Composition Notes
For the text of the H-phrases and classification codes (GHS/CLP), see Section 16. The substances named in this section are given with their actual, appropriate classification! For substances that are listed in appendix VI, table 3.1 of the regulation (EC) no. 1272/2008 (CLP regulation) this means that all notes that may be given here for the named classification have been taken into account. If, for example, the note P is applied for a hydrocarbon then this has already been taken into account for the classification named here. Quote: "Note P - The classification as a carcinogen or mutagen need not apply if it can be shown that the substance contains less than 0,1 % w/w benzene (EINECS No 200-753-7)." Article 4 of the regulation (EC) no. 1272/2008 (CLP regulation) was also observed and taken into account for the classification named here.
Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
🫁 Inhalation Exposure
Supply person with fresh air. Remove person from danger area. Respiratory arrest - Artificial respiration apparatus necessary.
Symptoms:
Headaches, Nausea, Dizziness, Irritation of the respiratory tract, Effects/damages the central nervous system
🖐️ Skin Contact
Remove polluted, soaked clothing immediately, wash thoroughly with plenty of water and soap, in case of irritation of the skin (flare), consult a doctor.
Symptoms:
Irritation of the skin (flare), Dermatitis (skin inflammation) (with long-term contact)
👁️ Eye Contact
Remove contact lenses. Wash thoroughly for several minutes using copious water. Seek medical help if necessary.
Symptoms:
Irritation of the eyes
🍽️ Ingestion/Swallowing
Rinse the mouth thoroughly with water. Consult doctor immediately - keep Data Sheet available. Do not induce vomiting. Danger of aspiration.
Symptoms:
Nausea, Vomiting, Diarrhoea, Danger of aspiration.
🚨 Immediate Medical Attention Required
Seek medical help if necessary (eye contact). In case of irritation of the skin (flare), consult a doctor (skin contact). Consult doctor immediately - keep Data Sheet available (ingestion).

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
🏭 Engineering Controls
Ensure good ventilation. This can be achieved by local suction or general air extraction. If this is insufficient to maintain the concentration under the WEL or AGW values, suitable breathing protection should be worn. Applies only if maximum permissible exposure values are listed here. Suitable assessment methods for reviewing the effectiveness of protection measures adopted include metrological and non-metrological investigative techniques. These are specified by e.g. EN 14042. EN 14042 "Workplace atmospheres. Guide for the application and use of procedures for the assessment of exposure to chemical and biological agents".
🧤 Hand Protection
Protective nitrile gloves (EN ISO 374). Minimum layer thickness in mm: >= 0,4 Permeation time (penetration time) in minutes: >= 480 The breakthrough times determined in accordance with EN 16523-1 were not obtained under practical conditions. The recommended maximum wearing time is 50% of breakthrough time. Protective hand cream recommended. Additional information on hand protection - No tests have been performed. In the case of mixtures, the selection has been made according to the knowledge available and the information about the contents. Selection of materials derived from glove manufacturer's indications. Final selection of glove material must be made taking the breakthrough times, permeation rates and degradation into account. Selection of a suitable glove depends not only on the material but also on other quality characteristics and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. In the case of mixtures, the resistance of glove materials cannot be predicted and must therefore be tested before use. The exact breakthrough time of the glove material can be requested from the protective glove manufacturer and must be observed.
👁️ Eye Protection
Tight fitting protective goggles with side protection (EN 166).
😷 Respiratory Protection
Normally not necessary. If OES or MEL is exceeded. Filter A P3 (EN 14387), code colour brown, white Observe wearing time limitations for respiratory protection equipment.
🦺 Skin/Body Protection
Protective working garments (e.g. safety shoes EN ISO 20345, long-sleeved protective working garments).
