First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Move affected person to fresh air and keep warm and at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues.

Skin contact

Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Use suitable lotion to moisturise skin.

Eye contact

Do not rub eye. Rinse with copious quantities of water and seek medical attention if irritation persists.

Ingestion

Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues.

Medical Treatment

No specific recommendations.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Use fire extinguishing media appropriate for the surrounding materials.

Specific hazards

Thermal decomposition or combustion products may include the following substances: Asphyxiating gases. Carbon dioxide (CO2). @ > 600 °C. Harmful gases or vapours. Can decompose at high temperatures forming toxic gases.

Instructions

Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire.

Firefighter Protection

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Environmental

Do not discharge into drains or watercourses or onto the ground.

Cleanup methods

07

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Do not eat, drink and smoke in work areas; wash hands after use; remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas. Avoid airborne dust generation. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where airborne dust is generated. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory protective equipment. Handle packaged products carefully to prevent accidental bursting.

Storage

Store in a dry covered area. Keep containers closed and store packaged products so as to prevent accidental bursting.

Hygiene

Do not eat, drink and smoke in work areas; wash hands after use; remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Minimise airborne dust generation. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below specified exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fumes or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne particles below the exposure limit. Apply organisational measures, e.g. by isolating personnel from dusty areas.

Hands

Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn if a risk assessment indicates skin contact is possible. It is recommended that gloves are made of the following material: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Rubber (natural, latex).

Eyes

Eyewear complying with an approved standard should be worn if a risk assessment indicates eye contact is possible. The following protection should be worn: Chemical splash goggles or face shield. Contact lenses should not be worn when working with this product.

Respiratory

Local ventilation to keep levels below established threshold values is recommended. In case of prolonged exposure to airborne dust concentrations, a suitable particle filter mask type FFP1, FFP2, FFP3 (European Norm 143) or that complies with the requirements of national legislation is recommended

Skin/Body

No specific requirement. Appropriate protection (e.g. protective clothing, barrier cream) is recommended for workers who suffer from dermatitis or sensitive skin.

Environmental

Dispose of contents/container in accordance with local regulations.
