First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Provide fresh air. In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical advice.
Symptoms: Irritant effects, Cough, pain, choking, and breathing difficulties
After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water.
Symptoms: Causes severe burns, Causes poorly healing wounds
In case of contact with eyes flush immediately with plenty of flowing water for 10 to 15 minutes holding eyelids apart and consult an ophthalmologist. Protect uninjured eye.
Symptoms: Risk of serious damage to eyes, Risk of blindness
Rinse mouth immediately and drink plenty of water. Call a physician immediately.
Symptoms: If swallowed danger of perforation of the esophagus and the stomach (strong corrosive effects).
Immediate Medical Attention
Immediate medical treatment required because corrosive injuries that are not treated are hard to cure. Call a physician immediately.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
co-ordinate firefighting measures to the fire surroundings! water spray, alcohol resistant foam, dry extinguishing powder, BC-powder, carbon dioxide (CO₂)
water jet
Combustible. In case of insufficient ventilation and/or in use, may form flammable/explosive vapourair mixture. Solvent vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Places which are not ventilated, e.g. unventilated below ground level areas such as trenches, conduits and shafts, are particularly prone to the presence of flammable substances or mixtures. Vapours are heavier than air, spread along floors and form explosive mixtures with air. Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air.
Fight fire with normal precautions from a reasonable distance.
Firefighter Protection
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear full chemical protective clothing.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Use personal protective equipment as required. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothes. Do not breathe vapour/spray. Avoidance of ignition sources.
Keep away from drains, surface and ground water. Retain contaminated washing water and dispose of it.
Absorb with liquid-binding material (sand, diatomaceous earth, acid- or universal binding agents).
Materials: sand, diatomaceous earth, acid- or universal binding agents

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Handle and open container with care. Clear contaminated areas thoroughly.
Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed.
Wash hands before breaks and after work. Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs. When using do not smoke.
Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Take precautionary measures against static discharge.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Wear suitable gloves. Chemical protection gloves are suitable, which are tested according to EN 374. Check leak-tightness/impermeability prior to use. For special purposes, it is recommended to check the resistance to chemicals of the protective gloves mentioned above together with the supplier of these gloves. The times are approximate values from measurements at 22 ° C and permanent contact. Increased temperatures due to heated substances, body heat etc. and a reduction of the effective layer thickness by stretching can lead to a considerable reduction of the breakthrough time. If in doubt, contact manufacturer. At an approx. 1.5 times larger / smaller layer thickness, the respective breakthrough time is doubled / halved. The data apply only to the pure substance. When transferred to substance mixtures, they may only be considered as a guide. Type of material: Butyl caoutchouc (butyl rubber). Material thickness: 0,7 mm. Breakthrough times of the glove material: >480 minutes (permeation: level 6).
Use safety goggle with side protection. Wear face protection.
Respiratory protection necessary at: Aerosol or mist formation. Type: E (against acidic gases like sulphur dioxide or hydrogen chloride, colour code: Yellow).
Take recovery periods for skin regeneration. Preventive skin protection (barrier creams/ointments) is recommended.
Keep away from drains, surface and ground water.
