First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove to fresh air. Get medical attention immediately if symptoms occur.
Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention immediately if symptoms occur.
Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention.
Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
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.
Water.
Reacts violently with water. 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
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 ingestion and inhalation. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Avoid dust formation.
Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Store under an inert atmosphere.
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. 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
Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Wherever possible, engineering control measures such as the isolation or enclosure of the process, the introduction of process or equipment changes to minimise release or contact, and the use of properly designed ventilation systems, should be adopted to control hazardous materials at source
Protective gloves. Glove material: Natural rubber, Nitrile rubber, Neoprene, PVC. Breakthrough time: See manufacturers recommendations. EU standard: EN 374 (minimum requirement). 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 compatability, 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.
Goggles (European standard - EN 166)
When workers are facing concentrations above the exposure limit they must use appropriate certified respirators. To protect the wearer, respiratory protective equipment must be the correct fit and be used and maintained properly. 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: Particulates filter conforming to EN 143. Small scale/Laboratory use: Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149:2001 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced. Recommended half mask:- Particle filtering: EN149:2001. When RPE is used a face piece Fit Test should be conducted
