Separate eyelids, wash the eyes thoroughly with water (15 min.). Seek medical assistance.

After ingestion
Call in a physician immediately and show him the Safety Data Sheet. Rinse out mouth and give plenty of water to drink. Administer vitamin C as antidote and cause immediate vomiting. Toxic effect is superior to acid effect.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media
Product itself is non-combustible; adapt fire extinguishing measures to surrounding areas.

Unsuitable extinguishing media
Water

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
In case of combustion evolution of dangerous gases possible.

dvice for firefighters
Use self-contained breathing apparatus. Fire residues and contaminated firefighting water must be disposed of in accordance with the local regulations. Wear protective clothing.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
For non-emergency personnel
Refer to protective measures listed below. Remove persons to safety. Avoid dust formation. Use breathing apparatus if exposed to vapours/dust/aerosol.

For emergency responders
Use personal protective equipment (PPE)

Environmental precautions
Do not discharge into the drains/surface waters/groundwater.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Take up mechanically. Send in suitable containers for recovery or disposal.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling
Advice on safe handling
Provide good ventilation of working area (local exhaust ventilation, if necessary). Avoid the formation and deposition of dust. If workplace exposure limits are exceeded, respiratory protection approved for this particular job must be worn.

General protective and hygiene measures
Do not eat, drink or smoke during work time. Keep away from foodstuffs and beverages. Wash hands before breaks and after work. Do not inhale dust. Store work clothing separately. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Provide eye wash fountain in work area. Have emergency shower available.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Technical measures and storage conditions
Keep container tightly closed and dry in a cool, well-ventilated place.

Requirements for storage rooms and vessels
Store product in closed containers. Keep only in the original container.

Advice on storage assembly
Do not store together with foodstuffs. Keep away from water. Metals which are attacked by an alkaline medium.
