Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Move to fresh air.
Emergency measure - Eyes: Flush eyes with copious amounts of water and seek medical
attention.
Emergency measure - Skin: Wash affected area with soap and water.
Emergency measure - Ingestion: If swallowed give water to drink and seek medical attention
immediately.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Extinguishing media: alcohol resistant foam, dry chemical or
carbon dioxide. Water should be used to keep container cool.

Product arising from burning: Hazardous decomposition products: ammonia, carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen.

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Wear protective clothing and self-contained breathing
apparatus.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Small quantities (up to 15 litres): flush to chemical or
municipal sewer leading to a treatment facility. Larger
quantities: absorb into clay, sand or earth, place in
appropiate containers and dispose by incineration or take to
chemically secure land disposal site. Prevent spillage
directly entering surface water, drains or navigable waters.
Wear appropriate respiratory and skin protective equipment
whilst containing spillage.

Handling and storage

Handling: Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wear chemical goggles or
face shield, butyl rubber type boots, apron and gloves. Use
local ventilation to control vapour at source. Use full face
supplied air respirator as required. Remove contaminated
clothing and launder before re-use. Workers should change
clothing before leaving work site.

Storage: Store and handle in enclosed system. Store away from
excessive temperatures and direct sunlight. Purge opened
containers with nitrogen prior to resealing. Earth all
equipment, and surround with spillage tray or similar
device.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: Not given, 6th amendment notification.

copper and brass. Incompatible with most rubber and
elastomeric compounds. Protect from air to avoid
degradation.

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Plants using Flexsorb-SE will normally have toe walls in
critical areas to contain leaks and spills. Some plants
would have a toe wall round the entire Flexsorb-SE unit thus
permitting recovery and re-use for a large spill or disposal
in the event of a small spill (There should be little scope
for loss in normal usage: the substance is used in a closed
loop absorbing acid gas from a vapour stream in one vessel
and releasing it by scrubbing in another).

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: For small spills, the substance is flushed to a sewer where
it would be biodegraded in the water treatment plant or in
the receiving water. For larger spills where recovery is
impractical, the substance is absorbed onto clay, sand or
earth for disposal by incineration or tipping on a secure
land-fill site.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Incinerate in an approved incinerator (after absorption in
an inert solid: see 6.1.2).
