First-aid measures

Inhalation: Move exposed person to fresh air. Keep person warm and at rest. If
not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs,
provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel. It may
be dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. Get medical attention if adverse health effects persist
or are severe. If unconscious, place in recovery position and get
medical attention immediately. Maintain an open airway. Loosen
tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.
Ingestion: Wash out mouth with water. Move exposed person to fresh air.
Keep person warm and at rest. If material has been swallowed and
the exposed person is conscious, give small quantities of water to
drink. Stop if the exposed person feels sick as vomiting may be
dangerous. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by
medical personnel. If vomiting occurs, the head should be kept low
so that vomit does not enter the lungs. Get medical attention. Never
give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If unconscious,
place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately.
Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.
Skin contact: Flush contaminated skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated
clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Wash
clothing before reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse.
Eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the
upper and lower eyelids. Check for and remove any contact lenses.
Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation occurs.

The substance shall be rigorously contained by technical means
during its whole lifecycle including manufacture, purification,
cleaning and maintenance of equipment, sampling, analysis,
loading and unloading of equipment or vessels, waste disposal or
purification and storage. Procedural and control technologies shall
be used that minimise emission and any resulting exposure. In
cases of accident and where waste is generated, procedural and/
or control technologies shall be used to minimise emissions and
the resulting exposure during purification or cleaning and
maintenance procedures.
Organisational measures : Only properly trained and authorised personnel shall handle the
substance. In the case of cleaning and maintenance works,
special procedures such as purging and washing shall be applied
before the system is opened and entered.
Personal protection measures
Respiratory protection : If exposure cannot be ruled out, e.g. during product transfer,
sampling or maintenance, a well-fitting respiratory mask
conforming to standards or well-fitting respiratory device
conforming to standards must be worn. Respirator selection must
be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of
the product and the safe working limits of the selected respirator.
Recommended: Combination filter, e.g. DIN 3181 ABEK if product
forms vapours .
Hand protection: Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved
standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical
products if product contact cannot be excluded. After
contamination with product change the gloves immediately and
dispose of them according to relevant national and local regulations. Recommended: (< 1 hour) Butyl rubber - IIR, Viton®
Eye protection: Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be
used to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists, gases or dusts.
Recommended: Tightly fitting safety goggles.
Skin protection: Wear protective clothing. Personal protective equipment for the
body should be selected based on the task being performed and
the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before
handling this product.
Recommended: Wear protective clothing.
Hygiene measures: Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling
chemical products, before eating, smoking and using the lavatory
and at the end of the working period. Appropriate techniques
should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing. Wash
contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash
stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.
Environmental exposure controls
Technical measures: Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be
checked to ensure they comply with the requirements of
environmental protection legislation. In some cases, special waste
water treatment, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering
modifications to the process equipment will be necessary to reduce
emissions to acceptable levels.
