First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Take the person into the fresh air and keep him warm, let him rest; if there is difficulty in breathing, medical advice is required.

Symptoms: irritates the respiratory tract

Skin contact

In the event of contact with the skin, preferably wash with a cleanser based on polyethylene glycol or with plenty of warm water and soap. Consult a doctor in the event of a skin reaction.

Symptoms: may trigger sensitisation of the skin

Eye contact

Hold the eyes open and rinse with preferably lukewarm water for a sufficiently long period of time (at least 10 minutes). Contact an ophthalmologist.

Ingestion

DO NOT induce vomiting. Wash/clean mouth with water. Medical advice is required.

Immediate Medical Attention

Medical advice is required in the event of difficulty breathing, skin reaction, or ingestion.

Medical Treatment

Treatment of acute irritation or bronchial constriction is primarily symptomatic. Extended medical treatment may be required depending on the degree of exposure and the severity of the symptoms.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Carbon dioxide (CO2), Foam, extinguishing powder, in cases of larger fires, water spray should be used.

Unsuitable media

High volume water jet

Specific hazards

Fire in vicinity poses risk of pressure build-up and rupture.

Instructions

Containers at risk from fire should be cooled with water and, if possible, removed from the danger area.

Firefighter Protection

In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Put on protective equipment (see section 8). Ensure adequate ventilation/exhaust extraction. Keep unauthorized persons away.

Environmental

Do not allow to escape into waterways, wastewater or soil.

Cleanup methods

After approx. one hour transfer to waste container and do not seal (evolution of CO2!). Keep damp in a safe ventilated area for several days.

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Avoid contact with skin and eyes and the inhalation of vapor. The personal protective measures described in section 8 must be observed. The precautions required in the handling of isocyanates must be taken.

Storage

Keep container tightly closed and dry. Further information on the storage conditions which must be observed to preserve quality can be found in our product information sheet.

Hygiene

Keep away from foodstuffs, drinks and tobacco. Wash hands before breaks and at end of work and use skin-protecting ointment. Keep working clothes separately. Take off all contaminated clothing immediately.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Hands

Suitable materials for safety gloves; EN 374: Butyl rubber, nitrile rubber, chloroprene rubber (neoprene). Notice: suitable materials that provide sufficient protection for industrial cleaning with Aprotic Polar Solvents (meeting the IUPAC definition): butyl rubber. When prolonged or frequently repeated contact may occur, a glove with a protection class of 5 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 240 minutes according to EN374) is recommended. When only brief contact is expected, a glove with a protection class of 3 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 60 minutes according to EN374) is recommended. Glove thickness alone is not a good indicator of the level of protection a glove provides against a chemical substance as this level of protection is also highly dependent of the specific composition of the material a glove is fabricated from. The thickness of the glove must depending on model and type of material, generally be more than 0,35 mm to offer sufficient protection for prolonged and frequent contact with the substance. As an exception to this general rule it is known that multilayer laminate gloves may offer prolonged protection at thicknesses less than 0,35 mm. Other glove materials with a thickness of less than 0,35 mm may offer sufficient protection when only brief contact is expected. For solvent free products: Example: Polychloroprene - CR: thickness >=0,5mm; breakthrough time >=480min. Nitrile rubber - NBR: thickness >=0,35mm; breakthrough time >=480min. Butyl rubber - IIR: thickness >=0,5mm; breakthrough time >=480min. Fluorinated rubber - FKM: thickness >=0,4mm; breakthrough time >=480min. Recommendation: contaminated gloves should be disposed of.

Eyes

Use safety glasses with side shields, conforming to EN 166.

Respiratory

Respiratory protection required in insufficiently ventilated working areas and during spraying. An air-fed mask, or for short periods of work, a combination of charcoal filter and particulate filter A2-P2 (EN529) is recommended.

Skin/Body

Use protective clothing (chemically resistant). In case of hypersensitivity of the skin it is inadvisable to work with the product.
