Inhalation

Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air, seek medical attention.

Skin contact

Wash thoroughly with soap and water

Eye contact

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

Ingestion

Immediately rinse mouth and then drink 200-300 ml of water, seek medical attention.

Immediate Medical Attention

seek medical attention.

Medical Treatment

Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions)

05

water jet

Specific hazards

The product is combustible. Cool endangered containers with water-spray.

Instructions

Fight fire from maximum distance. Extend fire extinguishing measures to the surroundings.

Firefighter Protection

Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus. Special protective equipment for firefighters

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Shut off or stop source of leak. Shut off or stop released substance/product under safe conditions.

Environmental

Discharge into the environment must be avoided.

07

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Prevent contact with air/oxygen (formation of peroxide). Ensure thorough ventilation of stores and work areas. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

Storage

Containers should be stored tightly sealed in a dry place.

Hygiene

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

Fire prevention

Take precautionary measures against static discharges.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

The surveillance of the workplace by exposure measurements may be necessary, in order to prove the efficiency of safety measures, for example ventilation or the need of respiratory protection.

Hands

Chemical resistant protective gloves (EN ISO 374-1) Suitable materials also with prolonged, direct contact (Recommended: Protective index 6, corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to EN ISO 374-1): nitrile rubber (NBR) - 0.4 mm coating thickness Manufacturer's directions for use should be observed because of great diversity of types. Supplementary note: The specifications are based on tests, literature data and information of glove manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions (e.g. temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined through testing.

Eyes

Safety glasses with side-shields (frame goggles) (e.g. EN 166)

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

Body protection must be chosen depending on activity and possible exposure, e.g. apron, protecting boots, chemical-protection suit (according to EN 14605 in case of splashes or EN ISO 13982 in case of dust).

Environmental

All appropriate measures must be taken to prevent the release of this product to the environment and to limit the dispersion of any release when it occurs. Suitable risk management measures should be in place.
