Administrative data
First-aid measures
Symptoms and effects.
Gas/mists are irritating to the respiratory system. May cause delayed pulmonary oedema.
The product is corrosive to eyes,skin and upper respiratory tract.
General
IF exposed or if you feel unwell: call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
Inhalation
Remove casualty to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.
If symptoms persist or breathing gets difficult, consult a physician.
Skin
Remove/Take off immediately all contaminated clothing including shoes. Rinse skin with water or shower. In case of reddened skin or burns seek medical advice.

Advice to physician
Symptomatic treatment is advised.
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Not applicable . Product itself is not flammable.
Unsuitable extinguishing media
Not applicable.
Hazardous decomposition / combustion products
Hydrogen chloride (gas).
Protective equipment
Wear self-contained breathing appartatus and acid-proof protective suits.
Fire and explosion hazard
Product itself is not flammable or explosive. The product reacts with metals with evolution of highly flammable hydrogen.
Accidental release measures
Evacuate personnel to safe areas (keep upwind).
Call the emergency brigade.
Use personal protective equipment (see exposure controls/ personal protection)
Surpress gas/mists with water spray jet.
Personal precautions
Wear suited personal protective equipment (see Expsoure controls/ personal protection).
Environmental precautions
Avoid release to the environment.
Collect leaking product in suited acid-proof containers. Stop the leakage by shutting valves, if this can be done safely.
Do not allow to enter into drain or surface waters. Retain leaking product with earth, diatomeous earth (kieselguhr) or universal absorbant. Collect contaminated material in acid-proof containers. Dispose of contaminated material and its container as hazardous waste according to local regulations.
In case of entry into waterways, drains or soil inform the responsible authorities
Methods for cleaning up
Neutralise small spillages with lime or soda ash. Rinse remnant with plenty of water into drains.
Clean contimated tools with plenty of water.
Handling and storage
Handling
The usual precautions for handling of chemicals should be observed. Avoid any direct contact with the product.
Fire and explosion prevention
None. Substance is not flammable.
Storage requirements
Store only in double-walled leakage monitored tanks, or in tanks/containers in a bunded area. Provide impermeable flooring and corrosion resistant equipment.
Keep containers tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Provide sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms.
Store in steel tanks lined with hard rubber or other resitant coating or inliner, or in plastic containers made of PE, PP, chloro or fluoro polymers, or in glass bottles.
To be avoided: unprotected metals, glass-fibre reinforced plastic (GRP).
Do not store together with incompatible materials (see Stability and reactivity)
Safe handling advice:
See exposure scenarios for expsoure controls.
Use product wherever possible in closed system.
Install eyewash station and emergency showers nearby to workstations.
