First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Move to fresh air. Consult a physician if discomfort continues.
Symptoms: Acute: May irritate the respiratory system and cause coughing.
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.
Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician.
Symptoms: May cause eye irritation. May cause redness.
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.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Water spray, dry powder, carbon dioxide or alcohol resistant foam.
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.
Accidental Release Measures

Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas.
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.
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).
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).
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.
