First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

fresh air. Call in physician.

Symptoms: respiratory paralysis

Skin contact

Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/ shower.

Symptoms: Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking.

Eye contact

rinse out with plenty of water with the eyelid held wide open. Call in ophthalmologist if necessary.

Ingestion

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

Suitable media

Carbon dioxide (CO2), Foam, Dry powder

Unsuitable media

For this substance/mixture no limitations of extinguishing agents are given.

Specific hazards

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.

Instructions

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.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

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.

Environmental

Do not empty into drains. Risk of explosion.

Cleanup methods

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

Handling

Observe label precautions. Work under hood. Do not inhale substance/mixture. Avoid generation of vapours/aerosols.

Storage

Protected from light. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition.

Hygiene

Change contaminated clothing. Preventive skin protection recommended. Wash hands after working with substance.

Fire prevention

Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Take precautionary measures against static discharge.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Technical measures and appropriate working operations should be given priority over the use of personal protective equipment. See section 7.1.

Hands

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).

Eyes

Safety glasses

Respiratory

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.

Skin/Body

Flame retardant antistatic protective clothing.

Environmental

Do not empty into drains. Risk of explosion.
