First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Provide fresh air. In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical advice.
Symptoms: Cough, Dyspnoea
After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. Immediate medical treatment required because corrosive injuries that are not treated are hard to cure.
Symptoms: Corrosion, Irritation
In case of contact with eyes flush immediately with plenty of flowing water for 10 to 15 minutes holding eyelids apart and consult an ophthalmologist. Protect uninjured eye.
Symptoms: Risk of blindness
Rinse mouth immediately and drink plenty of water. If swallowed danger of perforation of the esophagus and the stomach (strong corrosive effects). Call a physician immediately.
Symptoms: Vomiting, Gastric perforation
Immediate Medical Attention
Immediate medical treatment required because corrosive injuries that are not treated are hard to cure. Call a physician immediately.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
water, foam, alcohol resistant foam, dry extinguishing powder, ABC-powder
water jet
Non-combustible.
Fight fire with normal precautions from a reasonable distance.
Firefighter Protection
In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear full chemical protective clothing.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothes. Do not breathe dust. Provide adequate ventilation.
Keep away from drains, surface and ground water. Retain contaminated washing water and dispose of it.
Take up mechanically. Control of dust.

Wash hands before breaks and after work. Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Wear suitable gloves. Chemical protection gloves are suitable, which are tested according to EN 374. Check leak-tightness/impermeability prior to use. Material: NBR (Nitrile rubber). Material thickness: >0,11 mm. Breakthrough times of the glove material: >480 minutes (permeation: level 6).
Use safety goggle with side protection. Wear face protection.
Respiratory protection necessary at: Dust formation. Particulate filter device (EN 143). P2 (filters at least 94 % of airborne particles, colour code: White). Observe the wear time limits according GefStoffV in combination with the rules for using respiratory protection apparatus (DGUV-Rule 112/190).
Take recovery periods for skin regeneration. Preventive skin protection (barrier creams/ointments) is recommended.
Keep away from drains, surface and ground water.
