First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
fresh air. If breathing stops: immediately apply artificial respiration, if necessary oxygen. Immediately call in physician.
Symptoms: Cough, Shortness of breath, irritations in the upper respiratory tract, sensitisation and allergic reactions of the respiratory tract (risk of pneumonia!), damage to nasal mucous membranes (under given circumstances perforation of the septum).
Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/ shower. Call a physician immediately.
Symptoms: Irritation and corrosion, burns and ulcerations on the skin, Poorly healing ulcers occur after wound contact.
rinse out with plenty of water. Immediately call in ophthalmologist.
Symptoms: Risk of blindness!
give water to drink (two glasses at most). Seek medical advice immediately. In exceptional cases only, if medical care is not available within one hour, induce vomiting (only in persons who are wide awake and fully conscious), administer activated charcoal (20 - 40 g in a 10% slurry) and consult a doctor as quickly as possible.
Symptoms: Severe symptoms in the gastrointestinal tract such as bloody diarrhoea, vomiting (aspiration pneumonia!), spasms, circulatory collapse, unconsciousness, formation of methaemoglobin.
Immediate Medical Attention
Immediately call in physician/ophthalmologist.
Medical Treatment
Carefully clean wounds and cover with sterile dressing material.
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.
Not combustible. Has a fire-promoting effect due to release of oxygen.
Firefighter Protection
Stay in danger area only with self-contained breathing apparatus. Prevent skin contact by keeping a safe distance or by wearing suitable protective clothing.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Avoid inhalation of dusts in all circumstances. Avoid substance contact. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate the danger area, observe emergency procedures, consult an expert.
Do not empty into drains.
Take up carefully. Clean up affected area.

Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Technical measures and appropriate working operations should be given priority over the use of personal protective equipment. See section 7.1.
full contact: Glove material: Nitrile rubber Glove thickness: 0,11 mm Break through time: >480 min splash contact: Glove material: Nitrile rubber Glove thickness: 0,11 mm Break through time: >480 min The protective gloves to be used must comply with the specifications of EC Directive 89/686/EEC and the related standard EN374, for example KCL 741 Dermatril® L (full contact), KCL 741 Dermatril® L (splash contact). The breakthrough times stated above were determined by KCL in laboratory tests acc. to EN374 with samples of the recommended glove types. 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 EN374 please contact the supplier of CE-approved gloves (e.g. KCL GmbH, D-36124 Eichenzell, Internet: www.kcl.de).
Tightly fitting safety goggles
required when dusts are generated. Recommended Filter type: Filter P 3 (acc. to DIN 3181) for solid and liquid particles of toxic and very toxic substances 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.
Acid-resistant protective clothing
Do not empty into drains.
