First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
fresh air. Call in physician.
Symptoms: respiratory paralysis
Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/ shower.
Symptoms: Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking.
rinse out with plenty of water with the eyelid held wide open. Call in ophthalmologist if necessary.
caution if victim vomits. Risk of aspiration! Keep airways free. Pulmonary failure possible after aspiration of vomit. Call a physician immediately.
Immediate Medical Attention
Call in physician. Call in ophthalmologist if necessary. Call a physician immediately.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Carbon dioxide (CO2), Foam, Dry powder
For this substance/mixture no limitations of extinguishing agents are given.
Combustible. Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Forms explosive mixtures with air at ambient temperatures. Pay attention to flashback. Development of hazardous combustion gases or vapours possible in the event of fire.
Remove container from danger zone and cool with water. Suppress (knock down) gases/vapours/mists with a water spray jet.
Firefighter Protection
Stay in danger area only with self-contained breathing apparatus. Prevent skin contact by keeping a safe distance or by wearing suitable protective clothing.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Avoid substance contact. Do not breathe vapours, aerosols. Ensure adequate ventilation. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Evacuate the danger area, observe emergency procedures, consult an expert.
Do not empty into drains. Risk of explosion.
Take up with liquid-absorbent material (e.g. Chemizorb®). Dispose of properly. Clean up affected area.
Materials: liquid-absorbent material (e.g. Chemizorb®)

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Observe label precautions. Work under hood. Do not inhale substance/mixture. Avoid generation of vapours/aerosols.
Protected from light. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition.
Change contaminated clothing. Preventive skin protection recommended. Wash hands after working with substance.
Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Take precautionary measures against static discharge.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Technical measures and appropriate working operations should be given priority over the use of personal protective equipment. See section 7.1.
splash contact: Glove material: Viton (R), Glove thickness: 0.70 mm, Break through time: > 30 min. The protective gloves to be used must comply with the specifications of EC Directive 89/686/EEC and the related standard EN374, for example KCL 890 Vitoject® (splash contact).
Safety glasses
required when vapours/aerosols are generated. Recommended Filter type: Filter AX (EN 371). The entrepreneur has to ensure that maintenance, cleaning and testing of respiratory protective devices are carried out according to the instructions of the producer. These measures have to be properly documented.
Flame retardant antistatic protective clothing.
Do not empty into drains. Risk of explosion.
