First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
fresh air. Get medical attention.
Symptoms: Cough, respiratory paralysis, Shortness of breath
wash off with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing. Consult a physician.
Symptoms: irritant effects
rinse out with plenty of water. Call in ophthalmologist.
Symptoms: irritant effects
immediately make victim drink water (two glasses at most). Do not give milk, alcoholic beverages or castor oil. Consult a physician.
Medical Treatment
Subsequently administer: activated charcoal (20 - 40 g in 10% slurry). Laxative: Sodium sulfate (1 tablespoon/1/4 l water).
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Water, Foam, Dry powder, Carbon dioxide (CO2)
For this substance/mixture no limitations of extinguishing agents are given.
Combustible. Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Forms explosive mixtures with air at ambient temperatures. Pay attention to flashback. Development of hazardous combustion gases or vapours possible in the event of fire.
Remove container from danger zone and cool with water. 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. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Evacuate the danger area, observe emergency procedures, consult an expert.
Do not empty into drains. Risk of explosion.
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
Avoid generation of vapours/aerosols. Observe label precautions.
Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Protected from light. Keep locked up or in an area accessible only to qualified or authorised persons.
Immediately change contaminated clothing. Apply preventive skin protection. Wash hands and face after working with substance.
Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition.
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: polychloroprene, Glove thickness: 0.65 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 720 Camapren® (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 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.
Flame retardant antistatic protective clothing
Do not empty into drains. Risk of explosion.
