First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Call a physician immediately. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration.
Symptoms: Cough, Dyspnoea, Headache, Vertigo, Dizziness
After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. In case of skin reactions, consult a physician.
Symptoms: Irritation, Allergic reactions
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). In case of accident or unwellness, seek medical advice immediately (show directions for use or safety data sheet if possible).
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.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
water spray, alcohol resistant foam, dry extinguishing powder, BC-powder, carbon dioxide (CO₂)
water jet
Ingredients of the mixture combustible. The product itself does not burn. Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air.
co-ordinate firefighting measures to the fire surroundings!
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.
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

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Handle and open container with care. Avoid exposure. Clear contaminated areas thoroughly.
Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed. May cause decomposition by long-term light influence. Store locked up.
Wash hands before breaks and after work.
Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.
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: 0,4 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: ABEK (combined filters against gases and vapours, colour code: Brown/Grey/Yellow/Green).
Take recovery periods for skin regeneration. Preventive skin protection (barrier creams/ointments) is recommended.
Keep away from drains, surface and ground water.
