First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Consult a physician.
Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Take victim immediately to hospital. Consult a physician.
Flush eyes with water as a precaution.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth with water. Consult a physician.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
Carbon oxides, Nitrogen oxides (NOx). Combustible.
Firefighter Protection
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Wear respiratory protection. Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing vapours, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Avoid breathing dust.
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains.
Pick up and arrange disposal without creating dust. Sweep up and shovel.
Materials: Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.

Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique (without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of Regulation (EU) 2016/425 and the standard EN 374. Material: Nitrile rubber, Minimum layer thickness: 0,11 mm, Break through time: 480 min, Material tested: Dermatril® (KCL 740 / Aldrich Z677272, Size M).
Face shield and safety glasses. Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).
Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face particle respirator type N100 (US) or type P3 (EN 143) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
Complete suit protecting against chemicals. The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains.
