First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

If inhaled, remove to fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

Skin contact

Cool melted product on skin with plenty of water. Do not remove solidified product. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.

Symptoms: Contact with hot material causes thermal skin burns.

Eye contact

Immediately flush eye(s) with plenty of water. Remove contact lenses. Get medical attention if symptoms appear.

Ingestion

Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do by medical personnel. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

Immediate Medical Attention

Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

Medical Treatment

Treat symptomatically.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.

Unsuitable media

None known.

Specific hazards

In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst. Toxic and irritating gases/fumes may be given off during burning or thermal decomposition.

Instructions

Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.

Firefighter Protection

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Put on appropriate personal protection equipment. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering.

Environmental

Prevent product from entering drains. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities. Do not allow into the sewerage system, surface waters or groundwater or into the soil.

Cleanup methods

Allow to solidify, use mechanical handling equipment. If molten, allow material to cool and place into an appropriate marked container for disposal.

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. Contact with hot material causes thermal skin burns. Avoid inhalation, ingestion and contact with skin and eyes. Avoid exposure during pregnancy. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas. Put on appropriate personal protection equipment.

Storage

Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see Section 10) and food and drink. Keep container closed when not in use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Use appropriate container to avoid environmental contamination.

Hygiene

Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking. Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control worker exposure to airborne contaminants.

Hands

Material: Polyvinyl chloride - PVC, Wearing time: < 60 min; Material: Nitrile rubber - NBR, Wearing time: < 60 min; Material: Natural rubber - NR, Wearing time: < 60 min; Remarks: Gloves should be discarded and replaced if there is any indication of degradation or chemical breakthrough. When handling hot material, use heat resistant gloves.

Eyes

Tightly fitting safety goggles

Respiratory

In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.

Skin/Body

Wear suitable protective clothing. When handling hot material wear heat resistant clothing to prevent thermal burns.
