Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Description of first aid measures:

Pay attention to self-protection.

Remove victims from hazardous area.

Immediately remove soiled or soaked clothing and remove it to a safe distance. Keep victim warm, in a stabilized position and covered.

Do not leave victims unattended.

If the casualty is unconscious: Place the victim in the recovery position.

Inhalation:

Potential for exposure by inhalation if aerosols or mists are generated.

Move victims into fresh air.

With labored breathing: Provide with oxygen. Consult a doctor.

If the casualty is not breathing: Perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, notify emergency physician immediately.

Skin contact:

Wash off affected area immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.

If symptoms persist, consult a physician for treatment.

Eye contact:

With eye held open, thoroughly rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 10 minutes.

Consult an ophthalmologist immediately if the symptoms persist.

When dealing with caustic substances, notify emergency physician immediately (key words: burns in eye).

Ingestion:

Rinse out mouth.

Immediately give large quantities of water to drink.

Consult a physician immediately.

When dealing with caustic substances, notify emergency physician immediately.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed:

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed:

The initial focus is only on the local action, characterized by quickly progressing deep tissue damage.

In the eye, caustic/ irritating and harmful liquids cause, depending on the intensity of exposure, various levels of irritation, destruction, and ablation of the epithelium of the conjunctiva and cornea, corneal clouding, edema and ulcerations.

Danger! Possible loss of eyesight!

Superficial irritations and damage up to ulcerations and scarring develop on the skin.

After accidental absorption in the body, the pathology and clinical findings are dependent on the kinetics of the substance (quantity of absorbed substance, the absorption time, and the effectiveness of early elimination measures (first aid)/ excretion - metabolism).

A specific action of the substance is unknown.

In case of substances with high water solubility, irritations up to formation of necrosis in the upper respiratory tract may result after inhalation of caustic/ irritating aerosols and mists.

The initial focus is on the local action: signs of irritation of the respiratory tract such as coughing, burning behind the sternum, tears, burning in the eyes or nose.

There is a risk of pulmonary edema!

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media:

Water spray, mist, carbon dioxide (CO2), dry powder.

Unsuitable extinguishing media:

High volume water jet.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

In the case of fire, the following hazardous smoke fumes may be produced:

Hydrogen chloride

Carbon monoxide

Combustible air-vapour mixtures are heavier than the air and spread along the floor. Ignition from a considerable distance is possible.

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters:

Wear suitable protective clothing.

Wear a self contained respiratory apparatus.

Advice for firefighters:

Water used to extinguish fire should not enter drainage systems, soil, or stretches of water Ensure there are sufficient retaining facilities for water used to extinguish fire.

Contaminated fire-extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with the regulations issued by the appropriate local authorities.

In case of fire cool containers or take them to a safe place.

Fire residues should be disposed of in accordance with the regulations.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
