Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
General advice:
Immediately remove contaminated clothing. If danger of loss of consciousness, place patient in recovery position and transport accordingly. Apply artificial respiration if necessary. First aid personnel should pay attention to their own safety.
If inhaled:
Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air, seek medical attention.
On skin contact:
Wash thoroughly with soap and water.
On contact with eyes:
Immediately wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open, consult an eye specialist.
On ingestion:
Rinse mouth immediately and then drink plenty of water, seek medical attention.
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media:
dry powder, foam, carbon dioxide
Special protective equipment:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-protective clothing.
Further information:
Collect contaminated extinguishing water separately, do not allow to reach sewage or effluent systems.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions:
Breathing protection required. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing.
Environmental precautions:
Do not empty into drains.
Methods for cleaning up or taking up:
For small amounts: Pick up with suitable absorbent material (e.g. sand, sawdust, general-purpose binder, kieselguhr). Dispose of contaminated material as prescribed.
For large amounts: Pump off product.
Handling and storage
Handling
Ensure thorough ventilation of stores and work areas.
Protection against fire and explosion:
Prevent electrostatic charge - sources of ignition should be kept well clear - fire extinguishers should be kept handy.
Storage
Further information on storage conditions: Containers should be stored tightly sealed in a dry place.

Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection:
Wear respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate.
Hand protection:
Suitable materials also with prolonged, direct contact (Recommended: Protective index 6, corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to EN 374):
butyl rubber (butyl) - 0.7 mm coating thickness
fluoroelastomer (FKM) - 0.7 mm coating thickness
Supplementary note: The specifications are based on tests, literature data and information of glove manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions (e.g. temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined through testing.
Eye protection:
Tightly fitting safety goggles (splash goggles) (e.g. EN 166)
Body protection:
light protective clothing
General safety and hygiene measures:
Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. Do not breathe vapour/spray.
Stability and reactivity
Hazardous reactions:
No hazardous reactions if stored and handled as prescribed/indicated.
Disposal considerations
Incinerate in suitable incineration plant, observing local authority regulations.
Contaminated packaging:
Contaminated packaging should be emptied as far as possible; then it can be passed on for recycling after being thoroughly cleaned.
