First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove contaminated, saturated clothing immediately. After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water and soap. In case of skin reactions, consult a physician.
Symptoms: Contact with skin can cause burns
After contact with the eyes, rinse with water with the eyelids open for a sufficient length of time, then consult an ophthalmologist immediately.
Symptoms: Contact with eyes can cause burns
If accidentally ingested, seek immediate medical attention, NEVER induce vomiting.
Symptoms: ingestion can cause internal damage
Immediate Medical Attention
If accidentally ingested, seek immediate medical attention. If internal damage or burns occur, immediate medical assistance is required. In case of doubt or when symptoms of feeling unwell persist, get medical attention.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Extinguisher powder or CO2. In case of more serious fires, also alcohol-resistant foam and water spray.
Do not use a direct stream of water to extinguish. In the presence of electrical voltage, you cannot use water or foam as extinguishing media.
Fire can cause thick, black smoke. As a result of thermal decomposition, dangerous products can form: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide. Exposure to combustion or decomposition products can be harmful to your health.
Use water to cool tanks, cisterns, or containers close to the heat source or fire. Take wind direction into account.
Firefighter Protection
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical protective clothing. Do not inhale explosion and combustion gases.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Clear spills immediately. Remove persons to safety. Eliminate possible ignition points and ventilate the area. No smoking. Avoid breathing fumes.
Dangerous product for the environment. Do not allow to enter into surface water or drains. Retain contaminated washing water and dispose it.
The contaminated area should be cleaned up immediately with: Water. Soak up inert absorbent and dispose as waste requiring special attention. Absorb with liquid-binding material (sand, diatomaceous earth, acid- or universal binding agents).
Materials: Water, inert absorbent, liquid-binding material (sand, diatomaceous earth, acid- or universal binding agents)

Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Tested protective gloves must be worn EN ISO 374. The quality of the protective gloves resistant to chemicals must be chosen as a function of the specific working place concentration and quantity of hazardous substances.
Eye glasses with side protection Face protection shield EN 166
If technical exhaust or ventilation measures are not possible or insufficient, respiratory protection must be worn. The filter class must be suitable for the maximum contaminant concentration (gas/vapour/aerosol/particulates) that may arise when handling the product. If the concentration is exceeded, self-contained breathing apparatus must be used. Particle filter device (EN 143).
Full protection suit Wash contaminated clothing prior to re-use.
