First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Get immediate medical advice/attention. If exposed to excessive levels of dusts or fumes remove to fresh air and get medical attention if cough or other symptoms develop.
Symptoms: Cough or other symptoms.
Remove/Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/shower. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Get immediate medical advice/attention. Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. For minor skin contact, avoid spreading material on unaffected skin. In case of burns, immediately cool affected skin for as long as possible with cold water. Do not remove clothing if adhering to skin. Wash skin with soap and water.
Symptoms: Skin irritation or rash.
Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Get immediate medical advice/attention.
Symptoms: May cause severe eye damage.
If swallowed: Immediately call a poison center or doctor/physician. If swallowed: Rinse mouth. Do not induce vomiting. Do not use mouth-to-mouth methods if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; give artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device.
Immediate Medical Attention
Get immediate medical advice/attention.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
CO2, dry chemical, water spray, alcohol-resistant foam.
Water. Do not use water jet as extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.
Flammable liquid and vapor. May violently polymerize and result in fire and explosion. Vapors may travel to a source of ignition and ignite. Material may produce irritating and highly toxic gases from decomposition by heat and combustion during burning. May form explosive mixtures at temperatures at or above the flashpoint. Containers may explode when heated. Highly flammable: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Spilled material may create fire or explosion hazard.
Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Fire involving Tanks; Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Fire involving Tanks; cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Fire involving Tanks; Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. Fire involving Tanks; always stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. Fire involving Tanks; for massive fire, use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire bur
Firefighter Protection
Rescuers should put on appropriate protective gear. Evacuate area and fight fire from a safe distance.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in Protective Equipment section. Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing.
Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination.
Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is possible. Cover with DRY earth, DRY sand or other non-combustible material followed with plastic sheet to minimize spreading or contact with rain.
Avoid release to the environment. Inform appropriate managerial or supervisory personnel of all environmental releases.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Obtain special instruction before use. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. Wear appropriate personnel protective equipment. Use only non-sparking tools. Take precautionary measures against static discharge. Wash thoroughly after handling the treated area. Do not breathe, eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose such containers to heat, flame, sparks, static electricity, or other sources of ignition. Follow all SDS/label precautions even after container is emptied because they may retain product residues. Loosen closure cautiously before opening. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Do not get in eyes, do not taste or swallow. Be careful to heat. Pregnant or breastfeeding woman must not handle this product.
Protect material from direct sunlight exposure.
Wash thoroughly after handling the treated area. Do not breathe, eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace.
Use explosion-proof electrical/ventilating/lighting equipment. Use only non-sparking tools. Take precautionary measures against static discharge. All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Do not expose such containers to heat, flame, sparks, static electricity, or other sources of ignition.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume, or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the recommended exposure limit. Facilities for storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower.
Wear appropriate chemical resistant protective gloves by considering physical and chemical properties of Chemicals.
Wear chemical splash goggle. An eye wash unit and safely shower station should be available nearby work place.
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134. Use a NIOSH / MSHA approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced.
Wear appropriate chemical resistant protective clothing by considering physical and chemical properties of chemicals.
