First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Move to fresh air. Keep patient warm and at rest. Oxygen or artificial respiration if needed. Seek medical advice immediately.

Symptoms: Headache, Nausea, Vomiting, Unconsciousness.

Skin contact

Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated clothes and shoes. If symptoms persist, call a physician.

Symptoms: Redness, Irritation.

Eye contact

In the case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. If easy to do, remove contact lens, if worn. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.

Symptoms: Irritation.

Ingestion

If swallowed, call a poison control centre or doctor immediately. Rinse mouth with water. Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

Symptoms: Few or no symptoms expected. Nausea, Diarrhoea.

Immediate Medical Attention

Seek medical advice immediately (inhalation), call a physician (skin), get medical attention if irritation develops and persists (eyes), call a poison control centre or doctor immediately (ingestion).

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Dry powder, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Foam, Water mist, Sand

Unsuitable media

High volume water jet

Specific hazards

Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Flash back possible over considerable distance. Fire will produce dense black smoke containing hazardous combustion products (see section 10).

Instructions

Cool containers/tanks with water spray. In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes.

Firefighter Protection

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so. Avoid and prevent all contact and exposure. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Attempt to stop leakage without personal risk. Vapours are heavier than air and can cause suffocation by reducing oxygen available for breathing. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Use personal protective equipment. See chapter 8. Remove all sources of ignition. Do not use sparking tools. Pay attention to flashback.

Environmental

Prevent product from entering environment and drains.

Cleanup methods

Collect mechanically and dispose in suitable container for disposal.

Materials: inert absorbent material

Related Products

07

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Avoid inhalation of vapour or mist. Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.

Storage

Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place. Keep locked up or in an area accessible only to qualified or authorised persons. Protect from sunlight.

Hygiene

Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs. When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling the product. Take off contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.

Fire prevention

Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Closed systems for handling, process and storage. Provide adequate ventilation.

Hands

Material: PVA, Break through time: > 480 min; Material: Nitrile rubber, Break through time: > 480 min; Remarks: Wear suitable gloves. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of Regulation (EU) 2016/425 and the standard EN 374 derived from it. Take note of the information given by the producer concerning permeability and break through times, and of special workplace conditions (mechanical strain, duration of contact).

Eyes

Tightly fitting safety goggles, Face-shield (EN 166)

Respiratory

In case of insufficient ventilation: Respirator with AX filter or self-contained breathing apparatus. (EN 371/EN 14387:2004)

Skin/Body

Wear suitable protective clothing and rubber boots.

Environmental

Prevent product from entering environment and drains. If major spillage occurs, contact the proper local authorities.
