₂), Foam, Dry chemical, chemical foam, water fog. Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water spray. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out.

Unsuitable media

Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire. Water may be ineffective.

Specific hazards

Extremely flammable. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Containers may explode when heated.

Instructions

Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water spray. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out.

Firefighter Protection

As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing.

Environmental

Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so

Cleanup methods

Soak up with inert absorbent material. Place under an inert atmosphere.

Materials: sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust

07

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid contact with clothing. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Do not breathe vapors/dust. To avoid ignition of vapors by static electricity discharge, all metal parts of the equipment must be grounded. Use only in area provided with appropriate exhaust ventilation. Handle under inert gas, protect from moisture. Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking. Wash thoroughly after handling. Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. If peroxide formation is suspected, do not open or move container. Keep containers dry and tightly closed to avoid moisture absorption and contamination.

Storage

Keep in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Protect from light. Flammables area. Store at room temperature or below. Do not exceed 86°F. Do not open unless contents are at 72°F or below for at least 24 hours.

Hygiene

Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-use.

Fire prevention

Take precautionary measures against static discharges. All metal parts of the equipment must be grounded. Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Use explosion-proof electrical/ventilating/lighting/equipment. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.

Hands

Protective gloves

Eyes

Goggles

Respiratory

Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced.

Skin/Body

Wear appropriate protective gloves and clothing to prevent skin exposure
