First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
After inhalation: fresh air. Call in physician.
Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/ shower. Call a physician immediately.
After eye contact: rinse out with plenty of water. Immediately call in ophthalmologist. Remove contact lenses.
After swallowing: make victim drink water (two glasses at most), avoid vomiting (risk of perforation). Call a physician immediately. Do not attempt to neutralise.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.
For this substance/mixture no limitations of extinguishing agents are given.
Hydrogen chloride gas. Ambient fire may liberate hazardous vapours.
Stay in danger area only with self-contained breathing apparatus. Prevent skin contact by keeping a safe distance or by wearing suitable protective clothing.
Firefighter Protection

Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Full contact: Material: Nitrile rubber, Minimum layer thickness: 0,11 mm, Break through time: 480 min, Material tested: KCL 741 Dermatril® L. Splash contact: Material: Latex gloves, Minimum layer thickness: 0,6 mm, Break through time: 120 min, Material tested: Lapren® (KCL 706 / Aldrich Z677558, Size M). This recommendation applies only to the product stated in the safety data sheet, supplied by us and for the designated use. When dissolving in or mixing with other substances and under conditions deviating from those stated in EN374 please contact the supplier of CE-approved gloves (e.g. KCL GmbH, D-36124 Eichenzell, Internet: www.kcl.de).
Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU). Tightly fitting safety goggles
required when vapours/aerosols are generated. Our recommendations on filtering respiratory protection are based on the following standards: DIN EN 143, DIN 14387 and other accompanying standards relating to the used respiratory protection system. Recommended Filter type: Filter type ABEK. The entrepreneur has to ensure that maintenance, cleaning and testing of respiratory protective devices are carried out according to the instructions of the producer. These measures have to be properly documented.
