First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Supply fresh air. In case of breathing difficulties or respiratory arrest, initiate artificial respiration. Seek immediate medical advice.
Symptoms: Breathing difficulty, respiratory arrest
Flush contaminated skijn with soap and plenty of water. Consult a doctor if symptoms persist.
Symptoms: Dermatitis (skin drying)
Rinse out opened eye for several minutes under running water. Remove contact lenses. Continue rinsing. Seek immediate medical advice.
Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Make vicitim drink water (two glasses at most). Do not induce vomiting - aspiration hazard. Call a doctor immediately.
Symptoms: Risk of aspiration, Gastric or intestinal disorders, Nausea
Immediate Medical Attention
Seek immediate medical advice (inhalation, eye contact). Call a doctor immediately (swallowing). Later observation for pneumonia and pulmonary oedema. Give Glucocorticoid-Aerosol in case of lung irritation. If necessary oxygen respiration treatment. Monitor circulation, possible shock treatment.
Medical Treatment
Give Glucocorticoid-Aerosol in case of lung irritation. If necessary oxygen respiration treatment. Monitor circulation, possible shock treatment.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Water spray, powder, carbon dioxide or foam. Fight larger fires with water spray or alcohol resistant foam.
Water with full jet.
Combustible. Vapours are heavier than air, spread on the ground and form an explosive mixture with air.
Do not inhale explosion gases or combustion gases.
Firefighter Protection
Wear fully protective suit. Wear self-contained respiratory protective device.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Evacuate the danger area. Keep unprotected persons away.
Do not allow product to reach sewage system or any water course. Do not allow to enter sewers/surface or ground water.
Absorb with liquid-binding material (sand, diatomite, acid binders, universal binders, sawdust).
Materials: liquid-binding material (sand, diatomite, acid binders, universal binders, sawdust)

Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
No further data; see section 7.
Protective gloves The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation. Due to missing tests no recommendation to the glove material can be given for the product/ the preparation/ the chemical mixture. Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation Material of gloves The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. NBR: acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber Material thickness > 0.4 mm Penetration time of glove material The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed. level 6 for application > 480 min
Tightly sealed goggles
Not required.
Protective work clothing (e. g. safety shoes EN ISO 20345, long-sleeved protective working garments).
