First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Move the exposed person to fresh air at once. Rinse nose and mouth with water. When breathing is difficult, properly trained personnel may assist affected person by administering oxygen. If breathing stops, DO NOT USE MOUTH TO MOUTH RESCUSITATION !!! - appropriate mechanical means must be used. Keep the affected person warm and a treat.
Symptoms: No adverse effects are anticipated from inhalation.
Wash with water and soap and rinse thoroughly. Remove affected person from source of contamination. Remove contaminated clothing immediately and wash skin with soap and water.
Symptoms: Skin irritation. Prolonged contact may cause redness, irritation and dry skin.
Rinse opened eye for several minutes under running water. Immediately flush with plenty of water for up to 15 minutes. Remove any contact lenses and open eyes wide apart.
Symptoms: Irritation, burning, lachrymation, blurred vision after liquid splash. May cause blurred vision and serious eye damage.
Promptly get affected person to drink large volumes of water to dilute the swallowed chemical. Rinse nose, mouth and throat with water. DO NOT induce vomiting if swallowed chemical is dissolved in petroleum-based material. If vomiting occurs, keep head low so that stomach content doesn't get into the lungs. NEVER MAKE AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON VOMIT OR DRINK FLUIDS!
Symptoms: May cause discomfort if swallowed. May cause stomach pain or vomiting.
Immediate Medical Attention
Get prompt medical attention. Get medical attention promptly if symptoms occur after washing. To hospital or eyespecialist. Get medical attention immediately!
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Extinguish with alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide, dry powder or water fog. Use fire-extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding materials.
Water with full jet. Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.
HIGHLY FLAMMABLE! Heat may cause the containers to explode. May travel considerable distance to source of ignition and flash back. Vapour explosion and poison hazard indoors, outdoors and in sewers. The product is flammable, and heating may generate vapours which may form explosive vapour/air mixtures.
Avoid breathing fire vapours. Keep up-wind to avoid fumes. Use water to keep fire exposed containers cool and disperse vapours. Cool containers exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out. Ventilate closed spaces before entering them.
Firefighter Protection
Self contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
In case of spills, beware of slippery floors and surfaces.
Inform Authorities if large amounts are involved.
Do not allow to enter sewers/ surface or ground water. Collect and dispose of spillage as indicated in section 13. Do not discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground. Avoid release to the environment. Do not allow ANY environmental contamination.
Absorb with liquid-binding material (sand, diatomite, acid binders, universal binders, sawdust).
Materials: non-combustible, absorbent material

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Do not handle broken packages without protective equipment. Avoid inhalation of vapours/spray and contact with skin and eyes. Do not use confined spaces without adequate ventilation and/or respirator. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Observe good chemical hygiene practices.
Store in a cool location. Keep container tightly sealed. Store in cool, dry conditions in well sealed receptacles. Protect from freezing.
Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Observe good chemical hygiene practices.
Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Static electricity and formation of sparks must be prevented. Contaminated rags and cloths must be put in fireproof containers for disposal.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Use engineering controls to reduce air contamination to permissible exposure level. Provide adequate ventilation, including appropriate local extraction to ensure that the defined occupational exposure limit is not exceeded. Observe Workplace Exposure Limits and minimise the risk of inhalation of vapours. Explosion-proof general and local exhaust ventilation.
Protective gloves. The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation. Due to missing tests no recommendation to the glove material can be given for the product/ the preparation/ the chemical mixture. Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation. Protective gloves must be used if there is a risk of direct contact or splash. Use protective gloves made of: Nitrile. or Viton rubber (fluor rubber). The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. As the product is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of the glove material can not be calculated in advance and has therefore to be checked prior to the application. The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.
Tightly sealed goggles. Wear splash-proof eye goggles to prevent any possibility of eye contact. Contact lenses should not be worn when working with this chemical!
If ventilation is insufficient, suitable respiratory protection must be provided. At work in confined or poorly ventilated spaces, respiratory protection with air supply must be used. Seek advice from supervisor on the companies' respiratory protection standards.
Provide eyewash station and safety shower. Wear suitable protective clothing as protection against splashing or contamination.
Keep container tightly sealed when not in use. Residues and empty containers should be taken care of as hazardous waste according to local and national provisions. Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some cases fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
