Tudalen 4192 TDAE 500 (OWS)

Remove casualty to a quiet and well ventilated place if safe to do so. Obtain medical assistance if breathing remains difficult. If casualty is unconscious and not breathing: Ensure that there is no obstruction to breathing and give artificial respiration by trained personnel. If necessary, give external cardiac massage and obtain medical advice. If casualty is unconscious and breathing, place in the recovery position. Administer oxygen if necessary.

Symptoms: irritation of the respiratory tract due to excess fume, mists or vapour exposure.

Remove contaminated clothing, contaminated footwear and dispose of safely. Seek medical attention if skin irritation, swelling or redness develops and persists. When using high-pressure equipment, injection of product can occur. If high-pressure injuries occur, immediately seek professional medical attention. Do not wait for symptoms to develop. For minor thermal burns, cool the burn. Hold the burned area under cold running water for at least five minutes, or until the pain subsides. Body hypothermia must be avoided. Seek medical attention in all cases of serious burns. Wash affected area with soap and water.

Symptoms: dry skin, irritation in case of repeated or prolonged exposure. May cause burn in case of contact with product at high temperature.

If hot product is splashed into the eye, it should be cooled down immediately to dissipate heat, under cold running water for at least 5 minutes. Immediately obtain specialist medical assessment and treatment for the casualty. Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do so. Continue rinsing.

Symptoms: slight irritation. May cause burn in case of contact with product at high temperature.

Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If vomiting occurs, the head should be kept low so that the vomit does not enter the lungs (aspiration). Once vomiting ceases, place the person in the recovery position with the legs slightly raised. Always assume that aspiration has occurred. Seek professional medical attention or send the casualty to a hospital. Do not wait for symptoms to develop. Do NOT induce vomiting.

Symptoms: few or no symptoms expected. If any, nausea and diarrhoea might occur.

Foam (trained personnel only). Water fog (trained personnel only). Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide. Other inert gases (subject to regulations). Sand or earth.

Do not use direct water jets on the burning product; they could cause splattering and spread the fire. Simultaneous use of foam and water on the same surface is to be avoided as water destroys the foam.

Incomplete combustion is likely to give rise to a complex mixture of airborne solid and liquid particulates, gases, including carbon monoxide, unidentified organic and inorganic compounds.

Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Special danger of slipping by leaking/spilling product. When inside buildings or confined spaces, ensure adequate ventilation. Keep non-involved personnel away from the area of spillage. Alert emergency personnel.

Normal antistatic working clothes are usually adequate.

Full body suit of chemically resistant and antistatic material.

Prevent product from entering sewers, rivers or other bodies of water.

Collect free product with suitable means. Transfer collected product and other contaminated materials to suitable containers for recovery or safe disposal.

Materials: suitable containers

Obtain special instructions before use. Avoid splash filling of bulk volumes when handling hot liquid product. Special danger of slipping by leaking/spilling product. Use and store only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Avoid contact with the product. Take precautionary measures against static electricity. Use adequate personal protective equipment as required.

Keep only in the original container. Keep containers tightly closed and properly labelled.

Wash hands and face before breaks and after work and take a shower if necessary. Apply skin care products after work. Do not put any product-impregnated cleaning rags into your trouser pockets. When using do not eat, drink, smoke, sniff. Keep away from food and beverages.

Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.

In case of warming: Devices with local exhaust. Material handled at elevated temperature may cause thermal burns by contact with molten product. Although these are unlikely to present a significant health hazard, to avoid respiratory tract irritation inhalation exposure should be kept to a minimum by observing good work practice and ensuring good ventilation around work areas. Storage and handling temperatures should be kept as low as feasible to minimize fume production. Minimise exposure to fumes. Where hot product is handled in confined spaces, effective local ventilation must be provided. Do not enter empty storage tanks until measurements of available oxygen have been carried out.

When handling with chemical substances, protective gloves must be worn with the CE-label including the four control digits. The quality of the protective gloves resistant to chemicals must be chosen as a function of the specific working place concentration and quantity of hazardous substances. 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. Suitable material: NBR (Nitrile rubber), CR (polychloroprene, chloroprene rubber), FKM (fluoro rubber) Index No.: 5-6, Category 2 (EN). Hot/molten product: Heat resistant gloves with long cuffs, or gauntlets. Product at ambient temperature (dust): Wear suitable gloves tested to EN374. Gloves must be periodically inspected and changed in case of wear, perforations or contaminations.

Closed goggles. If splashing is likely, full head and face protection (protective shield and/or safety goggles) should be used.

aerosol or mist formation: Filtering device (full mask or mouthpiece) with filter: A2, A2/P2, ABEK. If necessary, approved respiratory protection equipment shall be used when handling hot product in confined spaces: enclosed face mask with cartridge/filter type "A" or self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). If exposure levels cannot be determined or estimated with adequate confidence, or an oxygen deficiency is possible, only SCBA's should be used.

Protective clothing: Not readily flammable. Hot/molten product: Wear protective clothing for operations with hot material: heat resistant coveralls (with trousers legs over boots and sleeves over cuffs of gloves), heat resistant heavy duty antiskid boots (e. g. leather). Product at ambient temperature (dust): Long-sleeved coveralls, work boots. Coveralls should be changed at the end of the work shift and cleaned as necessary to avoid transfer of product to clothes or underwear. For loading/unloading operations: wear safety helmet, if necessary integrated full face visor. In case of hot/molten product: with integrated full face visor.

Excessive heating above the maximum recommended handling and storage temperature may cause degradation of the substance and evolution of irritant vapours and fumes.

Contact with strong oxidizers (peroxides, chromates, etc.) may cause a fire hazard. A mixture with nitrates or other strong oxidisers (e.g. chlorates, perchlorates, liquid oxygen) may create an explosive mass. Sensitivity to heat, friction or shock cannot be assessed in advance.

Combustion (incomplete) will likely generate oxides of carbon, sulphur and nitrogen, as well as additional undetermined organic compounds of the same elements. None under normal conditions at ambient temperatures.

Surplus (unused) or off-spec substance can be recovered or re-conditioned (according to specific characteristics and composition), or can be disposed of as waste. Disposal can be carried out directly, or by delivery to qualified waste handlers. This substance can be burned or incinerated, subject to national/local authorizations, relevant contamination limits, safety regulations and air quality legislation.
