First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Supply fresh air. In case of unconsciousness place patient stably in side position for transportation.
Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Immediately wash with water and soap and rinse thoroughly. If skin irritation continues, consult a doctor.
Protect unharmed eye. Call a doctor immediately. Rinse opened eye for several minutes under running water. If symptoms persist, consult a doctor. Remove contact lenses.
Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Make vicitim drink water (two glasses at most). Do not induce vomiting - aspiration hazard. Seek medical treatment.
Immediate Medical Attention
Give Glucocorticoid-Aerosol in case of lung irritation. If necessary oxygen respiration treatment. Monitor circulation.
Medical Treatment
Give Glucocorticoid-Aerosol in case of lung irritation. If necessary oxygen respiration 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 and may spread along floors. Forms explosive mixtures with air on intense heating. Formation of toxic gases is possible during heating or in case of fire.
Cool endangered receptacles with water spray.
Firefighter Protection
Wear fully protective suit. Mouth respiratory protective device. Wear self-contained respiratory protective device.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Keep people at a distance and stay on the windward side. Keep away from ignition sources. Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
Danger of explosion. 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)

Keep ignition sources away - Do not smoke. Protect against electrostatic charges.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
No further data; see item 7.
Solvent resistant gloves Protective gloves The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation. Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation Material of gloves Material thickness > 0,7 mm Fluorocarbon rubber (Viton) 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. Penetration time of glove material level 6 for application > 480 min The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.
Tightly sealed goggles
In case of brief exposure or low pollution use respiratory filter device. In case of intensive or longer exposure use self-contained respiratory protective device.If air-purifying respiratory protection is required according to the risk assessment, wear a respirator with full-face mask with combination filter (US) or with filter type ABEK (EN 14387) filter cartridge. If the respirator is the only protective measure, an ambient air self-contained breathing apparatus with afull face mask must be worn. Respirators and components must be approved to appropriate government standards (for example, NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU)).
Protective work clothing (e. g. safety shoes EN ISO 20345, long-sleeved protective working garments).
