First-aid measures
Description of first aid measures
General advice : Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
Treat symptomatically.
Consult a physician.
Do not leave the victim unattended.
Protection of first-aiders : If potential for exposure exists refer to Section below for specific personal protective equipment.
Avoid inhalation, ingestion and contact with skin and eyes.
If inhaled : Move to fresh air. Oxygen or artificial respiration if needed. If symptoms persist, call a physician. If unconscious, place in recovery position and seek medical advice.
In case of skin contact : Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Use a mild soap if available. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.
In case of eye contact : Immediately flush eye(s) with plenty of water. Consult a physician. Keep eye wide open while rinsing. Protect unharmed eye. If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.
If swallowed : Call a physician immediately. Gently wipe or rinse the inside of the mouth with water. Do not give milk or alcoholic beverages. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
- Symptoms : Drowsiness
- Nausea
- Central nervous system depression
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Treatment : The first aid procedure should be established in consultation with the doctor responsible for industrial medicine.
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: High volume water jet
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Specific hazards during firefighting: Warning: water promotes the spread of fire.
Burning produces irritant fumes.
The pressure in sealed containers can increase under the influence of heat.
Exposure to decomposition products may be a hazard to health.
Advice for firefighters
Special protective equipment for firefighters: In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Use personal protective equipment. Exposure to decomposition products may be a hazard to health.
Further information: Cool containers/tanks with water spray.
Prevent fire-extinguishing water from contaminating surface water or the ground water system.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Personal precautions: Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Refer to protective measures listed in sections below (Handling and storage and Exposure controls/personal protection).
Ensure adequate ventilation.
Beware of vapours accumulating to form explosive concentrations. Vapours can accumulate in low areas.
Remove all sources of ignition.
Make sure that there is a sufficient amount of neutralizing/absorbent material near the storage area.
Mark the contaminated area with signs and prevent access to unauthorized personnel.
Environmental precautions
Environmental precautions: Do not allow contact with soil, surface or ground water.
Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained.
Prevent spreading over a wide area (e.g. by containment or oil barriers). Retain and dispose of contaminated wash water.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Methods for cleaning up:
Contain spillage, soak up with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and transfer to a container for disposal according to local / national regulations.
Sweep up and shovel into suitable containers for disposal.
Clean contaminated surface thoroughly.
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Advice on safe handling: Provide sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in workrooms.
Ensure all equipment is electrically grounded before beginning transfer operations.
Avoid inhalation, ingestion and contact with skin and eyes.
Keep away from fire, sparks and heated surfaces.
Keep container closed when not in use.
Advice on protection against fire and explosion: Take necessary action to avoid static electricity discharge (which might cause ignition of organic vapours). Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition.
Hygiene measures: Store personal protection equipment in a clean location away from the work area. Keep working clothes separately.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Requirements for storage areas and containers: Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Do not store together with explosives, gases, oxidizing solids, products which form flammable gases in contact with water, oxidizing products, infectious products and radioactive products.
Advice on common storage: Keep away from oxidizing agents, strongly alkaline and strongly acid materials in order to avoid exothermic reactions.
Specific end use(s)
Specific use(s): Consult the technical guidelines for the use of this substance/mixture.
