First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Immediately call a POISON CENTRE/doctor. Remove casualty to fresh air and keep warm and at rest. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration.

Skin contact

After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water and soap. Remove contaminated, saturated clothing immediately.

Eye contact

In case of contact with eyes flush immediately with plenty of flowing water for 10 to 15 minutes holding eyelids apart and consult an ophthalmologist. Protect uninjured eye. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.

Ingestion

Immediately call a POISON CENTRE/doctor. Do NOT induce vomiting. Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Give nothing to eat or drink.

Immediate Medical Attention

Immediate medical treatment required because corrosive injuries that are not treated are hard to cure.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Co-ordinate fire-fighting measures to the fire surroundings.

Unsuitable media

no restriction

Specific hazards

May intensify fire; oxidiser.

Instructions

DO NOT fight fire when fire reaches explosives. Use water spray jet to protect personnel and to cool endangered containers.

Firefighter Protection

Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical protective clothing.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Do not breathe gas/vapour/aerosol. Provide adequate ventilation. Use personal protection equipment. In case of major fire and large quantities: Remove persons to safety.

Environmental

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Avoid inhalation. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Protect from moisture.

Storage

Keep container tightly closed and in a well-ventilated place.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Technical measures and the application of suitable work processes have priority over personal protection equipment. If handled uncovered, arrangements with local exhaust ventilation have to be used.

Hands

When handling with chemical substances, protective gloves must be worn with the CE-label including the four control digits. Recommended glove articles DIN-/EN-Norms: EN ISO 374. In the case of wanting to use the gloves again, clean them before taking off and air them well. By short-term hand contact: Suitable material: Butyl caoutchouc (butyl rubber), Thickness of the glove material: 0,30 mm, Breakthrough time (maximum wearing time): 60-120 min, Recommended glove articles: VWR 112-3779. By long-term hand contact: Suitable material: Butyl caoutchouc (butyl rubber)/FKM (fluoro rubber), Thickness of the glove material: 0,70 mm, Breakthrough time (maximum wearing time): 240-480 min, Recommended glove articles: VWR 112-3819.

Eyes

Eye glasses with side protection DIN-/EN-Norms: DIN EN 166. Recommendation: VWR 111-0432

Respiratory

Respiratory protection necessary at: aerosol or mist formation. Suitable respiratory protection apparatus: Full-/half-/quarter-face masks (DIN EN 136/140). Recommendation: VWR 111-0206. Suitable material: ABEK2P3. Recommendation: VWR 111-0059.

Skin/Body

Wear suitable protective clothing. When handling with chemical substances, protective clothing with CE-labels including the four control digits must be worn.
