First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
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.
After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water and soap. Remove contaminated, saturated clothing immediately.
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.
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.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Co-ordinate fire-fighting measures to the fire surroundings.
no restriction
May intensify fire; oxidiser.
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.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
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.
Do not allow to enter into surface water or drains. Make sure spills can be contained, e.g. in sump pallets or kerbed areas. Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
Clean contaminated articles and floor according to the environmental legislation.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Avoid inhalation. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Protect from moisture.
Keep container tightly closed and in a well-ventilated place.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
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.
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.
Eye glasses with side protection DIN-/EN-Norms: DIN EN 166. Recommendation: VWR 111-0432
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.
Wear suitable protective clothing. When handling with chemical substances, protective clothing with CE-labels including the four control digits must be worn.
