First-aid measures

Description of first aid measures

- General information:

Remove soiled or soaked clothing immediately.

- After inhalation:

When inhaled remove to fresh air and seek medical aid.

- After contact with skin:

In case of contact with skin wash off immediately with soap and water.

- After contact with eyes:

In case of contact with eyes rinse thoroughly with plenty of water and seek medical advice.

- After ingestion:

Summon a doctor immediately.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

- Symptoms:

No symptoms known currently.

- Hazards:

No hazards known at this time.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

- Treatment:

Treat symptomatically.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

- Suitable extinguishing media:

water spray jet

foam

carbon dioxide

dry powder

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

In case of fires, hazardous combustion gases are formed: Carbon monoxide (CO)

Nitrous gases (NOx)

Sulphur dioxide (SO2)

Advice for firefighters

- Special protective equipment for firefighting:

Use self-contained breathing apparatus.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Wear suitable personal protective equipment.

Environmental precautions:

Do not allow to enter drains or waterways.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:

Pick up mechanically. Rinse away rest with warm water.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

- Advice on safe handling:

Open and handle container with care.

- Hygiene measures:

Wash hands before breaks and after work.

Use barrier skin cream.

Remove soiled or soaked clothing immediately and clean thoroughly before using again.

- Advice on protection against fire and explosion:

Keep away from sources of ignition

Take precautionary measures against build-up of electrostatic charges, e.g earthing during loading and off-loading operations.

Dust can form an explosive mixture with air.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

- Further information on storage conditions:

Before taking product from the container, it must be homogenised.

If stored at temperatures below room temperature, separation can occur. If separation occurs, heat the whole container to 45-50 °C until the product is fully molten and homogenize by stirring. Cooled down to 20-25 °C the paste will form again. Recommended storage temperature: room temperature.

Specific end use(s):

No further recommendations.

Exposure controls / personal protection

General protective measures:

Avoid contact with eyes and skin.

Hand protection :

- For long-term exposure:

Butyl rubber gloves.

Minimum thickness (glove): not determined

With solid dry substances permeation is not to be expected, therefore the breakthrough-time for this protective glove has not been measured.

- For short-term exposure (splash protection):

Nitrile rubber gloves.

Minimum thickness (glove): not determined.

With solid dry substances permeation is not to be expected, therefore the breakthrough-time for this protective glove has not been measured.

These types of protective gloves are offered by various manufacturers. Please note the manufacturers´ detailed statements, especially about the minimum thickness and the minimum breakthrough time. Consider also the particular working conditions under which the gloves are being used.

Eye protection :

Depending on the risk, wear sufficient eye protection (safety glasses with side protection or goggles, and if necessary, face shield.)

Stability and reactivity

Reactivity:

See section  "Possibility of hazardous reactions"

Chemical stability:

Stable.

Possibility of hazardous reactions:

When handled and stored appropriately no dangerous reactions are known.

Conditions to avoid:

None known.

Incompatible materials:

not known.

Hazardous decomposition products:

No hazardous decomposition products known.

Disposal considerations

Waste treatment methods

- Product:

In accordance with local authority regulations, take to special waste incineration plant.

- Uncleaned packaging:

Packaging that cannot be cleaned should be disposed of as product waste.
