Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
General information
Remove contaminated, soaked clothing immediately and dispose of safely. Adhere to personal protective measures when giving first aid. Clean body thoroughly (bath, shower). In any case show the physician
the Safety Data Sheet.
After inhalation
Ensure supply of fresh air. Remove affected person from danger area. Seek medical advice immediately.
After skin contact
Wash off immediately with soap and water. Seek medical advice immediately.
After eye contact
Separate eyelids, wash the eyes thoroughly with water (15 min.). Seek medical advice immediately.
After ingestion
Call in a physician immediately and show him the Safety Data Sheet. Rinse out mouth and give plenty of water to drink. Do not induce vomiting - aspiration hazard.
Adhere to personal protective measures when giving first aid
First aider: Pay attention to self-protection!
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Until now no symptoms known so far.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Hints for the physician / hazards
In the case of swallowing with subsequent vomiting, aspiration of the lungs can occur which can lead to chemical pneumonia or asphyxiation.
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media
Dry powder, foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical extinguisher, Water spray jet
Non suitable extinguishing media
Full water jet
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
In case of combustion evolution of dangerous gases possible. In the event of fire the following can be released: Carbon monoxide (CO); Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Advice for firefighters
Special protective equipment for fire-fighting
Do not inhale explosion and/or combustion gases. In case of combustion use a suitable breathing apparatus. Wear full protective suit.
Other information
Collect contaminated fire-fighting water separately, must not be discharged into the drains. Fire residues and contaminated fire-fighting water must be disposed of in accordance with the local regulations. Cool
endangered containers with water spray jet.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Keep away sources of ignition. Ensure adequate ventilation. Use breathing apparatus if exposed to vapours/dust/aerosol. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Use personal protective clothing. Refer
to protective measures listed in Sections "Handling and Storage" and "Exposure controls/personal protection"
Environmental precautions
Do not discharge into the drains/surface waters/groundwater. Do not discharge into the subsoil/soil. Retain and dispose of contaminated wash water. In case of gas escape or of entry into waterways, soil
or drains, inform the responsible authorities.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Pick up mechanically. Avoid raising dust. Clean contaminated floors and objects thoroughly, observing environmental regulations. Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with the regulations.
Reference to other sections
Refer to protective measures listed in Sections "Handling and Storage" and "Exposure controls/personal protection"
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Advice on safe handling
Avoid dust formation. Take precautionary measures against static discharge. If workplace limits are exceeded, a respiratory protection approved for this particular job must be worn. Keep container tightly
closed. Smoking, eating and drinking shall be prohibited in application area.
Advice on protection against fire and explosion
Keep away from sources of heat and ignition. No smoking. Take precautionary measures against static discharge.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
