First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Supply fresh air. If required, provide artificial respiration. Keep patient warm. Consult doctor if symptoms persist. In case of unconsciousness place patient stably in side position for transportation.
Generally the product does not irritate the skin.
Rinse opened eye for several minutes under running water. If symptoms persist, consult a doctor.
Call for a doctor immediately.
Immediate Medical Attention
Call for a doctor immediately.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
CO2, powder or water spray. Fight larger fires with water spray or alcohol resistant foam.
No further relevant information available.
Firefighter Protection
Mouth respiratory protective device.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Use personal protective equipment. Avoid breathing vapours, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Beware of vapours accumulating to form explosive concentrations. Vapours can accumulate in low areas. Keep unprotected persons away.
Dilute with plenty of water.
Absorb with liquid-binding material
Materials: sand, diatomite, acid binders, universal binders, sawdust

Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
No further data; see section 7.
Protective gloves. The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation. Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation. Material of gloves: The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it. Butyl rubber, BR. The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. Penetration time of glove material: Full contact: Material: butyl-rubber, Minimum layer thickness: 0.3 mm, Break through time: 480 min. Splash contact: Material: butyl-rubber, Minimum layer thickness: 0.3 mm, Break through time: 480 min. The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.
Face shield and safety glasses Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU). Tightly sealed goggles
Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face particle respirator type N100 (US) or type P3 (EN 143) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU). In case of brief exposure or low pollution use respiratory filter device. In case of intensive or longer exposure use self-contained respiratory protective device.
Protective work clothing
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains. Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
