First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

No treatment necessary under normal conditions of use. If symptoms persist, obtain medical advice.

Skin contact

Remove contaminated clothing. Flush exposed area with water and follow by washing with soap if available. If persistent irritation occurs, obtain medical attention.

Eye contact

Flush eye with copious quantities of water. If persistent irritation occurs, obtain medical attention.

Ingestion

In general no treatment is necessary unless large quantities are swallowed, however, get medical advice.

Medical Treatment

Treat symptomatically.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Foam, water spray or fog. Dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, sand or earth may be used for small fires only.

Unsuitable media

Do not use water in a jet.

Specific hazards

When heated, releases ammonia and when heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides, ammonia and cyanuric acid.

Instructions

Clear fire area of all non-emergency personnel.

Firefighter Protection

Proper protective equipment including breathing apparatus must be worn when approaching a fire in a confined space.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Environmental

Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination. Prevent from spreading or entering drains, ditches or rivers by using sand, earth, or other appropriate barriers.

Cleanup methods

Reclaim liquid directly or in an absorbent. Soak up residue with an absorbent such as clay, sand or other suitable material and dispose of properly.

Materials: absorbent such as clay, sand or other suitable material

07

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Avoid inhaling vapour and/or mists. When handling product in drums, safety footwear should be worn and proper handling equipment should be used.

Storage

Keep container tightly closed and in a cool, well-ventilated place. Use properly labelled and closeable containers.

Hygiene

Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin.

Fire prevention

Properly dispose of any contaminated rags or cleaning materials in order to prevent fires.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Adequate ventilation to control airborne concentrations. Where material is heated, sprayed or mist formed, there is greater potential for airborne concentrations to be generated.

Hands

Select gloves tested to a relevant standard (e.g. Europe EN374, US F739). Suitability and durability of a glove is dependent on usage, e.g. frequency and duration of contact, chemical resistance of glove material, glove thickness, dexterity. Always seek advice from glove suppliers. Contaminated gloves should be replaced.

Eyes

Wear safety glasses or full face shield if splashes are likely to occur.

Respiratory

No respiratory protection is ordinarily required under normal conditions of use. In accordance with good industrial hygiene practices, precautions should be taken to avoid breathing of material. If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations to a level which is adequate to protect worker health, select respiratory protective equipment suitable for the specific conditions of use and meeting relevant legislation. Check with respiratory protective equipment suppliers. Where air-filtering respirators are suitable, select an appropriate combination of mask and filter. Select a filter suitable for combined particulate/organic gases and vapours [boiling point >65°C(149 °F)].

Skin/Body

Skin protection not ordinarily required beyond standard issue work clothes.

Environmental

Minimise release to the environment. An environmental assessment must be made to ensure compliance with local environmental legislation.

Stability and Reactivity

Chemical stability, hazardous reactions, and incompatible materials

Stability

Stable. Decomposes above 135°C.

Avoid

Extremes of temperature and direct sunlight.

Incompatible

Strong oxidising agents.

Decomposition

Hazardous decomposition products are not expected to form during normal storage. At high temperatures, will decompose to ammonia and carbon dioxide. If burnt, will emit nitrogen oxides, ammonia and cyanuric acid.
