4. First Aid Measures

Ingestion

If symptoms persist consult doctor.

Inhalation

• 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.

Skin Contact

Immediately wash with water and soap and rinse thoroughly.

Eye Contact

Rinse opened eye for several minutes under running water. If symptoms persist, consult a doctor.

Other Information

Symptoms of poisoning may even occur after several hours; therefore medical observation for at least 48 hours after the accident.

5. Firefighting Measures

Suitable extinguishing equipment

Fire

CO₂, powder or water spray. Fight larger fires with water spray or alcohol resistant foam.

HAZCHEM

For safety reasons unsuitable extinguishing agents: Water.

Special protective equipment and precautions for fire fighters

6. Accidental Release Measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Wear protective equipment. Keep unprotected persons away.

Environmental precautions

• Dilute with plenty of water.
• Do not allow to enter sewers/surface or ground water.

Methods and materials for containment and clean up

• Absorb with liquid-binding material (sand, diatomite, acid binders, universal binders, sawdust).
• Dispose contaminated material as waste according to item 13.
• Ensure adequate ventilation.
• Do not flush with water or aqueous cleansing agents.

7. Handling and Storage

Precautions for safe handling

• Ensure good ventilation/exhaustion at the workplace.
• Prevent formation of aerosols.
• Information about protection against explosions and fires:
• Keep ignition sources away - Do not smoke.
• Protect from heat.
• Protect against electrostatic charges.

Conditions for safe storage

• Store in a cool location.
• Keep container tightly sealed.
• Store in cool, dry conditions in well sealed receptacles.
• Protect from heat and direct sunlight.

8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

Exposure Standards

Engineering controls

• Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and feed.
• Immediately remove all soiled and contaminated clothing.
• Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work.
• Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.

Personal protective equipment

Eye and face protection

Tightly sealed goggles.

Skin protection

Wear 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. The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.

Body protection

• Wear protective clothing.
• Protective gloves
• The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation.
• Due to missing tests no recommendation to the glove material can be given for the product/ the preparation/ the chemical mixture.
• Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation
• Material of gloves
• 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. As the product is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of the glove material can not be calculated in advance and has therefore to be checked prior to the application.
• Penetration time of glove material
• The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.

Respiratory protection

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.
