First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove to fresh air. If rapid recovery does not occur, transport to nearest medical facility for additional treatment.
Symptoms: If material enters lungs, signs and symptoms may include coughing, choking, wheezing, difficulty in breathing, chest congestion, shortness of breath, and/or fever.
Remove contaminated clothing. Flush exposed area with water and follow by washing with soap if available. If persistent irritation occurs, obtain medical attention.
Symptoms: Skin irritation signs and symptoms may include a burning sensation, redness, or swelling.
If persistent irritation occurs, obtain medical attention. Flush eye with copious quantities of water. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.
Symptoms: Eye irritation signs and symptoms may include a burning sensation, redness, swelling, and/or blurred vision.
In general no treatment is necessary unless large quantities are swallowed, however, get medical advice.
Immediate Medical Attention
Call a doctor or poison control center for guidance.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Foam, water spray or fog. Dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, sand or earth may be used for small fires only.
Do not use direct water jets on the burning product as they could cause a steam explosion and spread of the fire. Simultaneous use of foam and water on the same surface is to be avoided as water destroys the foam.
A complex mixture of airborne solid and liquid particulates and gases (smoke).
Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment. Keep adjacent containers cool by spraying with water. If the fire cannot be extinguished the only course of action is to evacuate immediately.
Firefighter Protection
Proper protective equipment including chemical resistant gloves are to be worn; chemical resistant suit is indicated if large contact with spilled product is expected. Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus must be worn when approaching a fire in a confined space. Select fire fighter's clothing approved to relevant Standards (e.g. Europe: EN469).
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Shut off leaks, if possible without personal risks. Attempt to disperse the gas or to direct its flow to a safe location for example by using fog sprays.
Prevent from spreading or entering into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas.
Reclaim liquid directly or in an absorbent. Soak up residue with an absorbent such as clay, sand or other suitable material and dispose of properly.
Materials: absorbent such as clay, sand or other suitable material

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Ensure that all local regulations regarding handling and storage facilities are followed. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Avoid inhaling vapour and/or mists. When handling product in drums, safety footwear should be worn and proper handling equipment should be used. When using do not eat or drink. Use local exhaust ventilation if there is risk of inhalation of vapours, mists or aerosols. Properly dispose of any contaminated rags or cleaning materials in order to prevent fires.
Keep container tightly closed and in a cool, well-ventilated place. Use properly labeled and closable containers. Protect from light.
Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing hands after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants. Discard contaminated clothing and footwear that cannot be cleaned. Practice good housekeeping.
Properly dispose of any contaminated rags or cleaning materials in order to prevent fires.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Adequate ventilation to control airborne concentrations. Where material is heated, sprayed or mist formed, there is greater potential for airborne concentrations to be generated.
Where hand contact with the product may occur the use of gloves approved to relevant standards (e.g. Europe: EN374, US: F739) made from the following materials may provide suitable chemical protection. Suitability and durability of a glove is dependent on usage, e.g. frequency and duration of contact, chemical resistance of glove material, dexterity. Always seek advice from glove suppliers. Contaminated gloves should be replaced. Personal hygiene is a key element of effective hand care. Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After using gloves, hands should be washed and dried thoroughly. Application of a non-perfumed moisturizer is recommended. For continuous contact we recommend gloves with breakthrough time of more than 240 minutes with preference for >480 minutes where suitable gloves can be identified. For short-term/splash protection we recommend the same but recognize that suitable gloves offering this level of protection may not be available and in this case a lower breakthrough time maybe acceptable so long as appropriate maintenance and replacement regimes are followed. Glove thickness is not a good predictor of glove resistance to a chemical as it is dependent on the exact composition of the glove material. Glove thickness should be typically greater than 0.35 mm depending on the glove make and model.
If material is handled such that it could be splashed into eyes, protective eyewear is recommended. Approved to EU Standard EN166.
No respiratory protection is ordinarily required under normal conditions of use. In accordance with good industrial hygiene practices, precautions should be taken to avoid breathing of material. If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations to a level which is adequate to protect worker health, select respiratory protection equipment suitable for the specific conditions of use and meeting relevant legislation. Check with respiratory protective equipment suppliers. Where air-filtering respirators are unsuitable (e.g. airborne concentrations are high, risk of oxygen deficiency, confined space) use appropriate positive pressure breathing apparatus. Where air-filtering respirators are suitable, select an appropriate combination of mask and filter. Select a filter suitable for the combination of organic gases and vapours and particles meeting EN14387 and EN143 [Filter type A/P for use against certain organic gases and vapours with a boiling point >65°C (149°F) and for use against particles].
Skin protection is not ordinarily required beyond standard work clothes. It is good practice to wear chemical resistant gloves.
