First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
After inhalation: fresh air.
After skin contact: wash off with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing.
Symptoms: Drying-out effect resulting in rough and chapped skin., Dermatitis
After eye contact: rinse out with plenty of water.
After swallowing: caution if victim vomits. Risk of aspiration! Keep airways free. Pulmonary failure possible after aspiration of vomit. Call a physician immediately.
Immediate Medical Attention
Call a physician immediately.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Carbon dioxide (CO2), Foam, Dry powder
For this substance/mixture no limitations of extinguishing agents are given.
Combustible. Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Forms explosive mixtures with air at elevated temperatures. Development of hazardous combustion gases or vapours possible in the event of fire.
Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water spray.
Firefighter Protection
Stay in danger area only with self-contained breathing apparatus. Prevent skin contact by keeping a safe distance or by wearing suitable protective clothing.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Avoid substance contact. Do not breathe vapours, aerosols. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate the danger area, observe emergency procedures, consult an expert.
Do not empty into drains. Risk of explosion.
Collect, bind, and pump off spills. Take up with liquid-absorbent material (e.g. Chemizorb®). Clean up affected area.
Materials: liquid-absorbent material (e.g. Chemizorb®)

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Observe label precautions.
Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Recommended storage temperature see product label.
Immediately change contaminated clothing. Apply preventive skin protection. Wash hands and face after working with substance.
Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Take precautionary measures against static discharge.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Technical measures and appropriate working operations should be given priority over the use of personal protective equipment.
full contact: Glove material: Viton (R), Glove thickness: 0,70 mm, Break through time: > 480 min; splash contact: Glove material: Nitrile rubber, Glove thickness: 0,40 mm, Break through time: > 30 min.
