First-aid measures

Following inhalation: Remove casualty to fresh air and keep warm and at rest. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration.
If unconscious place in recovery position and seek medical advice.
In case of skin contact: Remove contaminated, saturated clothing immediately. After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water
and soap. Do not wash with: Solvents/Thinner.
After eye contact: In case of contact with eyes flush immediately with plenty of flowing water for 10 to 15 minutes holding eyelids apart and consult anophthalmologist. Protect uninjured eye.
After ingestion: If accidentally swallowed rinse the mouth with plenty of water (only if the person is conscious) and obtain immediate medical
attention. Do NOT induce vomiting. Keep at rest.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media: alcohol resistant foam, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Extinguishing powder, Water mist
Unsuitable extinguishing media: Full water jet.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture: In case of fire toxic gases may be formed. In flames as well as on hot surfaces toxic and
decomposition products with penetrating smell may be formed.
Advice for firefighters: In case of fire: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Additional information: Cool endangered containers with water in case of fire. Do not allow run-off from fire-fighting to enter drains or water courses

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Provide adequate ventilation. Wear breathing apparatus if exposed to
vapours/dusts/aerosols.
Environmental precautions: Do not allow to enter into surface water or drains. Do not allow to enter into soil/subsoil. In case of gas escape or of
entry into waterways, soil or drains, inform the responsible authorities.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Absorb with liquid-binding material (e.g. sand, diatomaceous earth, acid-or universal bindingagents). Collect in closed and suitable containers for disposal. Clean contaminated objects and areas thoroughly observing environmental
regulations. Ventilate affected area.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling: If handled uncovered, arrangements with local exhaust ventilation should be used if possible. Normal precautions
taken when handling chemicals should be observed. Wear breathing apparatus if exposed to vapours/dusts/aerosols. Provide working site with
eye and safety showers. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not eat or drink during work -no smoking. Comply with the health and safety at work
laws.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Keep container tightly closed and in a well-ventilated place. Containers which are
opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Containers should be kept dry and sealed.
Further information on storage conditions: Always keep in containers of same material as the original one. See also instructions on the label. Avoidheating and direct sunlight.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Personal protection equipment
Eye/face protection: Eye glasses with side protection.
Skin protection:
Hand protection: The quality of the protective gloves resistant to chemicals must be chosen as a function of the specific working place
concentration and quantity of hazardous substances. Avoid contact with the skin and mouth. After washing hands replace lost skin fat by fat
containing skin creams.
Body protection: Use appropriate skin protection cream before work. Chemical resistant safety clothing.
Respiratory protection: If technical exhaust or ventilation measures are not possible or insufficient, respiratory protection must be worn.
Selfcontained respirator (breathing apparatus) (DIN EN 133).
General health and safety measures: The usual precautionary measures for the handling of chemicals have to be observed. Do not eat or drink
during work -no smoking. Wash hands and face before breaks and after work and take a shower if necessary.

Stability and reactivity

Chemical stability: The substance is chemically stable under recommended conditions of storage, use and temperature.
Conditions to avoid: Stable under recommended storage and handling conditions. Do not store at temperatures above 40°C.
Incompatible materials: Strong oxidizing agents.

Disposal considerations

Do not empty into waters or drains. Dispose according to legislation.
Product/Packaging disposal: Contaminated packages must be completely emptied and can be re-used following proper cleaning.
Handle contaminated packages in the same way as the substance itself.
