Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
🫁 Inhalation Exposure
Call a physician immediately. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration.
🖐️ Skin Contact
After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water.
👁️ Eye Contact
In case of contact with eyes flush immediately with plenty of flowing water for 10 to 15 minutes holding eyelids apart and consult an ophthalmologist. Protect uninjured eye.
🍽️ Ingestion/Swallowing
Rinse mouth immediately and drink plenty of water. Rinse mouth with water (only if the person is conscious). Call a physician immediately.
Symptoms:
danger of perforation of the esophagus and the stomach (strong corrosive effects).
🚨 Immediate Medical Attention Required
Call a physician immediately (following inhalation or ingestion). Immediate medical treatment required for skin contact because corrosive injuries that are not treated are hard to cure.
Fire Fighting Measures & Emergency Response
Fire suppression methods, extinguishing media, and firefighting safety procedures
✅ Suitable Extinguishing Media
co-ordinate firefighting measures to the fire surroundings dry extinguishing powder, BC-powder, carbon dioxide (CO₂)
❌ Unsuitable Extinguishing Media
water, foam
⚠️ Specific Fire Hazards
Combustible. Vapours are heavier than air, spread along floors and form explosive mixtures with air.
🔥 Fire Fighting Instructions
Fight fire with normal precautions from a reasonable distance.
🛡️ Firefighter Protection Equipment
In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear full chemical protective clothing.
Accidental Release Measures & Spill Response
Emergency spill cleanup procedures, containment methods, and environmental protection
🚨 Emergency Procedures
For non-emergency personnel: Use personal protective equipment as required. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothes. Do not breathe vapour/spray.
🌍 Environmental Precautions
Keep away from drains, surface and ground water. Retain contaminated washing water and dispose of it. The product is an acid. Before discharge into sewage plants the product normally needs to be neutralised.
🧹 Cleanup Methods
Absorb with liquid-binding material (sand, diatomaceous earth, acid- or universal binding agents).
Cleanup Materials:

Safe Handling & Storage Procedures
Industrial handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace safety requirements
⚠️ Handling Precautions
• Provision of sufficient ventilation.
• Use extractor hood (laboratory).
• Handle and open container with care.
• Clear contaminated areas thoroughly.
🏪 Storage Conditions
• Keep container tightly closed.
• Keep only in original container.
• Store in a dry place.
• Store locked up.
🧼 General Hygiene Measures
Wash hands before breaks and after work.
🔥 Fire Prevention Measures
Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.
Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
🧤 Hand Protection
Wear suitable gloves. Chemical protection gloves are suitable, which are tested according to EN 374. Check leak-tightness/impermeability prior to use. For special purposes, it is recommended to check the resistance to chemicals of the protective gloves mentioned above together with the supplier of these gloves. The times are approximate values from measurements at 22 ° C and permanent contact. Increased temperatures due to heated substances, body heat etc. and a reduction of the effective layer thickness by stretching can lead to a considerable reduction of the breakthrough time. If in doubt, contact manufacturer. At an approx. 1.5 times larger / smaller layer thickness, the respective breakthrough time is doubled / halved. The data apply only to the pure substance. When transferred to substance mixtures, they may only be considered as a guide. Type of material: FKM (fluoro rubber). Material thickness: 0,4 mm. Breakthrough times of the glove material: >480 minutes (permeation: level 6).
👁️ Eye Protection
Use safety goggle with side protection. Wear face protection.
😷 Respiratory Protection
Respiratory protection necessary at: Aerosol or mist formation. Type: B-P2 (combined filters for acidic gases and particles, colour code: Grey/White).
🦺 Skin/Body Protection
Take recovery periods for skin regeneration. Preventive skin protection (barrier creams/ointments) is recommended.
🌍 Environmental Exposure Controls
Keep away from drains, surface and ground water.
