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

• after the accident.

5. Firefighting Measures

Suitable extinguishing equipment

Fire

CO₂, sand, extinguishing powder. Do not use water.

HAZCHEM

For safety reasons unsuitable extinguishing agents: Water with full jet.

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

• Inform respective authorities in case of seepage into water course or sewage system.
• 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.

Conditions for safe storage

• Store locked up.
• Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed.
• Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep cool.
• Keep ignition sources away - Do not smoke.
• Protect from heat and direct sunlight.
• Protect against electrostatic charges.

8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

Exposure Standards

Engineering controls

• Store locked up.
• Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed.
• Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep cool.

Personal protective equipment

Eye and face protection

Tightly sealed goggles.

Skin protection

• 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.

Body protection

• 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.

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.
