First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Move to fresh air. Consult a physician if discomfort continues.

Symptoms: Acute: May irritate the respiratory system and cause coughing.

Skin contact

Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated clothes and shoes. Consult a physician if discomfort continues.

Symptoms: May irritate the skin.

Eye contact

Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician.

Symptoms: May cause eye irritation. May cause redness.

Ingestion

Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water. Consult a physician.

Symptoms: May irritate the mouth and throat. Small amounts will leave taste in mouth, larger amounts may cause nausea and vomiting.

Immediate Medical Attention

Severe cases of exposure should receive prompt medical attention.

Medical Treatment

Treat symptomatically.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Water spray, dry powder, carbon dioxide or alcohol resistant foam.

Specific hazards

In case of fire, toxic or irritating fumes or vapours may be formed. Contact with metals may form hydrogen gas which is flammable and can result in explosion.

Firefighter Protection

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Environmental

Should not be released into the environment.

Cleanup methods

place in a chemical waste container. After cleaning, flush away traces with water.

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Do not breathe vapours or spray mist. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Take necessary personal protective precautions before using this product. Keep away from heat and flame.

Storage

Store in a cool place. Keep container tightly closed in a dry well-ventilated place. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.

Fire prevention

Keep away from heat and flame.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas.

Hands

Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique (without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands. The selected protective gloves should satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.

Eyes

Tightly fitting safety goggles. Face shield (8-inch minimum). Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).

Respiratory

Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face respirator with multi-purpose combination (US) or type ABEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).

Skin/Body

Complete suit protecting against chemicals. The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.
