Administrative data
First-aid measures
Inhalation: Get medical attention immediately. Move exposed person to fresh
air. If it is suspected that fumes are still present, the rescuer
should wear an appropriate mask or self-contained breathing
apparatus. Keep person warm and at rest. If not breathing, if
breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial
respiration or oxygen by trained personnel. It may be dangerous to
the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If
unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention
immediately. Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing such
as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. In case of inhalation of
decomposition products in a fire, symptoms may be delayed. The exposed person may need to be kept under medical surveillance for 48 hours.
Ingestion: Get medical attention immediately. Wash out mouth with water.
Move exposed person to fresh air. Keep person warm and at rest.
If material has been swallowed and the exposed person is
conscious, give small quantities of water to drink. Stop if the
exposed person feels sick as vomiting may be dangerous. Do not
induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. If
vomiting occurs, the head should be kept low so that vomit does
not enter the lungs. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. If unconscious, place in recovery position
and get medical attention immediately. Maintain an open airway.
Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.
Skin contact: Get medical attention immediately. Flush contaminated skin with
plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.
Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. Wash clothing before
reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse.
Eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the
upper and lower eyelids. Check for and remove any contact
lenses. Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. Get medical
attention.

Special precautions for firefighters: Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the
vicinity of the incident if there is a fire. No action shall be taken
involving any personal risk or without suitable training.
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and selfcontained
breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece
operated in positive pressure mode.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without
suitable training. Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary
and unprotected personnel from entering. Do not touch or walk
through spilt material. Avoid breathing vapour or mist. Provide
adequate ventilation. Put on appropriate personal protective
equipment.
Environmental precautions: Avoid dispersal of spilt material and runoff and contact with soil,
waterways, drains and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if
the product has caused environmental pollution (sewers,
waterways, soil or air).
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Small spill: Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Dilute
with water and mop up if water-soluble or absorb with an inert dry
material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container.
Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.
Large spill: Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Prevent
entry into sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas.
Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible, absorbent
material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth and
place in container for disposal according to local regulations. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.
Handling and storage
Manufacture and use of this chemical intermediate takes place under strictly controlled conditions, as described in Art. 17/18 REACH. The substance is rigorously contained during manufacturing and use and appropriate risk management measures including PPE (i.g. during charging or sampling) are applied. Occupational exposure is reduced to a minimum and well controlled by measurements. A management system covering all general aspects of a chemical production is in place, especially cleaning and maintenance of plants and equipment. An authorisation scheme based on instructions covering the whole process ensures that only trained and authorised staff handles the substance.
Precautions for safe handling: Put on appropriate personal protective equipment.
Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where
this material is handled, stored and processed. Workers should
wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking. Do not
get in eyes or on skin or clothing. Do not breathe vapour or mist. Do
not ingest. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate
respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Keep in the original
container or an approved alternative made from a compatible
material, kept tightly closed when not in use. Empty containers
retain product residue and can be hazardous. The product is
registered with strictly controlled conditions as defined in Article 17
(3) or 18(4) of regulation (EC) no. 1907/2006 (REACH Regulation)
and must therefore be handled as such. Refer to the industry
guidance prepared by Concawe/Cefic/EFCG for advice on the
confirmation of strictly controlled conditions.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original
container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and wellventilated
area, away from incompatible materials and food and drink. Store locked up. Keep container tightly closed
and sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been opened
must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do
not store in unlabelled containers. Use appropriate containment to
avoid environmental contamination.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Control parameters
Exposure limit values: Not available.
Recommended monitoring procedures: If this product contains ingredients with exposure limits, personal,
workplace atmosphere or biological monitoring may be required to
determine the effectiveness of the ventilation or other control
measures and/or the necessity to use respiratory protective
equipment. Reference should be made to monitoring standards,
such as the following: European Standard EN 689 (Workplace
atmospheres - Guidance for the assessment of exposure by
inhalation to chemical agents for comparison with limit values and
measurement strategy) European Standard EN 14042 (Workplace
atmospheres - Guide for the application and use of procedures for
the assessment of exposure to chemical and biological agents)
European Standard EN 482 (Workplace atmospheres - General
requirements for the performance of procedures for the
measurement of chemical agents) Reference to national guidance
documents for methods for the determination of hazardous substances will also be required.
