First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Move to fresh air. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration. If unconscious place in recovery position. Consult a physician.
Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water. If skin irritation persists, call a physician.
Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 5 minutes. Consult an eye specialist immediately. Go to an ophthalmic hospital if possible.
Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Do NOT induce vomiting. Call a physician immediately. If a person vomits when lying on his back, place him in the recovery position.
Immediate Medical Attention
Consult an eye specialist immediately (for eye contact). Call a physician immediately (for ingestion).
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
High volume water jet
The vapour may be invisible, heavier than air and spread along ground. Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air. Flash back possible over considerable distance.
Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water spray. Heating will cause a pressure rise - with risk of bursting.
Firefighter Protection
In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear appropriate body protection (full protective suit)
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Use personal protective equipment. Keep away unprotected persons. Provide adequate ventilation. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Do not breathe gas/fumes/vapour/spray. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. Avoid subsoil penetration. 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
Materials: non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite)

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Keep container tightly closed. Ensure adequate ventilation. Use personal protective equipment. Avoid contact with the skin and the eyes. Do not breathe vapours or spray mist. Emergency eye wash fountains and emergency showers should be available in the immediate vicinity.
Keep tightly closed in a dry and cool place. Keep away from direct sunlight. Keep away from heat. Keep in a well-ventilated place.
Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs. Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in the application area. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday. Take off all contaminated clothing immediately. Avoid contact with the skin and the eyes. Do not breathe gas/fumes/vapour/spray.
Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. The vapour may be invisible, heavier than air and spread along ground. Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Refer to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8.
Wear suitable gloves. The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product / the substance / the preparation. Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation. Protective gloves should be replaced at first signs of wear. Material : butyl-rubber Gloves : >= 1 h Glove thickness : 0.5 mm
Tightly fitting safety goggles
Required if vapours or aerosol are released. Combination filter: A-P2
Solvent resistant protective clothing
Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. Avoid subsoil penetration. If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.
