First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Terminate the exposure immediately; move the affected person to fresh air. Take care of your own safety, do not let the affected person walk! Beware of the contaminated clothes. Depending on the situation, call the medical rescue service and ensure medical treatment considering the frequent need of further observation for at least 24 hours.

Symptoms: Inhaling vapours can cause corrosion of the breathing system. Cough, headache. May cause respiratory irritation.

Skin contact

Remove contaminated clothes. Take off any rings, watches, bracelets before or during washing if worn in the contaminated areas of the skin. Rinse contaminated areas with a flow of water, lukewarm at best, for 10-30 minutes; do not use any brush, soap or neutralizers. Depending on the situation, call the medical rescue service and always ensure medical treatment. Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Rinse skin with water or shower.

Symptoms: Causes severe skin burns.

Eye contact

Rinse eyes immediately with a flow of running water, open the eyelids (also using force if needed); remove contact lenses immediately if worn by the affected person. No neutralization should be performed in any case! Rinsing should be continued for 10-30 minutes from the inner to the outer eye corner to make sure that the other eye is not involved. Depending on the situation, call medical rescue service or ensure medical treatment as promptly as possible. Everyone must be referred for treatment even if affected only a little.

Symptoms: Causes serious eye damage.

Ingestion

RINSE THE MOUTH WITH WATER IMMEDIATELY AND LET THE PERSON DRINK 2-5 dl of cold water to reduce the heating effect of the corrosive substance. Consuming larger amounts of liquid is not advisable as it may induce vomiting and potential inhaling of the corrosive substances in the lungs. The affected person must not be forced to drink, particularly if already feeling pain in the mouth or throat. In this case let the affected person only rinse the mouth with water. DO NOT PROVIDE ACTIVATED CARBON! Depending on the situation, call medical rescue service or ensure medical treatment as promptly as possible.

Symptoms: Corrosion of the digestion system can occur.

Immediate Medical Attention

Depending on the situation, call the medical rescue service and ensure medical treatment considering the frequent need of further observation for at least 24 hours.

Medical Treatment

Symptomatic treatment.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide, powder, water spray jet, water mist.

Water - full jet.

Specific hazards

In the event of fire, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other toxic gases may arise.

Firefighter Protection

Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) with a chemical protection suit only where personal (close) contact is likely. Use a self-contained breathing apparatus and full-body protective clothing.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Use personal protective equipment for work. Follow the instructions in the Sections 7 and 8. Do not inhale mist/vapours/spray. Prevent contact with skin and eyes.

Large spill

In the event of leakage of the substantial amount of the product, inform fire brigade and other competent bodies.

Environmental

Prevent contamination of the soil and entering surface or ground water.

Cleanup methods

After removal of the product, wash the contaminated site with plenty of water. Do not use solvents.

Related Products

07

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Prevent formation of gases and vapours in concentrations exceeding the occupational exposure limits. Do not inhale mist/vapours/spray. Prevent contact with skin and eyes.

Hygiene

Wash hands and exposed parts of the body thoroughly after handling. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Follow the usual measures intended for health protection at work and especially for good ventilation. This can be achieved only by local suction or efficient general ventilation.

Hands

Protective gloves resistant to the product (nitrile rubber). When choosing appropriate thickness, material and permeability of the gloves, observe recommendations of their particular manufacturer. Observe other recommendations of the manufacturer.

Eyes

Protective goggles or face shield (based on the nature of the work performed).

Respiratory

Halfmask with a filter against organic vapours or a self-contained breathing apparatus as appropriate if exposure limit values of substances are exceeded or in a poorly ventilated environment.

Skin/Body

Other protection: protective workwear. Contaminated skin should be washed thoroughly.

Environmental

Observe usual measures for protection of the environment, see Section 6.2.
