First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.

Symptoms: difficulty breathing

Skin contact

Wash with soap and water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Get medical attention if irritation develops. Cold water may be used. For serious skin contact: Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek medical attention.

Symptoms: irritation

Eye contact

Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention. Finish by rinsing thoroughly with running water to avoid a possible infection.

Ingestion

Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Get medical attention if symptoms appear.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Use DRY chemical powder, water spray, fog or foam.

Unsuitable media

Do not use water jet.

Specific hazards

Slightly flammable to flammable in presence of open flames and sparks, of heat. Non-flammable in presence of shocks.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Small spill

Dilute with water and mop up, or absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. If necessary: Neutralize the residue with a dilute solution of acetic acid. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements.

Large spill

If the product is in its solid form: Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container. If the product is in its liquid form: Absorb with an inert material and put the spilled material in an appropriate waste disposal. Neutralize the residue with a dilute solution of acetic acid. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow to evacuate through the sanitary system. Be careful that the product is not present at a concentration level above TLV. Check TLV on the MSDS and with local authorities.

Cleanup methods

Dilute with water and mop up; absorb with an inert dry material; use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container; spreading water on the contaminated surface

Materials: water; inert dry material; inert material

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Keep locked up. Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Empty containers pose a fire risk, evaporate the residue under a fume hood. Ground all equipment containing material. Do not ingest. Do not breathe gas/fumes/ vapor/ spray. Wear suitable protective clothing. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or the label. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents, reducing agents, organic materials, metals, acids.

Storage

Hygroscopic. Light Sensitive. Store in light-resistant container. Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Do not store above 23°C (73.4°F).

Hygiene

Do not ingest. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Fire prevention

Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Empty containers pose a fire risk, evaporate the residue under a fume hood. Ground all equipment containing material.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors below their respective threshold limit value.

Hands

Gloves.

Eyes

Splash goggles.

Respiratory

Vapor respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent. In case of a large spill, a vapor respirator or a self-contained breathing apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product.

Skin/Body

Lab coat. In case of a large spill, a full suit and boots are required. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE handling this product.
