First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air, seek medical attention. Immediately administer a corticosteroid from a controlled/metered dose inhaler.

Skin contact

Immediately wash thoroughly with plenty of water, apply sterile dressings, consult a skin specialist.

Eye contact

Immediately wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open, consult an eye specialist.

Ingestion

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).

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

water spray, dry powder, foam, carbon dioxide

Specific hazards

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.

Instructions

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.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Ensure adequate ventilation. Keep people away and stay on the upwind side. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing.

Small spill

For residues: Pick up with suitable absorbent material (e.g. sand, sawdust, general-purpose binder, kieselguhr).

Large spill

For large amounts: Pump off product.

Environmental

Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater.

Cleanup methods

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

Handling

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.

Storage

Segregate from acids and acid forming substances. Containers should be stored tightly sealed in a dry place.

Hygiene

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.

Fire prevention

Prevent electrostatic charge - sources of ignition should be kept well clear - fire extinguishers should be kept handy.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Adequate ventilation systems.

Hands

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.

Eyes

Tightly fitting safety goggles (cage goggles) (e.g. EN 166) and face shield.

Respiratory

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).

Skin/Body

Chemical-protection suit (e.g. according to EN 14605).
