First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
After inhalation: fresh air. Immediately call in physician. If breathing stops: immediately apply artificial respiration, if necessary also oxygen.
Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/ shower. Call a physician immediately.
After eye contact: rinse out with plenty of water. Immediately call in ophthalmologist. Remove contact lenses.
After swallowing: make victim drink water (two glasses at most), avoid vomiting (risk of perforation). Pulmonary failure possible after aspiration of vomit. Call a physician immediately. Do not attempt to neutralise.
Immediate Medical Attention
Call a physician immediately.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Water, Foam, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Dry powder
For this substance/mixture no limitations of extinguishing agents are given.
Carbon oxides, Combustible. Vapors are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Forms explosive mixtures with air at elevated temperatures. Development of hazardous combustion gases or vapours possible in the event of fire.
Remove container from danger zone and cool with water.
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
Evacuate the danger area, observe emergency procedures, consult an expert.
Do not let product enter drains. Risk of explosion.
Take up carefully with liquid-absorbent material (e.g. Chemizorb®). Clean up affected area.
Materials: liquid-absorbent material (e.g. Chemizorb®)

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Work under hood. Do not inhale substance/mixture. Avoid generation of vapours/aerosols.
No metal containers. May decompose forming gaseous products, especially when stored over long periods. Close containers in such a way to enable internal pressure to escape (e.g. excess pressure valve). Protected from light. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Keep locked up or in an area accessible only to qualified or authorized persons.
Immediately change contaminated clothing. Apply preventive skin protection. Wash hands and face 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
Full contact: Material: Chloroprene, Minimum layer thickness: 0.65 mm, Break through time: 480 min, Material tested: KCL 720 Camapren®. Splash contact: Material: Latex gloves, Minimum layer thickness: 0.6 mm, Break through time: 60 min, Material tested: Lapren® (KCL 706 / Aldrich Z677558, Size M).
