Administrative data
First-aid measures
- Consult a doctor/medical service
- Rinse immediately with plenty of water for 15 minutes
- Do not apply neutralizing agents
Skin contact:
- Consult a doctor/medical service
- Wash immediately with lots of water and soap for 15 minutes
- Remove clothing while washing
After inhalation:
- Consult a doctor/medical service if breathing problems develop
- Remove the victim into fresh air
- Unconscious: maintain adequate airway and respiration
After ingestion:
- Consult a doctor/medical service if you feel unwell
- Immediately give lots of water to drink
- Never give water to an unconscious person
- Do not induce vomiting
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media:
- The product is non-combustible.
- Use fire-extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding materials.
Unsuitable extinguishing media:
- Water may be ineffective.
SPECIFIC HAZARDS
- Corrosive liquid.
- Not combustible.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Use fire fighting water moderately and contain it.
- Use water spray to cool tanks/containers exposed to heat / remove them into safety.
PROTECTIVE MEASURES FOR FIRE-FIGHTERS
- Wear self contained breathing apparatus in case of fire.
- Wear corrosionproof suit
Accidental release measures
- Isolate the area.
- Evacuate personnel to safe areas
- Approach from upwind.
- Ventilate the area.
- Keep away from incompatible products
- Wear chemical resistant personal protective equipment
- Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
- Abundant running water should be available for emergency use.
- Refer to protective measures listed in sections handling and storage and exposure controls/personal protection.
2. Environmental precautions
- Should not be released into the environment.
- Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.
- Dam up the liquid spill.
- Contain leaking substance, pump over in suitable containers
- Notify environmental personnel
3. Methods for cleaning up
- Take up liquid spill with inert absorbent material.
- Scoop absorbed substance into closing containers.
- Carefully collect spill / leftovers.
- Equipment must be corrosion resistant.
- Flush contaminated areas with large amounts of water and direct rinsings to chemical sewer or collect for treatment.
Handling and storage
- Observe strict hygiene - avoid eye and skin contact.
- Avoid splashing of material.
- Safety showers should be readily available in handling and storage areas.
- Eye wash fountains should be located in the work areas and should be immediately accessible for emergency use.
- Remove contaminated clothing immediately.
- When diluting, always add the product to water. Never add water to the product.
- Keep away from incompatible products.
2. Storage
- Store in a well-ventilated area.
- Store at ambient temperature.
- Keep container tightly closed.
- KOH in contact with water or moisture may result in enough heat to ignite combustibles.
- Keep away from : heat sources, highly flammable materials, incompatible products.
Packaging material
- Suitable: stainless steel, synthetic material / polyethylene, glass
- To avoid: lead, aluminium, copper, tin, zinc, bronze
