First-aid measures
Description of first aid measures
After inhalation: fresh air.
After skin contact: wash off with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing. Get medical attention.
After eye contact: rinse out with plenty of water.
After swallowing: immediately make victim drink water (two glasses at most). Consult a physician.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Irritant effects
The following applies to oxalates in general: nausea and vomiting after swallowing. Mucosal irritations, coughing, and dyspnoea after inhalation. Systemic effect: drop in the blood calcium level, toxic effect on kidneys, cardiovascular disorders.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
No information available.
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media
Use extinguishing media that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.
Unsuitable extinguishing media
For this substance/mixture no limitations of extinguishing agents are given.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Not combustible.
Ambient fire may liberate hazardous vapours.
Advice for fire fighters
Special protective equipment for firefighters
Stay in danger area only with self-contained breathing apparatus. Prevent skin contact by keeping a safe distance or by wearing suitable protective clothing.
Further information
Prevent fire extinguishing water from contaminating surface water or the ground water system.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Advice for non-emergency personnel: Avoid substance contact. Avoid inhalation of dusts. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate the danger area, observe emergency procedures, consult an expert.
Advice for emergency responders: Protective equipment, see section “Exposure controls/personal protection”
Environmental precautions
Do not empty into drains.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Cover drains. Collect, bind and pump off spills.
Observe possible material restrictions (see “Handling and Storage” and “Stability and Reactivity”).
Take up dry. Dispose of properly. Clean up affected area. Avoid generation of dusts.
Reference to other sections
Indications about waste treatment see section “Disposal considerations”.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Control Parameters
Exposure Controls
Engineering Measures
Technical measures and appropriate working operations should be given priority over the use of personal protective equipment.
See “Handling and Storage, Precautions for Safe Handling”.
Individual protection measures
Protective clothing needs to be selected specifically for the workplace, depending on concentrations and quantities of the hazardous substances handled. The chemical resistance of the protective equipment should be enquired at the respective supplier.
Eye/face protection
Safety glasses
Hand protection
Full contact
Glove material: nitrile rubber
Glove thickness: 0.11 mm
Break through time: > 480 min
Splash contact
Glove material: nitrile rubber
Glove thickness: 0.11 mm
Break through time: > 480 min
The protective gloves to be used must comply with the specifications of EC Directive 89/686/EEC and the related standard EN374, for example KCL 741 Dermatril® L (full contact), KCL 741 Dermatril® L (splash contact).
The breakthrough times stated above were determined by KCL in laboratory tests acc. to EN374 with samples of the recommended glove types.
This recommendation applies only to the product stated in the safety data sheet, supplied by us and for the designated use. When dissolving in or mixing with other substances and under conditions deviating from those stated in EN374 please contact the supplier of CE-approved gloves (e.g. KCL GmbH, D-36124 Eichenzell, Internet: www.kcl.de).
Other protective equipment
Protective clothing
Respiratory protection
Required when dusts are generated.
Recommended Filter type: Filter P 1 (acc. to DIN 3181) for solid particles of inert substances.
The entrepeneur has to ensure that maintenance, cleaning and testing of respiratory protective devices are carried out according to the instructions of the producer. These measures have to be properly documented.
Environmental exposure controls
Do not empty into drains.
Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
See section “Possibility of hazardous reactions”
Chemical stability
Releases water of crystallisation when heated.
Possibility of hazardous reactions
Risk of explosion with: strong oxidizing agents
Conditions to avoid
Strong heating (decomposition)
Incompatible materials
No information available
Hazardous decomposition products
No information available
Disposal considerations
