First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove casualty to fresh air and keep warm and at rest. If unconscious but breathing normally, place in recovery position and seek medical advice.
Symptoms: May cause respiratory irritation. Cough.
Wash off any skin contamination immediately. When in doubt or if symptoms are observed, get medical advice.
Symptoms: Erythema (Redness). Occurrence of severe chemical burns resembling a burn.
Rinse immediately carefully and thoroughly with eye-bath or water. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Transport to the ophthalmologist or eye clinic as soon as possible. Continue rinsing with isotonic saline solution during transport, alternatively with water.
Symptoms: Conjunctival oedema (chemosis). Corneal opacity. May cause severe damage with formation of corneal ulcers.
Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Do NOT induce vomiting. Call a POISON CENTER. Let 1 glass of water be drunken in little sips (dilution effect).
Symptoms: Burning/pain and tumescence in the mouth/throat/oesophagus/stomach. Abdominal pain. Nausea. Vomiting. Aspiration hazard.
Medical Treatment
After massive inhalation administration of glucocorticoids (inhalative). If necessary, all further measures for pulmonary edema prophylaxis. Supplemental oxygen supply. Monitoring of respiratory function. Treat skin irritations with a dermatocorticoid foam. Severe skin damage is treated in the same way as burns. Treat symptomatically. Stabilisation.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
ABC-powder, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Dry sand, Nitrogen
Water spray, Full water jet
Non-combustible corrosive substances (liquid). Substance is non-flammable. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases.
Adapt fire and explosion protection measures to the combustible substances in the area.
Firefighter Protection
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical protective clothing.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
For non-emergency personnel: Wear personal protection equipment (refer to section 8). Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Do not breathe gas/fumes/vapour/spray. Remove victim out of the danger area. Provide adequate ventilation. For emergency responders: Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical protective clothing. Substance is non-flammable. Adapt fire and explosion protection measures to the combustible substances in the area. In case of major fire and large quantities: Fight fire remotely due to the risk of explosion.
Absorb with liquid-binding material (sand, diatomaceous earth, acid- or universal binding agents). Rinse affected areas with water. Ventilate affected area. Dispose according to local legislation.
In case of major fire and large quantities: Fight fire remotely due to the risk of explosion.
Do not allow to enter into surface water or drains. The product is an acid. Before discharge into sewage plants the product normally needs to be neutralised.
Take up mechanically, placing in appropriate containers for disposal. Absorb spillage. Rinse affected areas with water.
Materials: sand, diatomaceous earth, acid- or universal binding agents

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: NBR (Nitrile rubber), Thickness of the glove material: 0,12 mm, Breakthrough time: < 480 min, Recommended glove articles: VWR 112-0998. By long-term hand contact: Suitable material: Butyl caoutchouc (butyl rubber), Thickness of the glove material: 0,30 mm, Breakthrough time: > 480 min, Recommended glove articles: VWR 112-3779.
Eye glasses with side protection DIN-/EN-Norms EN 166. Recommendation: VWR 111-0432
Usually no personal respirative protection necessary. Required when dusts are generated. Generation/formation of dust. Suitable respiratory protection apparatus: Filtering Half-face mask (EN 149). Recommendation: VWR 111-0451. Suitable material: P3. Recommendation: VWR 111-0244
Wear suitable protective clothing. When handling with chemical substances, protective clothing with CE-labels including the four control digits must be worn.
