Rinse mouth thoroughly. Promptly get affected person to drink large volumes of water to dilute the swallowed chemical. Provide rest, warmth and fresh air. Get medical attention.

Symptoms: May cause discomfort if swallowed. May cause stomach pain or vomiting. Nausea, vomiting.

Carbon dioxide (CO2). Foam. Water spray, fog or mist.

Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.

In case of fire, toxic and corrosive gases may be formed. FLAMMABLE.

Avoid breathing fire vapours. Keep up-wind to avoid fumes. Ventilate closed spaces before entering them. Fight advanced or massive fires from safe distance or protected location. If possible, fight fire from protected position. Be aware of risk of fire re-starting, and risk of explosion. Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. Be aware of danger for fire to re-start. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety device or any discoloration of tanks due to fire. Stay away from ends of tanks. Remove pressurised gas cylinders from the immediate vicinity. Water spray should be used to cool containers. Containers close to fire should be removed immediately or cooled with water.

Shut off any leaks without personal risk. Attempt to disperse any vapour cloud or direct product flow into a safe area by means of fog sprays. Monitor the area for vapours.

Inform Authorities if large amounts are involved. Notify the Competent Authority for exceptionally large spillages where a danger to health of the general public or the environment may occur.

Do not discharge onto the ground or into water courses. Prevent entry into drains. Avoid discharge to the aquatic environment. Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground. The product should not be dumped in nature but collected and delivered according to agreement with the local authorities.

Use Vermiculite, sand or earth or earth to absorb spill and place in containers for disposal as decribed in section 13.

Materials: Vermiculite, sand or earth

Avoid spilling, skin and eye contact. Provide good ventilation. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Wear PPE.

Store in tightly closed original container in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep in original container.

Do not eat, drink or smoke where this material is being used. Wash thoroughly after using this product. Air dry any contaminated clothing before washing. Do not use this material until all safety precautions have been read.

Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame.

Use local exhaust ventilation (LEV) or other engineering controls to maintain airborne concentration levels below any workplace exposure limits (WEL) or other statutory limits, guidance or recommendations. Ensure levels of emissions from LEV or work process equipment are within the requirements of local and national environmental protection legislation. In some cases fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to process equipment may be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels. Keep the gas/mist/vapour or dust concentrations below any lower explosion limits. Use explosion-proof electrical equipment if airborne dust levels are high.

Chemical resistant impervious gloves which comply with EN374 or another approved standard and are CE-marked should be used when handling the products or where exposure has been identified in the risk assessment. The supplier should advise on the gloves performance against permeation, penetration and degradation in use with this product as breakthrough times may vary depending on the use, source and thickness. Other factors should be taken into consideration such as other chemicals in the environment, physical requirements and the material dexterity required for the task to be carried out. The gloves should be compatible to the worker, the task to be carried out and other personal protective equipment (PPE) to be worn. Gloves should be changed regularly to prevent excessive moisture which can lead to skin irritation. Facilities should be provided for the disposal of contaminated and non-reusable protective gloves. Contaminated PPE should be disposed of as hazardous waste in accordance with local and national regulations. Where gloves are to be reused they should be washed before removing to prevent chemical contamination on the inside of the glove. Recommended; 60 minute or greater breakthrough time; greater than 8 mil thickness; in compliance with EN374; nitrile gloves.

Eye protection should be used when handling this product and where a risk assessment demonstrates the possibility of exposure to the eye. In case of any likelihood of liquid splashes to the face a face shield (which allows the use of chemical goggles) or a full face respirator should be used to protect the face and eyes. Eye wash stations should be provided in or close to the work area. Recommended; tightly fitted safety goggles with side shields in compliance with EN166.

Respiratory protection should be worn where indicated in the risk assessment that there is a likelihood of respiratory exposure and or where the WEL may be exceeded. Respiratory protections should always be considered in a risk assessment particularly were an inhalation exposure risk exists after other reasonable controls have been put into place such as engineering measures. Respiratory protection should also be worn in case of emergency, in the event of the failure of other controls or where controls and other means are not reasonable practical. The selection of respiratory protective equipment (RPE) should be based on the known or anticipated airborne concentration taking into consideration any WEL’s. RPE should be suitable for the intended use taking into consideration the hazard and its adequacy to reduce exposure. RPE should be suitable to the wearer, task and the environment in which it is to be used. Other factors should be taken into consideration such as other chemicals in the work area, any physical requirements, expected wear time, work rate and vision requirements of the wearer. If there is more than one hazard present the highest protection factor required should be used. RPE should be CE-marked, of an approved type or standard approved by the HSE or other relevant National Health and Safety Authority. When calculating the protection factor always chose an Assigned Protection Factor (APR) above the calculated value. The RPE supplier should advise on the required APF required under the risk assessment. RPE should be properly stored and cleaned to ensure it remains effective. Regular checks and maintenance should be carried our as well as any suitable testing where it is to be repeatedly used. RPE should be used by trained persons and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, poor and in proper use may reduce effectiveness. Information on training and maintenance should be provided by the RPE supplier. Recommended for less than 1 hour continuous wear; half face mask in compliance with EN 140 or full face mask in compliance with EN136. Particle filter in compliance with EN143, filter type P2 or for gas/mists/vapour in compliance with EN14387, filter type A2.

Suitable full body clothing should be worn to prevent any possibility of skin contact for example overalls. A rubber apron and boots should be worn in case of the likelihood of liquid splashes.

Emissions from LEV and or workplace process equipment should be checked to ensure they are within the requirements of local and national environmental protection legislation. In some cases fume scrubbers, filter or engineering modifications to process equipment may be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels. Residues and containers should be disposed of as hazardous waste in accordance with local and national provisions. Accidental release or spillage into the environment should be prevented. Contaminated PPE or components or materials used to clean or disinfect PPE should be disposed of as hazardous waste.
