Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
General advice:
Immediate medical attention is required.
Move out of dangerous area.
Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
If inhaled:
If breathed in, move person into fresh air.
Consult a physician after significant exposure.
In case of skin contact:
Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately.
Rinse immediately with plenty of water.
Immediate medical treatment is necessary as untreated wounds from corrosion of the skin heal slowly and with difficulty.
In case of eye contact:
Rinse with plenty of water.
Get medical attention immediately. Continue to rinse during transport.
Remove contact lenses.
Protect unharmed eye.
Keep eye wide open while rinsing.
Small amounts splashed into eyes can cause irreversible tissue damage and blindness.
If swallowed:
Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Take victim immediately to hospital.
Do not induce vomiting! May cause chemical burns in mouth and throat.
4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Symptoms:
The symptoms and effects are as expected from the hazards as shown in section 2. No specific product related symptoms are known.
Risks:
Harmful if swallowed.
Causes serious eye damage.
May cause drowsiness or dizziness.
Causes severe burns.
4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Treatment:
Treat symptomatically.
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
- Suitable extinguishing media: Alcohol-resistant foam; Carbon dioxide (CO2); Dry chemical
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
- Specific hazards during firefighting / Specific hazards arising from the chemical: Water spray may be ineffective unless used by experienced firefighters; Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.
- Combustion products: Carbon oxides; Nitrogen oxides (NOx); Halogenated compounds; Hydrogen chloride
Advice for firefighters
- Special protective equipment for firefighters: In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Further information:
- Use water spray to cool unopened containers.
- Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This must not be discharged into drains.
- Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
-For safety reasons in case of fire, cans should be stored separately in closed containments.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions:
- Use personal protective equipment.
- Wear respiratory protection.
- Ensure adequate ventilation.
- Remove all sources of ignition.

Emergency measures on accidental release:
- Evacuate personnel to safe areas.
- Only qualified personnel equipped with suitable protective equipment may intervene.
- Prevent unauthorised persons entering the zone.
Environmental precautions:
- Prevent product from entering drains.
- Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
Methods for cleaning up / Methods for containment:
- Contain spillage, and then collect with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according to local / national regulations
Handling and storage
