First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Obtain medical advice if there are persistent symptoms.

Skin contact

Remove contaminated clothing and shoes without delay. Wash immediately with plenty of water. Do not reuse contaminated clothing without laundering. Get medical attention if pain or irritation persists after washing or if signs and symptoms of overexposure appear.

Eye contact

Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention immediately.

Ingestion

If swallowed, call a physician immediately. Only induce vomiting at the instruction of a physician. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

Immediate Medical Attention

Obtain medical attention immediately (eyes). Get medical attention if pain or irritation persists after washing or if signs and symptoms of overexposure appear (skin). Call a physician immediately (ingestion). Obtain medical advice if there are persistent symptoms (inhalation).

Medical Treatment

Not applicable.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide or dry chemical to extinguish fires. Water stream may be ineffective.

Unsuitable media

full water jet.

Instructions

Keep containers cool by spraying with water if exposed to fire.

Firefighter Protection

Firefighters, and others exposed, wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear full firefighting protective clothing. See SDS Section 8 (Exposure Controls/Personal Protection).

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Where exposure level is known, wear approved respirator suitable for level of exposure. Where exposure level is not known, wear approved, positive pressure, self-contained respirator. In addition to the protective clothing/equipment in Section 8 (Exposure Controls/Personal Protection), wear impermeable boots.

Environmental

None known.

Cleanup methods

sweep up and place in a waste disposal container. Flush spill area with water.

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. - No smoking. Keep container tightly closed. Ground/Bond container and receiving equipment. Use explosion-proof electrical, ventilating, lighting and other equipment. Use only non-sparking tools. Take precautionary measures against static discharge. Wear protective gloves and eye/face protection. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace. Obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Avoid breathing vapors or spray mist.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated place and keep container tightly closed.

Hygiene

Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace.

Fire prevention

Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. - No smoking. Ground/Bond container and receiving equipment. Use explosion-proof electrical, ventilating, lighting and other equipment. Use only non-sparking tools. Take precautionary measures against static discharge.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Utilize a closed system process where feasible. Where this material is not used in a closed system, good enclosure and local exhaust ventilation should be provided to control exposure when spraying or curing at elevated temperatures. Provide enhanced general ventilation by mechanical means. Local exhaust ventilation - efficiency of at least 90-97%. Provide extract ventilation to points where emissions occur.

Hands

Wear protective gloves. Recommendations are listed below. Other protective materials may be used based on user's own risk assessment. Barrier creams may help to protect the exposed areas of the skin, they should however not be applied once exposure has occurred. Replace gloves immediately when torn or any change in appearance (dimension, color, flexibility etc.) is noticed. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Regulation (EC) 2016/425 and standard EN ISO 374-1:2016. Gloves for repeated or prolonged exposure - non exhaustive list: Nitrile rubber (NBR), thickness: > 0.38 mm, break through time: > 480 min. Gloves for short term exposure/splash protection - non exhaustive list: Nitrile rubber (NBR), thickness: 0.12 mm, break through time: up to 120 min. The chemical resistance depends on the type of product and amount of product on the glove. Therefore gloves need to be changed when in contact with chemicals. Not suitable gloves - non exhaustive list: Natural rubber (NRL), thickness: 0.12 mm. Due to many conditions (e.g. temperature, abrasion) the practical usage of a chemical protective glove in practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined through testing. Use PE gloves as under gloves for difficult situations like for instance: high exposure, unknown composition or unknown properties of the chemicals.

Eyes

Prevent eye and skin contact. Provide eye wash fountain and safety shower in close proximity to points of potential exposure. Wear eye/face protection such as chemical splash proof goggles or face shield. Use eye protection according to EN 166, designed to protect against liquid splashes.

Respiratory

For operations where inhalation exposure can occur use an approved respirator. Recommendations are listed below. Other protective respiratory equipment may be used based on user's own risk assessment. Recommended: Full Face Mask with organic vapor cartridge, Type A filter (BP >65°C). Wear a respirator providing a minimum efficiency of 90%.

Skin/Body

Prevent contamination of skin or clothing when removing protective equipment. Wear impermeable gloves and suitable protective clothing. Barrier creams may be used in conjunction with the gloves to provide additional skin protection.
