Administrative data
First-aid measures
Remove contaminated clothing. If adverse health effects develop seek medical attention.
If inhaled: Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air, seek medical attention.
On skin contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water.
On contact with eyes: Immediately wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open, consult an eye specialist.
On ingestion: Rinse mouth and then drink plenty of water.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Treatment: Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions), no known specific antidote.
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media: foam, dry powder, water spray
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Harmful vapours.
Evolution of fumes/fog. The substances/groups of substances mentioned can be released in case of fire.
Advice for fire-fighters
Special protective equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-protective clothing.
Further information: The degree of risk is governed by the burning substance and the fire conditions. Contaminated extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with official regulations.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Use personal protective clothing. Information regarding personal protective measures, see "Exposure controls / personal protection".
Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Environmental precautions
Contain contaminated water/firefighting water. Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
For large amounts: Pump off product.
For residues: Pick up with suitable absorbent material. Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with regulations.
Reference to other sections
Information regarding exposure controls/personal protection and disposal considerations can be found in sections "Exposure controls / personal protection" and "Disposal consideration".

Exposure controls / personal protection
Components with workplace control parameters: none
Exposure controls
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection: Not needed.
Hand protection: Suitable are protective gloves with the following specification. The recommendation is valid for laboratory conditions, specific
workplace conditions must be taken into consideration separately. Suitable materials also with prolonged, direct contact (Recommended: Protective
index 6, corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to EN 374).
Eye protection: Tightly fitting safety goggles (splash goggles) (e.g. EN 166).
General safety and hygiene measures
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wearing of closed work clothing is recommended.
Stability and reactivity
Reactivity: No hazardous reactions if stored and handled as prescribed/indicated.
Chemical stability: The product is stable if stored and handled as prescribed/indicated.
Possibility of hazardous reactions: None if used for intended purpose.
Conditions to avoid: see "Handling and storage".
Incompatible materials
Substances to avoid: acids, Alkalines, caustics, halogens, reactive chemicals

Disposal considerations
Waste treatment methods: Special waste incineration with the approval of the responsible local authority.
Contaminated packaging: Uncontaminated packaging can be re-used.
Packs that cannot be cleaned should be disposed of in the same manner as the contents.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
