First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Keep at rest. Aerate with fresh air. When symptoms persist or in all cases of doubt seek medical advice.

Symptoms: Lung irritation, Pneumonia. Chemical pneumonitis could follow respiratory exposure.

Skin contact

Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water. When symptoms persist or in all cases of doubt seek medical advice.

Eye contact

Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses.

Ingestion

Rinse mouth. Call a physician immediately. If conscious, drink plenty of water. Do not induce vomiting without medical advice.

Immediate Medical Attention

Immediate medical attention is required. Call a physician immediately. If unconscious, seek medical advice. When symptoms persist or in all cases of doubt seek medical advice.

Medical Treatment

Treat symptomatically. If ingested, irrigate the stomach using activated charcoal. Chemical pneumonitis could follow respiratory exposure.

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

General or dilution ventilation is frequently insufficient as the sole means of controlling employee exposure. Local ventilation is usually preferred. Explosion-proof equipment (for example fans, switches, and grounded ducts) should be used in mechanical ventilation systems.

Hands

Wear protective gloves. Recommendations are listed below. Other protective material may be used, depending on the situation, if adequate degradation and permeation data is available. If other chemicals are used in conjunction with this chemical, material selection should be based on protection for all chemicals present. Suitable material butyl-rubber Evaluation according to EN 374: level 6 Glove thickness approx 0,3 mm Break through time - 480 min Suitable material nitrile rubber Evaluation according to EN 374: level 6 Glove thickness approx 0,55 mm Break through time - 480 min

Eyes

Tightly fitting safety goggles. In addition to goggles, wear a face shield if there is a reasonable chance for splash to the face. Equipment should conform to EN 166

Respiratory

Respirator with A filter. Full mask with above mentioned filter according to producers using requirements or self-contained breathing apparatus. Equipment should conform to EN 136 or EN 140 and EN 143.

Skin/Body

Impervious clothing. Wear face-shield and protective suit for abnormal processing problems.

Environmental

If possible use in closed systems. If leakage can not be prevented, the substance needs to be suck off at the emersion point, if possible without danger. Observe the exposure limits, clean exhaust air if needed. If recycling is not practicable, dispose of in compliance with local regulations. Inform the responsible authorities in case of leakage into the atmosphere, or of entry into waterways, soil or drains.
