Formic acid 30 %, pure

Provide fresh air. In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical advice.

Symptoms: Dyspnoea

After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water.

Symptoms: Corrosion

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. Rinse mouth with water (only if the person is conscious). Call a physician immediately.

Symptoms: If swallowed danger of perforation of the esophagus and the stomach (strong corrosive effects).

co-ordinate firefighting measures to the fire surroundings! water spray, alcohol resistant foam, dry extinguishing powder, BC-powder, carbon dioxide (CO₂)

water jet

Combustible.

Fight fire with normal precautions from a reasonable distance.

Use personal protective equipment as required. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothes. Do not breathe vapour/spray.

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). Place in appropriate containers for disposal.

Materials: sand, diatomaceous earth, acid- or universal binding agents

Handle and open container with care. Clear contaminated areas thoroughly.

Keep container tightly closed.

Wash hands before breaks and after work. Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs.

Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.

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: CR: chloroprene (chlorobutadiene) rubber, FKM (fluoro rubber), Butyl caoutchouc (butyl rubber). Material thickness: 0,5 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).

Keep away from drains, surface and ground water.

The material is stable under normal ambient and anticipated storage and handling conditions of temperature and pressure.

Substance or mixture corrosive to metals. If heated: Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air.

Danger of explosion: Mixtures of sodium hypochlorite, Metal catalyst, Nitro compound, Hydrogen peroxide. Exothermic reaction with: Alkali hydroxide (caustic alkali), Strong alkali, Oxidisers, Nitric acid, Sulphuric acid, concentrated

There are no specific conditions known which have to be avoided.
