First-aid measures

INHALATION

Remove to fresh air, treat symptomatically. If symptoms develop, seek medical advice.

SKIN CONTACT

Immediately wash with plenty of soap and water. If symptoms develop, seek medical advice.

EYE CONTACT

Immediately flush eye with water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids open. Get medical attention.

INGESTION

If conscious, washout mouth and give water to drink. Get medical attention.

Based on the individual reactions of the patient, the physician's judgement should be used to control symptoms and clinical condition.

Fire-fighting measures

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA

This product would not be expected to burn unless all the water is boiled away. The remaining organics may be

ignitable. Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire.

Suitable extinguishing media: Foam, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Dry powder.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD:

May evolve oxides of carbon (COx) under fire conditions. May evolve oxides of nitrogen (NOx) under fire

conditions.

SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIRE FIGHTING

In case of fire, wear a full face positive-pressure self contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.

Accidental release measures

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS :

Restrict access to area as appropriate until clean-up operations are complete. Use personal protective equipment. Stop or reduce any leaks if it

is safe to do so. Ventilate spill area if possible. Ensure clean-up is conducted by trained personnel

only. Do not touch spilled material. Have emergency equipment (for fires, spills, leaks, etc.) readily available.

Notify appropriate government, occupational health and safety and environmental authorities.

METHODS FOR CLEANING UP

SMALL SPILLS: Soak up spill with absorbent material. Place residues in a suitable, covered, properly labeled

container. Wash affected area.

LARGE SPILLS: Contain liquid using absorbent material, by digging trenches or by diking. Reclaim into recovery or salvage drums or tank truck

for proper disposal. Clean contaminated surfaces with water or aqueous cleaning agents. Contact an approved waste hauler for disposal of

contaminated recovered material. Dispose of material in compliance with regulations

ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS

Prevent material from entering sewers or waterways.

Handling and storage

HANDLING :

Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Do not take internally. Use with adequate ventilation. Do not breathe aerosols/

vapors/gases/dust. Keep the containers closed when not in use. Have emergency equipment (for fires, spills,

leaks, etc.) readily available. Ensure all containers are labeled.

STORAGE CONDITIONS :

Store in suitable labeled containers. Store the containers tightly closed.  Store separately from oxidizers.

SUITABLE CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL :

Carbon Steel C1018, Stainless Steel 304, Stainless Steel 316L, PTFE, Perfluoroelastomer, TFE, FEP

(encapsulated), Viton, MDPE, HDPE (high density polyethylene)

UNSUITABLE CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL :

Compatibility with Plastic Materials can vary,  compatibility should be tested prior to use.,

Exposure controls / personal protection

GENERAL ADVICE

The use and choice of personal protection equipment is related to the hazard of the substance, the workplace and the way the substance is handled. In general, as a minimum precaution safety glasses with side-shields and work clothes protecting arms, legs and body should be used. In addition any person visiting an area where this product is handled should at least wear safety glasses with side-shields. The applicable European standard can be found in EN 166.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION

At ambient temperature none needed for vapour. If product is heated or if aerosol generation is likely, use of a half face filter mask. A suitable filter material depends on the amount and type of chemicals being handled. Consider the use of filter type: A-P The applicable European standard can be found in EN 140, EN 137, EN 143 and EN 14387. In event of emergency or planned entry into unknown concentrations a positive pressure, full-face piece SCBA should be used. If respiratory protection is required, institute a complete respiratory protection program including selection, fit testing, training, maintenance and inspection.

HAND PROTECTION

When handling this substance, use chemical gloves. The choice of work glove depends on work conditions and what chemicals are handled, under light handling conditions consider using gloves made from PVC. Gloves should be replaced immediately if signs of degradation are observed. The applicable European standard can be found in EN 374.

SKIN PROTECTION

See general advice. The applicable European standard can be found in EN ISO 20345.

EYE PROTECTION

When handling this substance, the use of safety glasses with side shields is recommended. The applicable European standard can be found in EN 166.

Stability and reactivity

STABILITY

Stable under normal conditions.

HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION

Hazardous polymerization will not occur.

CONDITIONS TO AVOID

Heat

MATERIALS TO AVOID

Contact with strong oxidizers (e.g. chlorine, peroxides, chromates, nitric acid, perchlorate, concentrated oxygen,

permanganate) may generate heat, fires, explosions and/or toxic vapors.

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS

Under fire conditions: Oxides of carbon, Oxides of nitrogen

Disposal considerations

Dispose of wastes in an approved incinerator or waste treatment/disposal site, in accordance with all applicable

regulations. Do not dispose of wastes in local sewer or with normal garbage. This substance will generate an ash if

burned. It can be burned directly in appropriate equipment. Any chemical waste is a potential environmental

pollutant and is NOT suitable for disposal via ground, municipal sewers, drains, natural streams or rivers.

Empty drums should be taken for recycling, recovery, or disposal through a suitably qualified or licensed

contractor. Use only authorized contractors.
