First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Call a physician immediately. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration.
After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water.
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.
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
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.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
co-ordinate firefighting measures to the fire surroundings dry extinguishing powder, BC-powder, carbon dioxide (CO₂)
water, foam
Combustible. Vapours are heavier than air, spread along floors and form explosive mixtures with air.
Fight fire with normal precautions from a reasonable distance.
Firefighter Protection
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 cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
For non-emergency personnel: Use personal protective equipment as required. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothes. Do not breathe vapour/spray.
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.
Absorb with liquid-binding material (sand, diatomaceous earth, acid- or universal binding agents).
Materials: liquid-binding material (sand, diatomaceous earth, acid- or universal binding agents)

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Provision of sufficient ventilation. Use extractor hood (laboratory). Handle and open container with care. Clear contaminated areas thoroughly.
Keep container tightly closed. Keep only in original container. Store in a dry place. Store locked up.
Wash hands before breaks and after work.
Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
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).
Use safety goggle with side protection. Wear face protection.
Respiratory protection necessary at: Aerosol or mist formation. Type: B-P2 (combined filters for acidic gases and particles, colour code: Grey/White).
Take recovery periods for skin regeneration. Preventive skin protection (barrier creams/ointments) is recommended.
Keep away from drains, surface and ground water.
