First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
After inhalation: fresh air. Immediately call in physician. If breathing stops: immediately apply artificial respiration, if necessary also oxygen.
After contact with skin: rinse out with polyethylene glycol 400 or a mixture of polyethylene glycol 300/ethanol 2:1 and wash with plenty of water. If neither is available wash with plenty of water. Immediately take off contaminated clothing. Call a physician immediately.
After eye contact: rinse out with plenty of water. Immediately call in ophthalmologist. Remove contact lenses.
If swallowed: give water to drink (two glasses at most). Seek medical advice immediately. In exceptional cases only, if medical care is not available within one hour, induce vomiting (only in persons who are wide awake and fully conscious), administer activated charcoal (20 - 40 g in a 10% slurry) and consult a doctor as quickly as possible. Do not attempt to neutralise.
Immediate Medical Attention
Immediately call in physician. Call a physician immediately. Immediately call in ophthalmologist. Seek medical advice immediately.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Water, Foam, Carbon dioxide (CO2), 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 on intense heating. Development of hazardous combustion gases or vapours possible in the event of fire.
Remove container from danger zone and cool with water. Suppress (knock down) gases/vapours/mists with a water spray jet.
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
Evacuate the danger area, observe emergency procedures, consult an expert.
Do not let product enter drains.
Take up carefully with liquid-absorbent material (e.g. Chemizorb®).
Materials: liquid-absorbent material (e.g. Chemizorb®)

Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Material : butyl-rubber, Break through time : 480 min, Glove thickness : 0,3 mm, Protective index : Full contact, Manufacturer : Butoject® (KCL 897 / Aldrich Z677647, Size M); Material : Nitrile rubber, Break through time : 120 min, Glove thickness : 0,11 mm, Protective index : Splash contact, Manufacturer : Dermatril® (KCL 740 / Aldrich Z677272, Size M). Remarks : Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique (without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of Regulation (EU) 2016/425 and the standard EN 374 derived from it. If used in solution, or mixed with other substances, and under conditions which differ from EN 374, contact the supplier of the CE approved gloves. This recommendation is advisory only and must be evaluated by an industrial hygienist and safety officer familiar with the specific situation of anticipated use by our customers. It should not be construed as offering an approval for any specific use scenario.
Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU). Tightly fitting safety goggles
required when vapours/aerosols are generated. Our recommendations on filtering respiratory protection are based on the following standards: DIN EN 143, DIN 14387 and other accompanying standards relating to the used respiratory protection system. Recommended Filter type: Filter type ABEK. The entrepeneur has to ensure that maintenance, cleaning and testing of respiratory protective devices are carried out according to the instructions of the producer. These measures have to be properly documented.
