Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.

Symptoms: Difficulty in breathing.

Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention.

Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention.

Do NOT induce vomiting. Get medical attention.

Symptoms: nausea and vomiting

Water spray, carbon dioxide (CO2), dry chemical, alcohol-resistant foam. Water mist may be used to cool closed containers.

No information available.

Flammable. Containers may explode when heated. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back.

Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors.

Should not be released into the environment.

Soak up with inert absorbent material.

Materials: inert absorbent material

Use only under a chemical fume hood. Wear personal protective equipment/face protection. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Use only non-sparking tools. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.

Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Flammables area. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame.

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Remove and wash contaminated clothing and gloves, including the inside, before re-use. Wash hands before breaks and after work.

Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame.

Use only under a chemical fume hood. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. Use explosion-proof electrical/ventilating/lighting/equipment. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Wherever possible, engineering control measures such as the isolation or enclosure of the process, the introduction of process or equipment changes to minimise release or contact, and the use of properly designed ventilation systems, should be adopted to control hazardous materials at source

Protective gloves. Glove material: Nitrile rubber, Neoprene, Natural rubber, PVC. Breakthrough time: See manufacturers recommendations. EU standard: EN 374. Glove comments: (minimum requirement). Inspect gloves before use. Please observe the instructions regarding permeability and breakthrough time which are provided by the supplier of the gloves. Ensure gloves are suitable for the task: Chemical compatibility, Dexterity, Operational conditions, User susceptibility, e.g. sensitisation effects, also take into consideration the specific local conditions under which the product is used, such as the danger of cuts, abrasion. Remove gloves with care avoiding skin contamination.

Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles) (European standard - EN 166)

When workers are facing concentrations above the exposure limit they must use appropriate certified respirators. Large scale/emergency use: Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 136 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced. Small scale/Laboratory use: Maintain adequate ventilation

Wear appropriate protective gloves and clothing to prevent skin exposure
