Provide fresh air. In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical advice.

Symptoms: Agitation, Cough, pain, choking, and breathing difficulties, Headaches and dizziness may occur, Poisoning effect on central nervous system can cause convulsions, laboured breathing and loss of consciousness

Rinse skin with water/shower. In case of skin irritation, consult a physician.

Symptoms: Irritation, Localised redness

Irrigate copiously with clean, fresh water for at least 10 minutes, holding the eyelids apart. In case of eye irritation consult an ophthalmologist.

Symptoms: Irritation, Conjunctival oedema (chemosis) of the eyes

In case of accident or unwellness, seek medical advice immediately (show directions for use or safety data sheet if possible). Observe aspiration hazard if vomiting occurs.

Symptoms: Nausea, Vomiting, Aspiration hazard

water spray, alcohol resistant foam, dry extinguishing powder, BC-powder, carbon dioxide (CO₂)

water jet

Combustible. In case of insufficient ventilation and/or in use, may form flammable/explosive vapour-air mixture. Solvent vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Places which are not ventilated, e.g. unventilated below ground level areas such as trenches, conduits and shafts, are particularly prone to the presence of flammable substances or mixtures. Vapours are heavier than air, spread along floors and form explosive mixtures with air. Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air.

Fight fire with normal precautions from a reasonable distance.

Use personal protective equipment as required. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothes. Do not breathe vapour/spray. Avoidance of ignition sources.

Keep away from drains, surface and ground water. Retain contaminated washing water and dispose of it. If substance has entered a water course or sewer, inform the responsible authority.

Absorb with liquid-binding material (sand, diatomaceous earth, acid- or universal binding agents). Place in appropriate containers for disposal.

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

Provision of sufficient ventilation. Avoid exposure.

Keep container tightly closed. Keep in a cool place.

Wash hands before breaks and after work. Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs. When using do not smoke.

Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.

Wear suitable gloves. Chemical protection gloves are suitable, which are tested according to EN 374. For special purposes, it is recommended to check the resistance to chemicals of the protective gloves mentioned above together with the supplier of these gloves. The times are approximate values from measurements at 22 °C and permanent contact. Increased temperatures due to heated substances, body heat etc. and a reduction of the effective layer thickness by stretching can lead to a considerable reduction of the breakthrough time. If in doubt, contact manufacturer. At an approx. 1.5 times larger / smaller layer thickness, the respective breakthrough time is doubled / halved. The data apply only to the pure substance. When transferred to substance mixtures, they may only be considered as a guide. Type of material: FKM (fluoro rubber). Material thickness: ≥0,4 mm. Breakthrough times of the glove material: >480 minutes (permeation: level 6)

Use safety goggle with side protection.

Respiratory protection necessary at: Aerosol or mist formation. Type: A (against organic gases and vapours with a boiling point of > 65 °C, colour code: Brown).

Take recovery periods for skin regeneration. Preventive skin protection (barrier creams/ointments) is recommended. Flame-retardant protective clothing.

Keep away from drains, surface and ground water.

The material is stable under normal ambient and anticipated storage and handling conditions of temperature and pressure.

It's a reactive substance. Risk of ignition. Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air. If heated Risk of ignition.

Violent reaction with: strong oxidiser, Chlorine, Chromium(VI) oxide, Fluorine, Perchlorates, Permanganates, Peroxides, Nitric acid, Hydrogen peroxide

Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking.
