Get medical advice/attention immediately. Remove victim to fresh air, away from the accident scene. If the subject stops breathing, administer artificial respiration. Take suitable precautions for rescue workers.

Remove contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with a shower immediately. Get medical advice/attention.

Remove contact lenses, if present. Wash immediately with plenty of water for at least 30-60 minutes, opening the eyelids fully. Get medical advice/attention.

Have the subject drink as much water as possible. Get medical advice/attention. Do not induce vomiting unless explicitly authorised by a doctor.

carbon dioxide, foam, powder and water spray.

None in particular.

Do not breathe combustion products.

Use jets of water to cool the containers to prevent product decomposition and the development of substances potentially hazardous for health.

Block the leakage if there is no hazard.

The product must not penetrate into the sewer system or come into contact with surface water or ground water.

Absorb the remainder with inert absorbent material.

Materials: inert absorbent material

Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Do not breathe powders, vapours or mists. Do not eat, drink or smoke during use. Wash hands after use.

Store only in the original container. Store in a ventilated and dry place, far away from sources of ignition. Keep containers well sealed. Keep the product in clearly labelled containers. Avoid overheating. Avoid violent blows.

Do not eat, drink or smoke during use. Wash hands after use.

Keep far away from sources of ignition.

As the use of adequate technical equipment must always take priority over personal protective equipment, make sure that the workplace is well aired through effective local aspiration.

Protect hands with category III work gloves (see standard EN 374). The following should be considered when choosing work glove material: compatibility, degradation, failure time and permeability. The work gloves' resistance to chemical agents should be checked before use, as it can be unpredictable. The gloves' wear time depends on the duration and type of use.

Wear a hood visor or protective visor combined with airtight goggles (see standard EN 166).

If the threshold value (e.g. TLV-TWA) is exceeded for the substance or one of the substances present in the product, use a mask with a type A filter whose class (1, 2 or 3) must be chosen according to the limit of use concentration. (see standard EN 14387). In the presence of gases or vapours of various kinds and/or gases or vapours containing particulate (aerosol sprays, fumes, mists, etc.) combined filters are required. Respiratory protection devices must be used if the technical measures adopted are not suitable for restricting the worker's exposure to the threshold values considered. The protection provided by masks is in any case limited. If the substance considered is odourless or its olfactory threshold is higher than the corresponding TLV-TWA and in the case of an emergency, wear open-circuit compressed air breathing apparatus (in compliance with standard EN 137) or external air-intake breathing apparatus (in compliance with standard EN 138). For a correct choice of respiratory protection device, see standard EN 529.

Wear category III professional long-sleeved overalls and safety footwear (see Regulation 2016/425 and standard EN ISO 20344). Wash body with soap and water after removing protective clothing.

The emissions generated by manufacturing processes, including those generated by ventilation equipment, should be checked to ensure compliance with environmental standards.

The product is stable in normal conditions of use and storage.

There are no particular risks of reaction with other substances in normal conditions of use. FORMIC ACID: Decomposes under the effect of heat. Attacks various types of plastic materials. At room temperature it can release carbon monoxide.

The vapours may also form explosive mixtures with the air. HYDROCHLORIC ACID: Risk of explosion on contact with: alkaline metals, aluminium powder, hydrogen cyanide, alcohol.

May react dangerously with: alkaline hydroxides, alkaline earth hydroxides, aluminium, palladium-carbon, oxidising agents, phosphorus pentoxide, nitric acid, concentrated sulphuric acid, trihydrate thallium trinitrate. May react dangerously if exposed to: heat. Forms explosive mixtures with: air.

Avoid overheating. Avoid bunching of electrostatic charges. Avoid all sources of ignition. FORMIC ACID: Avoid exposure to: light, sources of heat, naked flames.

HYDROCHLORIC ACID: Incompatible with: alkalis, organic substances, strong oxidants, metals. FORMIC ACID: Incompatible with: strong oxidants, strong bases, sulphuric acid, furfuryllic acid.

In the event of thermal decomposition or fire, gases and vapours that are potentially dangerous to health may be released. HYDROCHLORIC ACID: In decomposition develops: hydrochloric acid fumes. FORMIC ACID: May develop: carbon monoxide, hydrogen.
