First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Fresh air. Immediately call in physician. If breathing stops: immediately apply artificial respiration, if necessary also oxygen.
Symptoms: Cough, Shortness of breath, respiratory arrest, Dizziness, narcosis, agitation, spasms, inebriation, Headache, ataxia (impaired locomotor coordination)
Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/ shower. Consult a physician.
Symptoms: Drying-out effect resulting in rough and chapped skin.
Rinse out with plenty of water. Call in ophthalmologist.
Symptoms: irritant effects
Caution if victim vomits. Keep respiratory tract clear. Call a physician immediately. Subsequently administer: activated charcoal (20 - 40 g in 10% slurry).
Symptoms: Risk of aspiration! Pulmonary failure possible after aspiration of vomit.
Immediate Medical Attention
Immediately call in physician. Call in ophthalmologist.
Medical Treatment
Subsequently administer: activated charcoal (20 - 40 g in 10% slurry).
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. Ambient fire may liberate hazardous vapours.
Suppress (knock down) gases/vapours/mists with a water spray jet.
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
Do not breathe vapours, aerosols. Avoid substance contact. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate the danger area, observe emergency procedures, consult an expert.
Do not empty into drains.
Take up with liquid-absorbent material (e.g. Chemizorb®). Dispose of properly. Clean up affected area.
Materials: liquid-absorbent material (e.g. Chemizorb®)

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Work under hood. Do not inhale substance/mixture. Avoid generation of vapours/aerosols. Observe label precautions.
Protected from light. Tightly closed. Keep in a well-ventilated place. Keep locked up or in an area accessible only to qualified or authorised persons. Recommended storage temperature see product label.
Immediately change contaminated clothing. Apply preventive skin protection. Wash hands and face after working with substance.
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: Viton (R) - Glove thickness: 0,70 mm - Break through time: > 480 min splash contact: - Glove material: butyl-rubber - Glove thickness: 0,7 mm - Break through time: > 10 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 890 Vitoject® (full contact), KCL 898 Butoject® (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).
Safety glasses
required when vapours/aerosols are generated. Recommended Filter type: Filter AX (EN 371) 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.
protective clothing
Do not empty into drains.
