Skin contact

Wash with plenty of soap and water.

Eye contact

Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention.

Ingestion

Rinse mouth. Do not induce vomiting. Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell.

Immediate Medical Attention

If breathing is irregular or stopped, immediately seek medical assistance. If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention. Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell.

Medical Treatment

None.

07

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not breathe vapour/spray.

Storage

Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking. Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs.

Hygiene

Do not eat, drink and smoke in work areas. Wash hands after use. Preventive skin protection (barrier creams/ointments) is recommended. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.

Fire prevention

Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Use local and general ventilation.

Hands

Material: IIR (isobutene-isoprene (butyl) rubber) (≥ 0,6 mm, >480 minutes), NBR (acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber) (≥ 0,4 mm, >480 minutes), PVC (polyvinyl chloride) (≥ 0,5 mm, >480 minutes), CR (chloroprene rubber) (≥ 0,5 mm, >480 minutes), PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) (no information available). Wear suitable gloves. Chemical protection gloves are suitable, which are tested according to EN 374. Check leak-tightness/impermeability prior to use. For special purposes, it is recommended to check the resistance to chemicals of the protective gloves mentioned above together with the supplier of these gloves.

Eyes

Wear eye/face protection. (EN 166).

Respiratory

In case of inadequate ventilation wear respiratory protection. (EN 136, EN 140, EN 14387, EN 143, EN 149). Type: A-P2 (combined filters against particles and organic gases and vapours, colour code: Brown/White).

Environmental

Use appropriate container to avoid environmental contamination. Keep away from drains, surface and ground water.
