First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
If difficulties occur after dust has been inhaled, remove to fresh air and seek medical attention. After inhalation of decomposition products: Immediately administer a corticosteroid from a controlled/metered dose inhaler. Seek medical attention.
Symptoms: bronchoconstriction
Wash thoroughly with soap and water
Symptoms: dermatitis, urticaria, angio-oedema
Immediately wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open, consult an eye specialist.
Immediately rinse mouth and then drink 200-300 ml of water, seek medical attention.
Symptoms: abdominal pain, diarrhoea, anaphylaxis
Immediate Medical Attention
Seek medical attention.
Medical Treatment
After inhalation of decomposition products: Immediately administer a corticosteroid from a controlled/metered dose inhaler.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
water spray, carbon dioxide, foam, dry powder. Use extinguishing measures to suit surroundings.
Endangering substances: sulphur dioxide. The substances/groups of substances mentioned can be released if the product is involved in a fire.
Product itself is non-combustible; fire extinguishing method of surrounding areas must be considered.
Firefighter Protection
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-protective clothing.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing.
Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater. Do not discharge into the subsoil/soil. Retain and dispose of contaminated wash water.
Sweep/shovel up.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
The substance/product is non-combustible. No special precautions necessary.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Chemical resistant protective gloves (EN ISO 374-1) Suitable materials also with prolonged, direct contact (Recommended: Protective index 6, corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to EN ISO 374-1): e.g. nitrile rubber (0.4 mm), chloroprene rubber (0.5 mm), polyvinylchloride (0.7 mm) and other Supplementary note: The specifications are based on tests, literature data and information of glove manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions (e.g. temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined through testing. Manufacturer's directions for use should be observed because of great diversity of types.
Safety glasses with side-shields (frame goggles) (e.g. EN 166)
Breathing protection if dusts are formed. Suitable respiratory protection for lower concentrations or short-term effect: Particle filter with low efficiency for solid particles (e.g. EN 143 or 149, Type P1 or FFP1) Breathing protection if gases/vapours are formed. Combination filter for gases/vapours of organic, inorganic, acid inorganic, alkaline compounds and toxic particles (e.g. EN 14387 Type ABEK-P3)
Body protection must be chosen depending on activity and possible exposure, e.g. apron, protecting boots, chemical-protection suit (according to EN 14605 in case of splashes or EN ISO 13982 in case of dust).

Ecological Information
Environmental toxicity, biodegradation, and bioaccumulation data
12.1. Toxicity
12.2. Persistence and degradability
12.3. Bioaccumulative potential
12.4. Mobility in soil
Adsorption to solid soil phase is not expected.
12.5. Results of PBT and vPvB assessment
The product does not fulfill the criteria for PBT (Persistent/bioaccumulative/toxic) and vPvB (very persistent/very bioaccumulative).
12.6. Other adverse effects
The substance is not listed in Regulation (EC) 1005/2009 on substances that deplete the ozone layer.
