First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. Do not leave the victim unattended. If unconscious, place in recovery position and seek medical advice. If symptoms persist, call a physician.
If skin irritation persists, call a physician. If on skin, rinse well with water. If on clothes, remove clothes.
Immediately flush eye(s) with plenty of water. Remove contact lenses. Protect unharmed eye. Keep eye wide open while rinsing. If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.
Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water. Keep respiratory tract clear. Do not induce vomiting without medical advice. Do not give milk or alcoholic beverages. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If symptoms persist, call a physician. Take victim immediately to hospital.
Immediate Medical Attention

Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Carbon dioxide (CO2) Water spray Dry chemical Foam
High volume water jet
Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.
For safety reasons in case of fire, cans should be stored separately in closed containments. Use a water spray to cool fully closed containers.
Firefighter Protection
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary. Use personal protective equipment.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Use personal protective equipment. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Prevent product from entering drains. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.
collect with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according to local / national regulations (see section 13). Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.
Materials: non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite)

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Avoid formation of aerosol. Do not breathe vapours/dust. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. For personal protection see
Do not spray on a naked flame or any incandescent material. Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Provide sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms. General and local exhaust ventilation is recommended to maintain vapor exposures below recommended limits.
The suitability for a specific workplace should be discussed with the producers of the protective gloves.
Eye wash bottle with pure water. Tightly fitting safety goggles. Wear face-shield and protective suit for abnormal processing problems.
General and local exhaust ventilation is recommended to maintain vapor exposures below recommended limits. Where concentrations are above recommended limits or are unknown, appropriate respiratory protection should be worn. Follow OSHA respirator regulations (29 CFR 1910.134) and use NIOSH/MSHA approved respirators. Protection provided by air purifying respirators against exposure to any hazardous chemical is limited. Use a positive pressure air supplied respirator if there is any potential for uncontrolled release, exposure levels are unknown, or any other circumstance where air purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection.
Impervious clothing. Choose body protection according to the amount and concentration of the dangerous substance at the work place.
Dispose of rinse water in accordance with local and national regulations.
