First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Provide fresh air. In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical advice.
Rinse skin with water/shower.
Irrigate copiously with clean, fresh water for at least 10 minutes, holding the eyelids apart. In case of eye irritation consult an ophthalmologist.
In case of accident or unwellness, seek medical advice immediately (show directions for use or safety data sheet if possible).
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
water spray, dry extinguishing powder, BC-powder, carbon dioxide (CO₂)
water jet
Combustible. In case of insufficient ventilation and/or in use, may form flammable/explosive vapour-air mixture. Solvent vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Places which are not ventilated, e.g. unventilated below ground level areas such as trenches, conduits and shafts, are particularly prone to the presence of flammable substances or mixtures. Vapours are heavier than air, spread along floors and form explosive mixtures with air. Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air.
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.
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. Avoidance of ignition sources.
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).
Materials: sand, diatomaceous earth, acid- or universal binding agents

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Provision of sufficient ventilation. Avoid exposure.
Keep container tightly closed.
Wash hands before breaks and after work. Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs. When using do not smoke.
Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Take precautionary measures against static discharge.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Observe the wear time limits according GefStoffV in combination with the rules for using respiratory protection apparatus (DGUV-Rule 112/190).
Preventive skin protection (barrier creams/ointments) is recommended.
Keep away from drains, surface and ground water.
