First-aid measures

Description of first aid measures

After inhalation: fresh air. Consult doctor if feeling unwell. Keep respiratory tract clear. Call a physician immediately.

After skin contact: wash off with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing.

After eye contact: rinse out with plenty of water. Immediately call in ophthalmologist.

After swallowing: caution if victim vomits. Risk of aspiration.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

irritant effects

Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media

Water, Carbon dioxide (CO₂), Foam, Dry powder

Unsuitable extinguishing media

For this substance/mixture no limitations of extinguishing agents are given

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Combustible material, Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors.

Forms explosive mixtures with air at elevated temperatures.

Development of hazardous combustion gases or vapours possible in the event of fire.

Fire may cause evolution of: Hydrogen fluoride

Advice for firefighters

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters

Stay in danger area only with self-contained breathing apparatus. Prevent skin contact by keeping a safe distance or by wearing suitable protective clothing.

Further information

Prevent fire extinguishing water from contaminating surface water or the ground water system. Suppress (knock down) gases/vapours/mists with a water spray jet.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Advice for non-emergency personnel: Avoid substance contact. Do not breathe vapours, aerosols. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate the danger area, observe emergency procedures, consult an expert.

Advice for emergency responders: Protective equipment see respective section.

Environmental precautions

Do not empty into drains. Risk of explosion.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up

Cover drains. Collect, bind, and pump off spills.

Observe possible material restrictions (see respective sections).

Take up with liquid-absorbent material (e.g. Chemizorb® ). Dispose of properly. Clean up affected area.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Observe label precautions.

Advice on protection against fire and explosion

Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Take precautionary measures against static discharge.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.

Store at +15°C to +25°C.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Engineering measures

Technical measures and appropriate working operations should be given priority over the use of personal protective equipment.

Individual protection measures

Protective clothing needs to be selected specifically for the workplace, depending on concentrations and quantities of the hazardous substances handled. The chemical resistance of the protective equipment should be enquired at the respective supplier.

Hygiene measures

Immediately change contaminated clothing. Apply preventive skin protection. Wash hands and face after working with substance.

Eye/face protection

Safety glasses

Hand protection

splash contact:

Glove material: butyl-rubber

Glove thickness: 0,7 mm

Break through time: > 10 min

The protective gloves to be used must comply with the specifications of EC Directive 89/686/EEC and the related standard EN374, for example KCL 898 Butoject® (splash contact).

This recommendation applies only to the product stated in the safety data sheet<(>,<)> supplied by us and for the designated use. When dissolving in or mixing with other substances and under conditions deviating from those stated in EN374 please contact the supplier of CE-approved gloves (e.g. KCL GmbH, D-36124 Eichenzell, Internet: www.kcl.de).

Other protective equipment:

Flame retardant antistatic protective clothing

Respiratory protection

required when vapours/aerosols are generated.

Recommended Filter type: filter ABEK

The entrepeneur has to ensure that maintenance, cleaning and testing of respiratory protective devices are carried out according to the instructions of the producer. These measures have to be properly documented.

Environmental exposure controls

Do not empty into drains.

Risk of explosion.

Stability and reactivity

Reactivity

Vapour/air-mixtures are explosive at intense warming.

Chemical stability

The product is chemically stable under standard ambient conditions (room temperature) .

Possibility of hazardous reactions

Violent reactions possible with: Strong oxidizing agents

Conditions to avoid

Heating.

A range from approx. 15 Kelvin below the flash point is to be rated as critical.

Incompatible materials

no information available

Hazardous decomposition products

in the event of fire: See respective section.
