Composition / Information on Ingredients
Chemical components, concentration ranges, and hazardous substance identification
A complex emulsion of highest quality anionic and non-ionic surface active agents, stabilizing agents, alkalis, non-phosphate detergent builders and sequestering agents, in an aqueous base.
First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove the victim from the environment and take to a fresh and ventilated area. If the person feels unwell, seek medical attention immediately.
Remove any contaminated clothing which will have to be washed before re-use. Rinse immediately and thoroughly (for at least 15 minutes) with water and antiseptic soap all body parts coming in contact with the product, even if only suspected. In case of involvement of the mucosal membranes, wash immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice.
Rinse immediately with plenty of clean running water for at least 20 minutes, separating the eyelid. Consult a physician or specialist for an inspection.
SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. Do not induce vomiting. Drink plenty of water and keep the victim relaxed until a physician arrives.
Immediate Medical Attention
IN CASE OF ACCIDENT OR IF YOU DO NOT FEEL WELL, IMMEDIATELY SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptoms and alleviate over-exposure. A copy of this Safety Data Sheet should be made available to attending medical personnel.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Dry chemical powder or appropriate foam class B fire extinguisher.
This product is corrosive. Under conditions of a fire, the solution can emit corrosive and toxic vapors.
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes, if necessary. Ensure all equipment is thoroughly decontaminated before returning to service.
Firefighter Protection
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes, if necessary.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Clear the immediate area. Check for personal contamination. Immediately contact appropriately trained response personnel.
Do not let product enter drains or otherwise discharge to the environment.
Wipe up spills with inert absorbent materials and place them in a suitable container. Neutralize remaining residue with base neutralizing agent (e.g., Citric Acid solution). Rinse neutralized area and equipment, and test to confirm neutralization is complete with pH paper.
Materials: inert absorbent materials, base neutralizing agent (e.g., Citric Acid solution), pH paper

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Normal precautions for handling chemicals must be observed. Wash hands and other potentially exposed areas after handling.
Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. Store in original container in a cool, dry, well ventilated storage area (15-26°C). Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Protect from physical damage.
Wash hands and other potentially exposed areas after handling.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Per prudent laboratory practice, an eyewash/safety shower must be readily assessable in areas of use.
Nitrile gloves are recommended for use with this product. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. When removing gloves, avoid touching the outer surface with skin. Dispose of contaminated gloves according to good laboratory practices and local hazardous waste regulations. Wash and dry hands after removing gloves.
Safety glasses with side shields recommended for typical applications. If aerosols, splashes or sprays can be generated (e.g., during spill clean-up), wear tight fitting goggles. Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166 (EU).
None normally needed under routine circumstances of use. Where risk assessment shows air purifying respirators are appropriate (e.g., spill response to a non-incidental release), use a respirator with multi-purpose combination (US) or type ABEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a back up to engineering controls. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
Wear laboratory coat under typical circumstances of use and during clean-up of spills.
Do not let product enter drains. Recommend the use of safety pipette device.
