First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air, seek medical attention. Immediately administer a corticosteroid from a controlled/metered dose inhaler.
Immediately wash thoroughly with plenty of water, apply sterile dressings, consult a skin specialist.
Immediately wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open, consult an eye specialist.
Do not induce vomiting. Immediately rinse mouth and then drink 200-300 ml of water, seek medical attention.
Immediate Medical Attention
Seek medical attention for inhalation and ingestion. Consult a skin specialist for skin contact. Consult an eye specialist for eye contact. Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions).
Medical Treatment
Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions).
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
water spray, dry powder, foam, carbon dioxide
Endangering substances: nitrogen oxides, carbon oxides. The substances/groups of substances mentioned can be released in case of fire. Under certain conditions in case of fire other hazardous combustion products may be generated.
Suppress gases/vapours/mists with water spray jet. If exposed to fire, keep containers cool by spraying with water.
Firefighter Protection
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-protective clothing.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Ensure adequate ventilation. Keep people away and stay on the upwind side. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing.
For residues: Pick up with suitable absorbent material (e.g. sand, sawdust, general-purpose binder, kieselguhr).
For large amounts: Pump off product.
Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater.
Pick up with suitable absorbent material (e.g. sand, sawdust, general-purpose binder, kieselguhr). Clean contaminated floors and objects thoroughly with water and detergents.
Materials: suitable absorbent material (e.g. sand, sawdust, general-purpose binder, kieselguhr), water and detergents

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Ensure thorough ventilation of stores and work areas. Keep container tightly closed. When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Hands and/or face should be washed before breaks and at the end of the shift. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
Segregate from acids and acid forming substances. Containers should be stored tightly sealed in a dry place.
When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Hands and/or face should be washed before breaks and at the end of the shift. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
Prevent electrostatic charge - sources of ignition should be kept well clear - fire extinguishers should be kept handy.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Adequate ventilation systems.
Chemical resistant protective gloves (EN ISO 374-1). Recommended materials and specifications: butyl rubber (butyl) - 0.7 mm coating thickness, Performance level 6 (>480 min breakthrough time); chloroprene rubber (CR) - 0.5 mm coating thickness, Performance level 4 (>120 min breakthrough time); nitrile rubber (NBR) - 0.4 mm coating thickness, Performance level 3 (>60 min breakthrough time). Unsuitable materials: fluoroelastomer (FKM) - 0.7 mm coating thickness, polyvinylchloride (PVC) - 0.7 mm coating thickness. Note: Practical usage may be shorter than tested permeation time.
Tightly fitting safety goggles (cage goggles) (e.g. EN 166) and face shield.
Wear respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate. Gas filter for gases/vapours of organic compounds (boiling point >65 °C, e.g. EN 14387 Type A).
Chemical-protection suit (e.g. according to EN 14605).
