First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

fresh air. Keep respiratory tract clear.

Symptoms: Drowsiness, Dizziness, Unconsciousness, narcosis, Nausea, Vomiting, Headache, CNS disorders

Skin contact

wash off with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing.

Symptoms: Dermatitis, Drying-out effect resulting in rough and chapped skin.

Eye contact

rinse out with plenty of water.

Symptoms: Risk of corneal clouding.

Ingestion

Keep airways free. Subsequently administer: activated charcoal (20 - 40 g in 10% slurry).

Symptoms: caution if victim vomits. Risk of aspiration!

Immediate Medical Attention

Call in physician. Consult a physician. Call in ophthalmologist. Call a physician immediately.

Medical Treatment

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.

Unsuitable media

For this substance/mixture no limitations of extinguishing agents are given.

Specific hazards

Not combustible. Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Ambient fire may liberate hazardous vapours.

Instructions

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.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Do not breathe vapours, aerosols. Avoid substance contact. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate the danger area, observe emergency procedures, consult an expert.

Environmental

Do not empty into drains.

Cleanup methods

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

Handling

Work under hood. Do not inhale substance. Avoid generation of vapours/aerosols. Observe label precautions.

Storage

Tightly closed. Protected from light. Keep in a well-ventilated place. Keep locked up or in an area accessible only to qualified or authorised persons. Store at +15°C to +25°C.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Technical measures and appropriate working operations should be given priority over the use of personal protective equipment. See section 7.1.

Hands

full contact: Glove material: Viton (R) Glove thickness: 0,70 mm Break through time: >480 min splash contact: Glove material: Nitrile rubber Glove thickness: 0,40 mm Break through time: >240 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 730 Camatril® -Velours (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).

Eyes

Safety glasses

Respiratory

required when vapours/aerosols are generated. Recommended Filter type: Filter A (acc. to DIN 3181) for vapours of organic compounds 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.

Skin/Body

protective clothing

Environmental

Do not empty into drains.
