First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Remove casualty to fresh air and keep warm and at rest. In case of respiratory tract irritation, consult a physician.

Skin contact

Remove contaminated, saturated clothing immediately. Wash off any skin contamination immediately. When in doubt or if symptoms are observed, get medical advice.

Symptoms: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause removal of natural fat from the skin resulting in dermatitis (skin inflammation).

Eye contact

Rinse immediately carefully and thoroughly with eye-bath or water. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If eye irritation persists: Consult an ophthalmologist.

Symptoms: Conjunctivitis.

Ingestion

Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person or a person with cramps. Call a POISON CENTER.

Symptoms: May cause headaches, nausea, vomiting and gastrointestinal disturbances.

Immediate Medical Attention

Treat symptomatically. Symptoms may develop several hours following exposure; medical observation therefore necessary for at least 48 hours.

Medical Treatment

Treat symptomatically. Monitor respiration. Apply cortisone spray at early stage. After swallowing: activated charcoal (20-60 g) and sodium sulfate (1 tablespoon/250 ml) should reduce absorption.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

ABC-powder, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Dry sand, Nitrogen

Unsuitable media

Full water jet.

Specific hazards

Flammable liquids. Risk of ignition. Causes eye irritation. The product causes narcotic-like effects. Vapour can form explosive mixtures with air. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases.

Instructions

Co-ordinate fire-fighting measures to the fire surroundings. In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes.

Firefighter Protection

Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical protective clothing.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Remove victim out of the danger area. First Aid, decontamination, treatment of symptoms.

Environmental

Do not allow to enter into surface water or drains.

Cleanup methods

Take up mechanically, placing in appropriate containers for disposal. Absorb with liquid-binding material.

Materials: sand, diatomaceous earth, acid- or universal binding agents

Related Products

07

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Use personal protective equipment as required. Avoid breathing vapours. Avoid contact with eyes and skin.

Storage

Keep container tightly closed and in a well-ventilated place. Keep away from sources of heat (e.g. hot surfaces), sparks and open flames. Take action to prevent static discharges. Protect from sunlight.

Hygiene

Wash hands before breaks and after work. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Provide eye shower and label its location conspicuously.

Fire prevention

Usual measures for fire prevention. Have fire-extinguishers in readiness before opening containers. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Technical measures and the application of suitable work processes have priority over personal protection equipment. If handled uncovered, arrangements with local exhaust ventilation have to be used.

Hands

When handling with chemical substances, protective gloves must be worn with the CE-label including the four control digits. Recommended glove articles DIN-/EN-Norms EN ISO 374. By short-term hand contact: Suitable material: CR (polychloroprene, chloroprene rubber), Thickness of the glove material: 0,75 mm, Breakthrough time: < 30 min, Recommended glove articles: VWR 112-2308. By long-term hand contact: Suitable material: Butyl caoutchouc (butyl rubber), Thickness of the glove material: 0,50 mm, Breakthrough time: > 480 min, Recommended glove articles: VWR 112-1570.

Eyes

Eye glasses with side protection DIN-/EN-Norms EN 166. Recommendation: VWR 111-0432

Respiratory

Respiratory protection necessary at: aerosol or mist formation. Suitable respiratory protection apparatus: Full-/half-/quarter-face masks (EN 136/140). Recommendation: VWR 111-0206. Suitable material: AXP3. Recommendation: VWR 111-8932.

Skin/Body

Wear suitable protective clothing. When handling with chemical substances, protective clothing with CE-labels including the four control digits must be worn.
