First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove to fresh air. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Wash off immediately with plenty of water. Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated clothes and shoes.
Keep eye wide open while rinsing. Immediate medical attention is required. Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Do not rub affected area.
Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Drink plenty of water. Immediate medical attention is required. Remove from exposure, lie down. Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water. Call a physician or poison control center immediately.
Immediate Medical Attention
Immediate medical attention is required.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.
The product causes burns of eyes, skin and mucous membranes Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating and toxic gases and vapors In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes flammable
Firefighter Protection
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Remove all sources of ignition. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Use personal protective equipment as required.
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Prevent product from entering drains. See Section 12 for additional Ecological Information. Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.
Dam up. Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust). Pick up and transfer to properly labeled containers. Take up mechanically, placing in appropriate containers for disposal. After cleaning, flush away traces with water. Soak up with inert absorbent material.
Materials: inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust)

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Keep away from heat, sparks, flame and other sources of ignition (i.e., pilot lights, electric motors and static electricity). Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Use only with adequate ventilation and in closed systems.
Keep tightly closed in a dry and cool place. Keep in properly labeled containers. Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep away from heat, sparks, flame and other sources of ignition (i.e., pilot lights, electric motors and static electricity).
When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Regular cleaning of equipment, work area and clothing is recommended. Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Take off all contaminated clothing and wash it before reuse. Wear suitable gloves and eye/face protection.
Keep away from heat, sparks, flame and other sources of ignition (i.e., pilot lights, electric motors and static electricity). Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Showers Eyewash stations Ventilation systems
Gloves made of plastic or rubber.
Tight sealing safety goggles. Face protection shield.
If exposure limits are exceeded or irritation is experienced, NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection should be worn. Positive-pressure supplied air respirators may be required for high airborne contaminant concentrations. Respiratory protection must be provided in accordance with current local regulations.
Antistatic footwear. Wear fire/flame resistant/retardant clothing. Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact. Wear chemical resistant clothing such as apron, boots or whole bodysuits made from neoprene, as appropriate. Rubber boots.
