If swallowed : If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show this container or label. Do NOT induce vomiting.

Symptoms : corrosive effects

Risks : Causes severe skin burns and eye damage. Causes serious eye damage.

Treatment : Treat symptomatically.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media : Water spray jet

Foam

Carbon dioxide (CO2)

Dry powder

Specific hazards during firefighting :

In case of fires, hazardous combustion gases are formed:

Carbon monoxide (CO)

Nitrogen oxides (NOx)

Ammonia

Special protective equipment for firefighters : Self-contained breathing apparatus

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions : Wear suitable protective equipment. Ensure adequate ventilation.

Environmental precautions : Do not allow to enter drains or waterways

Methods for cleaning up : Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust).

Handling and storage

Advice on safe handling : Handle and open container with care. Avoid formation of aerosol.

Advice on protection against fire and explosion : Observe the general rules of industrial fire protection

Hygiene measures : Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday. Use protective skin cream before handling the product. Take off immediately all contaminated clothing and wash it before reuse.

Requirements for storage areas and containers : Do not use steel containers. Do not use aluminium containers.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Personal protective equipment

Eye protection : Depending on the risk, wear sufficient eye protection (safety

glasses with side protection or goggles, and if necessary, face shield.)

Hand protection

      Break through time : 480 min

      Glove thickness : 0,7 mm

      Remarks : Long-term exposure Impervious butyl rubber gloves

      Break through time : 30 min

      Glove thickness : 0,4 mm

      Remarks : For short-term exposure (splash protection): Nitrile rubber gloves.

      Remarks : These types of protective gloves are offered by various manufacturers. Please note the manufacturers´ detailed statements, especially about the minimum thickness and the minimum breakthrough time.                     Consider also the particular working conditions under which the gloves are being used.

Skin and body protection : Depending on the degree of hazard, when handling corrosive substances, aprons, boots or full protective clothing made of suitable materials (e.g. rubberized or PVC-coated) must also be worn.

Wear suitable protective equipment.

Respiratory protection : Use respiratory protection in specific critical circumstances (in case of emergency):

      Full mask to standard DIN EN 136

      Filter A (organic gases and vapours) to standard DIN EN 141

      The use of filter apparatus presupposes that the environment atmosphere contains at least 17% oxygen by volume, and does not exceed the maximum gas concentration, usually 0.5% by volume.

      Relevant guidelines to be considered include EN 136/141/143/371/372 as well as other national regulations.

Protective measures : Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Avoid formation of aerosol.

Stability and reactivity

Hazardous reactions : Corrodes aluminium. Evolution of heat under influence of acids.

Disposal considerations

Product : In accordance with local authority regulations, take to special waste incineration plant

Contaminated packaging : Packaging that cannot be cleaned should be disposed of as product waste
