First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

If necessary, move affected person to fresh air.

Skin contact

Wash skin with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.

Symptoms: May cause irritation, redness and pain.

Eye contact

Remove contact lenses. Flush eyes (open) with plenty of water for several minutes. If irritation continues, contact a doctor.

Symptoms: May cause irritation with burning and stinging with possible damage to the cornea and conjunctiva.

Ingestion

Rinse mouth and immediately drink 200-300 ml of water or milk. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed to do so by a physician. Get medical attention, especially if large amounts were ingested.

Immediate Medical Attention

Get medical attention, especially if large amounts were ingested.

Medical Treatment

Not expected to require special treatment

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Water spray, dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide.

Unsuitable media

Water with full jet.

Specific hazards

Slight fire hazard when subject to high heat, containers may explode in fire.

Instructions

Water spray may be used to keep fire-exposed containers cool.

Firefighter Protection

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-protective clothing.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Small spill

Absorb with inert material (vermiculite, sand). Ventilate, if necessary, site of spillage well to evaporate remaining liquid and dispel vapor. Always comply with local regulations.

Large spill

Pump off product.

Environmental

Do not flush to sewer.

Cleanup methods

Collect waste in suitable containers, which can be labeled and sealed.

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Store locked up. As with all chemicals, wash hands thoroughly after handling. Avoid contact with eyes and skin.

Storage

Protect from freezing and physical damage.

Hygiene

wash hands thoroughly after handling

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limit.

Hands

Wear chemical resistant gloves. Option: Nitrile gloves: ≥120 min. Thickness: ≥0.11 mm.

Eyes

Safety glasses or goggles.

Respiratory

If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposure limits, an approved atmosphere supplied respirator must be worn.

Skin/Body

Wear protective gloves and eye protection. Chemical resistant gloves.

Environmental

No special precautions are necessary.
