Administrative data

First-aid measures

- Following inhalation:

fresh air. Consult doctor if feeling unwell.

- Following skin contact:

wash off with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing.

- Following eye contact:

rinse out with plenty of water with the eyelid held wide open. Call in ophthalmologist if necessary.

- Following ingestion:

immediately make victim drink water (two glasses at most). Consult a physician.

- Most important symptoms and effects: The following applies to boron compounds in general: resorption is followed by nausea and vomiting, agitation<(>,<)> spasms, CNS disorders, cardiovascular disorders.

Fire-fighting measures

- Suitable extinguishing media:

Water, Foam, Carbon dioxide (CO₂), 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: Development of hazardous combustion gases or vapours possible in the event of fire.

Fire may cause evolution of: Hydrogen fluoride, boron compounds

- Advice for fire fighter:

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

Accidental release measures

- Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Advice for non-emergency personnel: Avoid inhalation of dusts. Avoid substance contact. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate the danger area, observe emergency procedures, consult an expert.

Advice for emergency responders:

Protective equipment see section "Exposure controls/personal protection".

- Environmental precautions:

Do not let product enter drains.

- Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Cover drains. Collect, bind, and pump off spills. Observe possible material restrictions (see sections "Handling and storage" and "Stability and reactivity"). Take up dry. Dispose of properly. Clean up affected area. Avoid generation of dusts.

Handling and storage

- Precautions for safe handling:

Observe label precautions.

- Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Tightly closed. Dry. Store at +15°C to +25°C.

Exposure controls / personal protection

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

2. Hand protection

- full contact: Glove material: Nitrile rubber

                   Glove thickness: 0.11 mm

                   Break through time: > 480 min

- splash contact: Glove material: Nitrile rubber

         Glove thickness: 0.11 mm

         Break through time: > 480 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 741 Dermatril® L (full contact), KCL 741 Dermatril® L (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).

3. Eye protection: Safety glasses

4. Respiratory protection: required when dusts are generated.

Recommended Filter type: Filter P 1 (acc. to DIN 3181) for solid particles of inert substances

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.

5. Other protective equipment: protective clothing

Stability and reactivity

1. Reactivity

: The following applies in general to flammable organic substances and preparations: in correspondingly fine distribution, when whirled up a dust explosion potential may generally be assumed.

2. Chemical stability

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

3. Possibility of hazardous reactions: Violent reactions possible with:

Strong oxidizing agents.

4. Conditions to avoid: no information available

5. Incompatible materials: no information available

6. Hazardous decomposition products: in the event of fire: See chapter "Fire-fighting measures".
