First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Ensure supply of fresh air. Remove affected person from danger area. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration. Seek medical advice immediately.
Wash off immediately with soap and water. Seek medical advice immediately.
Separate eyelids, wash the eyes thoroughly with water (15 min.). Seek medical advice immediately.
Call in a physician immediately and show him the Safety Data Sheet. Rinse out mouth and give plenty of water to drink. Do not induce vomiting - aspiration hazard.
Immediate Medical Attention
Seek medical advice immediately.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Dry powder, Foam, Carbon dioxide, Dry chemical extinguisher
Full water jet
In case of combustion evolution of dangerous gases possible.
Cool endangered containers with water spray jet.
Firefighter Protection
Do not inhale explosion and/or combustion gases. In case of combustion use a suitable breathing apparatus. Wear full protective suit.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Keep away sources of ignition. Ensure adequate ventilation. Use breathing apparatus if exposed to vapours/dust/aerosol. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Use personal protective clothing.
Prevent spread over a wide area (e.g. by containment or oil barriers). Do not discharge into the drains/surface waters/groundwater. Do not discharge into the subsoil/soil. Retain and dispose of contaminated wash water.
Take up with absorbent material (eg sand, kieselguhr, universal binder). Do not pick up with the help of saw-dust or other combustible substances.
Materials: sand, kieselguhr, universal binder

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Provide good ventilation of working area (local exhaust ventilation if necessary). Avoid formation of aerosols. Avoid impact, friction and electro-static loading; risk of ignition!. Use explosion-proof apparatus and fittings. Keep container tightly closed. Smoking, eating and drinking shall be prohibited in application area.
Keep in original packaging, tightly closed. Storage rooms must be properly ventilated. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Provide solvent-resistant and impermeable floor. Store only in the open air or in explosion-proof rooms.
Smoking, eating and drinking shall be prohibited in application area.
Keep away from sources of heat and ignition. No smoking. Take precautionary measures against static discharge. Use explosion-proof equipment/fittings and non-sparking tools. Keep away from combustible material. Wear shoes with conductive soles.
