Composition / Information on Ingredients
Chemical components, concentration ranges, and hazardous substance identification
| Chemical Name | CAS Number | Concentration | Hazardous |
|---|---|---|---|

For full text of abbreviations: see SECTION 16
Notes
B: Some substances (acids, bases, etc.) are placed on the market in aqueous solutions at various concentrations and, therefore, these solutions require different classification and labelling since the hazards vary at different concentrations. In Part 3 entries with Note B have a general designation of the following type: ‘nitric acid ... %’. In this case the supplier must state the percentage concentration of the solution on the label. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the percentage concentration is calculated on a weight/weight basis. GHS-HC: Harmonised classification (the classification of the substance corresponds to the entry in the list according to 1272/2008/EC, Annex VI). IOELV: Substance with a community indicative occupational exposure limit value.
First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Call a physician immediately. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration.
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.
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.
Rinse mouth immediately and drink plenty of water. Call a physician immediately. If swallowed danger of perforation of the esophagus and the stomach (strong corrosive effects).
Immediate Medical Attention
Call a physician immediately.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
water spray, alcohol resistant foam, dry extinguishing powder, BC-powder, carbon dioxide (CO₂)
water jet
Oxidising property. Non-combustible.
In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Fight fire with normal precautions from a reasonable distance.
Firefighter Protection
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear full chemical protective clothing.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Use personal protective equipment as required. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothes. Do not breathe vapour/spray.
Keep away from drains, surface and ground water. Retain contaminated washing water and dispose of it.
Absorb with liquid-binding material (sand, diatomaceous earth, acid- or universal binding agents). Place in appropriate containers for disposal.
Materials: sand, diatomaceous earth, acid- or universal binding agents

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Handle and open container with care. Clear contaminated areas thoroughly.
Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed. Keep only in original container. May cause decomposition by long-term light influence. Store locked up.
Wash hands before breaks and after work.
Take any precaution to avoid mixing with combustibles. Keep away from combustible material.
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. For special purposes, it is recommended to check the resistance to chemicals of the protective gloves mentioned above together with the supplier of these gloves. The times are approximate values from measurements at 22 °C and permanent contact. Increased temperatures due to heated substances, body heat etc. and a reduction of the effective layer thickness by stretching can lead to a considerable reduction of the breakthrough time. If in doubt, contact manufacturer. At an approx. 1.5 times larger / smaller layer thickness, the respective breakthrough time is doubled / halved. The data apply only to the pure substance. When transferred to substance mixtures, they may only be considered as a guide. Type of material: FKM (fluoro rubber), Butyl caoutchouc (butyl rubber). Material thickness: 0,7 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: Aerosol or mist formation. Type: NO-P3 (against nitrous gases and particles, colour code: Blue/White).
Take recovery periods for skin regeneration. Preventive skin protection (barrier creams/ointments) is recommended.
Keep away from drains, surface and ground water.
