First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing.
Symptoms: May cause drowsiness or dizziness.
Take off contaminated clothing. Gently wash with plenty of soap and water.
Symptoms: No adverse effects are expected.
Rinse immediately carefully and thoroughly with eye-bath or water. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.
Symptoms: Causes serious eye irritation.
Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Do NOT induce vomiting. Get immediate medical advice/attention.
Symptoms: May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways. The following symptoms may occur: Vomiting.
Immediate Medical Attention
Get immediate medical advice/attention.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Water spray, alcohol resistant foam, Dry extinguishing powder, Carbon dioxide
Strong water jet
Extremely flammable liquid and vapour. Heating causes rise in pressure with risk of bursting. Vapours can form explosive mixtures with air. Vapours are heavier than air, spread along floors and form explosive mixtures with air. Vapours can travel considerable distances to a source of ignition where they can ignite, flash back, or explode.
Use water spray jet to protect personnel and to cool endangered containers. Evacuate area.
Firefighter Protection
Special protective equipment for firefighters. In case of fire: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Evacuate area. Stay upwind/keep distance from source. Provide adequate ventilation. Do not breathe vapour/spray. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothes.
Absorb with liquid-binding material (e.g. sand, diatomaceous earth, acid- or universal binding agents)., Collect in closed and suitable containers for disposal.
Large spills should be collected mechanically (remove by pumping) for disposal., Collect in closed and suitable containers for disposal.
Do not allow to enter into ground-water, surface water or drains.
Use foam on spills to minimise vapours.
Materials: liquid-binding material (e.g. sand, diatomaceous earth, acid- or universal binding agents)

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Provide adequate ventilation. Use personal protective equipment as required. Do not breathe vapour/spray. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothes. Take any precaution to avoid mixing with incompatible materials. Ensure proper process control to avoid excess waste discharge (temperature, concentration, pH, time). Obtain special instructions before use. Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking.
Keep in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Do not store near or with any of the incompatible materials listed in section 10. Bund storage facilities to prevent soil and water pollution in the event of spillage. Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking.
Keep good industrial hygiene. Wash hands before breaks and immediately after using the product. When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs. Keep work clothes separately. Take off contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking. Ensure that the equipment is adequately grounded.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Provide adequate ventilation. Organisational measures to prevent/limit releases, dispersion and exposure. Safe handling: see section 7. Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Store locked up. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Ensure that the equipment is adequately grounded. Use explosion-proof machinery, apparatus, ventilation facilities, tools etc.
Wear chemically resistant gloves (tested to EN374), The quality of the protective gloves resistant to chemicals must be chosen as a function of the specific working place concentration and quantity of hazardous substances.
Use suitable eye protection. (EN166): Goggles
In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Half-face mask (EN 140) Full face mask (EN 136) Filter type: A / P (EN 143) The filter class must be suitable for the maximum contaminant concentration (gas/vapour/aerosol/particulates) that may arise when handling the product. If the concentration is exceeded, self-contained breathing apparatus must be used. (EN 137)
Wear suitable protective clothing.
Do not allow contact with soil, surface or ground water. Comply with applicable Community environmental protection legislation.
