First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Move to fresh air. Call a physician or poison control centre immediately.
Symptoms: May cause respiratory irritation.
Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated clothes and shoes. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Get medical attention. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
Symptoms: Causes skin irritation.
Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/ attention.
Symptoms: Causes serious eye irritation.
Seek medical advice.
Immediate Medical Attention
Call a physician or poison control centre immediately. Get medical attention. If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/ attention. Seek medical advice.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Alcohol-resistant foam Carbon dioxide (CO2) Dry chemical Water spray
Water spray jet
Water may be ineffective. The product will float on water and can be reignited on surface water.
Use water spray to cool unopened containers.
Firefighter Protection
Wear an approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus in addition to standard fire fighting gear.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained.
Avoid release to the environment.
Contain spillage, soak up with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and transfer to a container for disposal according to local / national regulations (see section 13). After cleaning, flush away traces with water. Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so.
Materials: non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite)

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Avoid inhalation of vapor or mist. Do not get on skin or clothing. Do not get in eyes. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Do not swallow. Ensure adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep away from fire (No Smoking). Keep away from fire, sparks and heated surfaces. Do not use sparking tools.
Keep container closed when not in use. Store locked up.
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
Keep away from fire (No Smoking). Keep away from fire, sparks and heated surfaces. Do not use sparking tools. Use only in area provided with appropriate exhaust ventilation.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Ensure adequate ventilation.
Rubber gloves Neoprene gloves The data about break through time/strength of material are standard values! The exact break through time/strength of material has to be obtained from the producer of the protective glove.
Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles). Face-shield Always wear eye protection when the potential for inadvertent eye contact with the product cannot be excluded.
Use respiratory protection unless adequate local exhaust ventilation is provided or exposure assessment demonstrates that exposures are within recommended exposure guidelines.
Wear suitable protective clothing.
