First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Immediately call a POISON CENTRE/doctor. Remove casualty to fresh air and keep warm and at rest. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration.
After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water and soap. Remove contaminated, saturated clothing immediately. Immediate medical treatment required because corrosive injuries that are not treated are hard to cure.
In case of contact with eyes flush immediately with plenty of flowing water for 10 to 15 minutes holding eyelids apart and consult an ophthalmologist. Protect uninjured eye. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.
Immediately call a POISON CENTRE/doctor. Do NOT induce vomiting. Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Give nothing to eat or drink.
Immediate Medical Attention
Immediate medical treatment required because corrosive injuries that are not treated are hard to cure.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
The product itself does not burn. Co-ordinate fire-fighting measures to the fire surroundings.
no restriction
In case of fire may be liberated: Carbon monoxide, Carbon dioxide (CO2)
DO NOT fight fire when fire reaches explosives. Use water spray jet to protect personnel and to cool endangered containers.
Firefighter Protection
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical protective clothing.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Do not breathe gas/vapour/aerosol. Provide adequate ventilation. Use personal protection equipment. In case of major fire and large quantities: Remove persons to safety.
Do not allow to enter into surface water or drains. Make sure spills can be contained, e.g. in sump pallets or kerbed areas. Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
Clean contaminated articles and floor according to the environmental legislation.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Avoid inhalation. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. When using do not eat, drink or smoke.
Keep container tightly closed and in a well-ventilated place.
Wash hands before breaks and after work. When using do not eat, drink or smoke.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Technical measures and the application of suitable work processes have priority over personal protection equipment. If handled uncovered, arrangements with local exhaust ventilation have to be used.
When handling with chemical substances, protective gloves must be worn with the CE-label including the four control digits. Recommended glove articles DIN-/EN-Norms EN ISO 374 in the case of wanting to use the gloves again, clean them before taking off and air them well. By short-term hand contact: Suitable material: NBR (Nitrile rubber), Thickness of the glove material: 0,12 mm, Breakthrough time: 240-480 min, Recommended glove articles: VWR 112-0998. By long-term hand contact: Suitable material: NBR (Nitrile rubber), Thickness of the glove material: 0,38 mm, Recommended glove articles: VWR 112-3717 / 112-1381
Eye glasses with side protection DIN-/EN-Norms DIN EN 166. Recommendation: VWR 111-0432
Respiratory protection necessary at: aerosol or mist formation. Suitable respiratory protection apparatus: Full-/half-/quarter-face masks (DIN EN 136/140). Recommendation: VWR 111-0206. Suitable material: A1. Recommendation: VWR 111-8930
Wear suitable protective clothing. When handling with chemical substances, protective clothing with CE-labels including the four control digits must be worn.
