First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Consult a physician.
Immediately wash skin copiously with soap and water. Take victim immediately to hospital. Consult a physician.
Immediately rinse out with water for at least 15 minutes. Assure adequate flushing by separating the eyelids with fingers. Consult a physician.
Wash out mouth with water. Drink plenty of water. Consult a physician. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Immediate Medical Attention
Take victim immediately to hospital.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
During a fire, highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion – Carbon oxides, Nitrogen oxides (NOx).
Firefighter Protection
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Use personal protective equipment. Avoid breathing vapors, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Do not let product enter drains.
Soak up with absorbent material, discard.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE, see section 8).
Keep container tightly closed in a dry, well-ventilated place. Store desiccated at room temperature.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Contains no substances with occupational exposure limit values.
Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique - without touching outer surface of glove - to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands.
Safety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166. Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).
Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face particle respirator type N100 (US) or type P3 (EN 143) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent exposure.
