First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
After inhalation: fresh air.
In case of skin contact: Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/ shower.
After eye contact: rinse out with plenty of water. Remove contact lenses.
After swallowing: make victim drink water (two glasses at most).
Immediate Medical Attention
Consult doctor if feeling unwell.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.
For this substance/mixture no limitations of extinguishing agents are given.
Hydrogen chloride gas, Potassium oxides. Not combustible. Ambient fire may liberate hazardous vapours.
Suppress (knock down) gases/vapors/mists with a water spray jet.
Firefighter Protection
In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Avoid inhalation of dusts. Evacuate the danger area, observe emergency procedures, consult an expert.
Do not let product enter drains.
Take up dry. Clean up affected area.

Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Full contact: Material: Nitrile rubber, Minimum layer thickness: 0,11 mm, Break through time: 480 min, Material tested: KCL 741 Dermatril® L. Splash contact: Material: Nitrile rubber, Minimum layer thickness: 0,11 mm, Break through time: 480 min, Material tested: KCL 741 Dermatril® L. This recommendation applies only to the product stated in the safety data sheet, supplied by us and for the designated use. When dissolving in or mixing with other substances and under conditions deviating from those stated in EN 16523-1 please contact the supplier of CE-approved gloves (e.g. KCL GmbH, D-36124 Eichenzell, Internet: www.kcl.de).
Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU). Safety glasses
required when dusts are generated. Our recommendations on filtering respiratory protection are based on the following standards: DIN EN 143, DIN 14387 and other accompanying standards relating to the used respiratory protection system. Recommended Filter type: Filter type P1. The entrepreneur has to ensure that maintenance, cleaning and testing of respiratory protective devices are carried out according to the instructions of the producer. These measures have to be properly documented.
