First-aid measures

The substance is very toxic by inhalation and harmful by ingestion

Inhalation              

If exposure has occurred and any discomfort is noticed, remove the exposed person to fresh air. If discomfort increases, obtain medical attention immediately and prepare for emergency action: artificial respiration or cardiopulmonary resuscitation as required, preferably by trained personnel, and transport the victim to an emergency care facility.

If breathing has stopped, immediately start artificial respiration and maintain until a physician takes charge of the exposed person. Use

a bag valve mask or similar device to perform artificial respiration.

Skin contact              

Immediately remove contaminated clothing and footwear and wash with water and soap. Get medical attention if irritation develops.

Eye contact              

Immediately rinse eyes with much water or eyewash solution, occasionally opening eyelids, until no evidence of chemical remains. Remove contact lenses after a few minutes and rinse again. Get medical attention if irritation develops.

Ingestion              

Let the exposed person rinse mouth and let him/her drink several glasses of water or milk. Inducing vomiting is not recommended. If vomiting does occur, let him/her rinse mouth and give fluids again. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention immediately.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

Redness and sores

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

In case of inhalation, ingestion or eye contact, call a doctor (physician), clinic or hospital immediately.

It may be helpful to show this safety data sheet to physician.

Note to physician              

There is no specific antidote against this substance. Gastric lavage and administration of activated charcoal can be considered.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media              

Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or foam. Avoid heavy hose streams.

      

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture       

The essential breakdown products on combustion are hydrogen fluoride, nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and various fluorinated organic compounds.

      

Advice for firefighters              

If appropriate, keep fire-exposed containers cool with water spray. Fight fire from maximum possible distance. In case of large fire, firemen should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing.

Accidental release measures

The substance is very toxic by inhalation and harmful by ingestion

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures       

      Respiratory protection       

      Provide local exhaust ventilation system. The possibility of inhalation of vapour or dust must be excluded as much as possible.

             

      Protective gloves              

      Wear long chemical resistant gloves such as barrier laminate, butyl rubber, nitrile rubber or viton for all manual work with the substance. Before removing gloves, wash them with water and soap.

             

      Eye protection              

      Wear safety glasses or face mask. The possibility of eye contact must be excluded.

             

      Other skin protection       

      Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing to avoid all skin contact. Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Wash protective clothing after each use.

      

Avoid and reduce dust formation as much as possible.

      

Environmental precautions              

Do not release to the environment.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up       

Spills on the floor or other impervious surface should be swept up with an absorptive material such as universal binder, hydrated lime or absorbent clay. Collect the contaminated absorbent in closable container for disposal. Wet clean area with detergent and water

Handling and storage

Precautions to be taken in handling: It is recommended to avoid all personal contact with the product, if possible by use of closed systems and remote system control. Otherwise it is recommended to handle the material by mechanical means as much as possible. Adequate ventilation or local exhaust ventilation is required. The exhaust gases should be filtered or treated otherwise.
