First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove patient to fresh air, keep him warm and in order to rest quietly. Avoid walking. Seek medical advice.
Symptoms: irritation, headache, dizziness, weakness, stupefaction, irritant coughing, convulsions, unconsciousness, possible respiratory inhibition or arrest.
In case of first degree burns (painful redness), and second degree burns (painful blisters), cool the affected area with cold running water for a long time. In case of third degree burns (redness, cracking pale skin, usually without pain), do not cool affected skin, dress the area with sterile dry gauze only.
Symptoms: First degree burns (painful redness), second degree burns (painful blisters), third degree burns (redness, cracking pale skin, usually without pain).
Immediately flush eyes with clean lukewarm water and continue flushing for at least 15 minutes – keep the eyelids widely apart and flush thoroughly with mild water stream from the inner to the outer. Seek medical advice.
Symptoms: severe irritation, cornea damage.
If patient is conscious and without convulsion, immediately try to induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person, just put patient into a stabilised position.
Symptoms: nausea, vomiting, convulsions, irregular heartbeat.
Immediate Medical Attention
IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION IS REQUIRED AFTER INHALATION OR AFTER SWALLOWING.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Foam, powder, CO2.
Water.
Danger of violent reaction or explosion. Vapours may travel considerable far distances and cause subsequent ignition. Vapours are heavier than air, may cumulate along the ground and in enclosed spaces – danger of explosion. Containers with the substance exposed to excessive heat may explode.
Cool containers with water spray.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Isolate hazard area. Evacuate all unauthorized personnel not participating in rescue operations from the area. Avoid entry into danger area. Stop traffic and switch off the motors of the engines. Do not smoke and do not handle with naked flame. Use explosion-proof lamps and non-sparking tools. Avoid contact with the substance.
Prevent from further leaks of substance.
Pump off substance safely, soak up residues with compatible porous material
Materials: compatible porous material

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Observe all fire-fighting measures (no smoking, do not handle with naked flame and remove all possible sources of ignition). Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Wear recommended personal protective equipment and observe instructions to prevent possible contact of substance with skin and eyes and inhalation.
Store in cool, well-ventilated place.
no smoking, do not handle with naked flame and remove all possible sources of ignition
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
General and local ventilation, effective exhaust.
Wear gloves of impervious material.
Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
If the exposure limit is exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, wear a supplied air, full-face piece respirator, airline hood, or full face piece self-contained breathing apparatus. Protective mask with canister A (brown coloured, protecting against organic vapours), self-contained breathing apparatus.
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact. Protective coverall antistatic design recommended, impervious when handling big amounts (nitrile rubber), sealed leather footwear (free from synthetic adhesives)
