First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Remove from exposure, lie down. Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.

Symptoms: Inhalation of high vapor concentrations may cause symptoms like headache, dizziness, tiredness, nausea and vomiting

Skin contact

Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated clothes and shoes.

Symptoms: May cause allergic skin reaction. Symptoms of allergic reaction may include rash, itching, swelling, tingling of the hands and feet.

Eye contact

Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes.

Ingestion

Do NOT induce vomiting. Clean mouth with water.

Symptoms: nausea and vomiting

Immediate Medical Attention

Get medical attention. In the case of skin irritation or allergic reactions see a physician.

Medical Treatment

Treat symptomatically

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Carbon dioxide (CO₂). Foam. Dry chemical. Water mist may be used to cool closed containers. Water mist may be used to cool closed containers.

Unsuitable media

No information available

Specific hazards

Flammable. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Containers may explode when heated. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air.

Firefighter Protection

As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Environmental

Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. See Section 12 for additional Ecological Information.

Cleanup methods

Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust). Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.

Materials: sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not breathe mist/vapors/spray. Handle product only in closed system or provide appropriate exhaust ventilation. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Use only non-sparking tools. Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. To avoid ignition of vapors by static electricity discharge, all metal parts of the equipment must be grounded. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.

Storage

Keep in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Refrigerator/flammables. Inhibitor levels should be maintained.

Hygiene

Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Fire prevention

Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition.
