First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove to fresh air.
Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes.
Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water.
Immediate Medical Attention
If symptoms persist, call a physician.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment. Water spray, carbon dioxide (CO2), dry chemical, alcohol-resistant foam.
No information available.
Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors.
Firefighter Protection
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Ensure adequate ventilation. Use personal protective equipment as required. Avoid dust formation.
Should not be released into the environment. See Section 12 for additional Ecological Information.
Sweep up and shovel into suitable containers for disposal.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Wear personal protective equipment/face protection. Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid dust formation. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place.
When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Provide regular cleaning of equipment, work area and clothing.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
None under normal use conditions.
Protective gloves. Glove material: Natural rubber, Nitrile rubber, Neoprene, PVC. Breakthrough time: See manufacturers recommendations. EU standard: EN 374. (minimum requirement)
Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles) (European standard - EN 166)
No protective equipment is needed under normal use conditions. Large scale/emergency use: Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 136 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced. Recommended Filter type: Particle filter. Small scale/Laboratory use: Maintain adequate ventilation
Wear appropriate protective gloves and clothing to prevent skin exposure. Impervious gloves. Inspect gloves before use. Please observe the instructions regarding permeability and breakthrough time which are provided by the supplier of the gloves. (Refer to manufacturer/supplier for information) Ensure gloves are suitable for the task: Chemical compatibility, Dexterity, Operational conditions, User susceptibility, e.g. sensitisation effects, also take into consideration the specific local conditions under which the product is used, such as the danger of cuts, abrasion. Remove gloves with care avoiding skin contamination.
