EYE CONTACT

Promptly wash eyes with plenty of water while lifting the eye lids. Get medical attention immediately. Continue to rinse.

INGESTION

Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Drink plenty of water. Immediately consult a doctor.

Fire-fighting measures

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA

Can be extinguished with water, powder, foam, sand or carbon dioxide.

IMPROPER EXTINGUISHING MEDIA

Do not use a direct water jet that could spread the fire.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS

The product is combustible. May develop highly toxic or corrosive fumes if heated.

PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIRE FIGHTERS

General: Evacuate all personnel, use protective equipment for fire fighting. Use a portable breathing apparatus when the product is involved in a fire.

Accidental release measures

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

Wear necessary protective equipment. Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry.

Unauthorized persons should be evacuated. Avoid contact with skin or inhalation of spillage, dust or vapour.

SAFETY ACTIONS TO PROTECT EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT

Prevent discharges into the sewage system, watercourses or ground.

METHODS FOR CLEANING UP

Absorb in inert material (vermiculite, dry sand or earth) for incineration. Collect the spillage into suitable containers for incineration. Flush area with plenty of water.

Handling and storage

HANDLING ADVICE

Avoid heat, sparks and open flame. Protect against moisture. Avoid contact with strong acids. Keep away from combustible material. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Ensure that air circulation is good in store and workplace. Use suitable protective gloves, protective goggles and protective clothes if there is risk of direct contact or splashing.

EXPOSURE CONTROL

Contaminated clothing to be placed in closed container until disposal or decontamination. Warn cleaning personnel of chemical´´s hazardous properties. Wash at the end of each work shift and before eating, smoking and using the toilet.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION

At work in confined or poorly ventilated spaces, respiratory protection with air supply must be used. If ventilation is insufficient, suitable respiratory protection must be applied. If ventilation is insufficient, use a respirator with A filter.

EYE PROTECTION

Use approved safety goggles or face shield. Wear approved, tight fitting safety glasses where splashing is probable.

HAND PROTECTION

Chemical resistant gloves required for prolonged or repeated contact.

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING

Use suitable protective clothing as protection against splashing and contamination.

Stability and reactivity

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS

Incomplete combustion/thermal decomposition will generate smoke, carbon dioxide and hazardous gases, which will include carbon monoxide. Nitrous gases (toxic if inhaled) may be formed on heating or in a fire.
