First-aid measures

General measures:

Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.

Description of first aid measures

Inhalation

Move to fresh air. Call a physician if symptoms develop or persist.

Skin contact

Remove contaminated clothing immediately and wash skin with soap and water. In case of eczema or other skin disorders: Seek medical attention and take along these instructions. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.

Eye contact

Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.

Ingestion

Rinse mouth. If vomiting occurs, keep head low so that stomach content doesn't get into the lungs. Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

Severe eye irritation. Symptoms may include stinging, tearing, redness, swelling, and blurred vision. Skin irritation. May cause redness and pain. May cause an allergic skin reaction. Dermatitis. Rash.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically. Keep victim warm. Keep victim under observation. Symptoms may be delayed.

Fire-fighting measures

General fire hazards

No unusual fire or explosion hazards noted.

Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media

Water fog. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2).

Unsuitable extinguishing media

Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed.

Advice for firefighters

Special protective equipment for firefighters

Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.

Special fire fighting procedures

Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk.

Specific methods

Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials.

Accidental release measures

6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Wear

appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Avoid breathing mist or vapour. Do

not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing.

Ensure adequate ventilation. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be

contained.

For non-emergency personnel

Keep unnecessary personnel away. Use personal protection recommended in the

SDS.

For emergency responders

Avoid release to the environment. Inform appropriate managerial or supervisory personnel of all

environmental releases. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Avoid discharge into

drains, water courses or onto the ground.

6.2. Environmental precautions

This product is miscible in water. Prevent product from entering drains.

Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is

possible. Cover with plastic sheet to prevent spreading. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth

and place into containers. Following product recovery, flush area with water.

Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to

remove residual contamination.

Never return spills to original containers for re-use.

Handling and storage

7.1. Precautions for safe handling

Provide adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing mist or vapour. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and

clothing. Do not taste or swallow. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Wear appropriate

personal protective equipment. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Avoid release to the

environment. Observe good industrial hygiene practices.

7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Store in original tightly closed container. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10

of the SDS). Store at ambient temperatures. Prolonged storage in a closed container at elevated

temperatures can cause formation of compounds that are spontaneously combustible when

exposed to air oxygen.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Appropriate engineering controls

Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates

should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation,

or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If

exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Eye

wash facilities and emergency shower must be available when handling this product.

Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment

Use personal protective equipment as required. Personal protection equipment should be chosen

according to the CEN standards and in discussion with the supplier of the personal protective

equipment.

General information

Eye/face protection

Face shield is recommended. Chemical respirator with organic vapour cartridge and full facepiece.

Skin protection

- Hand protection For prolonged or repeated skin contact use suitable protective gloves.

- Other Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing. Use of an impervious apron is recommended.

Respiratory protection

Chemical respirator with organic vapour cartridge and full facepiece.

Thermal hazards

Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary.

Hygiene measures

Keep away from food and drink. Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as

washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash

work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants. Contaminated work clothing

should not be allowed out of the workplace.

Environmental exposure

Inform appropriate managerial or supervisory personnel of all environmental releases.
