First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Keep at rest. Keep warm and in a quiet place. Move to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If unconscious place in recovery position and seek medical advice. Call a physician immediately.
Symptoms: Inhalation may provoke the following symptoms: Mental confusion, Coughing, Headache, CNS stimulation, sore throat, nausea, Breathing difficulties, discomfort in the chest, Shortness of breath Vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness. Causes damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure.
Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Call a physician immediately.
Symptoms: Irritating to skin. Skin contact may provoke the following symptoms: Redness Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking. Causes damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure.
Remove contact lenses. Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Keep eye wide open while rinsing. Call a physician immediately.
Symptoms: Contact with eyes may cause irritation. Eye contact may provoke the following symptoms: Swelling of tissue, Redness.
Do NOT induce vomiting. Observe risk of aspiration if vomiting occurs. Rinse mouth with water. Drink plenty of water. Do not give milk or alcoholic beverages. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician immediately.
Symptoms: Harmful: may cause lung damage if swallowed. Causes damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Use dry chemical, CO2, water spray or alcohol resistant foam.
High volume water jet
Fire or intense heat may cause violent rupture of packages. Container may explode if heated. Vapours may form explosive mixture with air. Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Flash back possible over considerable distance.
In the event of fire, cool tanks with water spray.
Firefighter Protection
In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Ensure adequate ventilation. Wear personal protective equipment.
Large spills should be collected mechanically (remove by pumping) for disposal.
Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.
Soak up with inert absorbent material. Sweep up and shovel into suitable containers for disposal.
Materials: inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust)

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Ensure adequate ventilation. Wear personal protective equipment. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Do not breathe vapours or spray mist. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Ensure all equipment is electrically grounded before beginning transfer operations. Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Take any precaution to avoid mixing with incompatible materials. Take care to avoid waste and spillage when weighing, loading and mixing the product.
Keep tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place.
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling the product. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Keep working clothes separately. Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs.
Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Closed system. Ensure adequate ventilation. Use only in area provided with appropriate exhaust ventilation. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. Take necessary action to avoid static electricity discharge (which might cause ignition of organic vapours). Provide adequate precautions, such as electrical grounding and bonding, or inert atmospheres. Organisational measures to prevent /limit releases, dispersion and exposure. See also section 7
Viton (R), Butyl rubber. (EN 374) The selection of specific gloves for a specific application and time of use in a working area, should also take into account other factors on the working space, such as (but not limited to): other chemicals that are possibly used, physical requirements (protection against cutting/drilling, skill, thermal protection), and the instructions/specification of the supplier of gloves.
Safety glasses (EN166)
In case of insufficient ventilation wear suitable respiratory equipment. Recommended Filter type: A (EN 141). Respirator with a half face mask (EN 140). Respirator with a full face mask (EN 136). Self-contained open-circuit compressed air breathing apparatus (EN 137)
chemical-resistant overalls
Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. Comply with applicable Community environmental protection legislation.
