Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
General advice :
Immediate medical attention is required.
Move out of dangerous area.
Show the material safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
Inhalation :
If breathed in, move person into fresh air.
Call a physician or poison control center immediately.
Remove to fresh air.
Keep patient warm and at rest.
If unconscious place in recovery position and seek medical advice.
Keep respiratory tract clear.
Skin contact :
Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately.
Rinse immediately with plenty of water.
Immediate medical treatment is necessary as untreated wounds from corrosion of the skin heal slowly and with difficulty.
If skin irritation persists, call a physician.
Eye contact :
Rinse with plenty of water.
Get medical attention immediately. Continue to rinse during transport of patient.
Remove contact lenses.
Protect unharmed eye.
Keep eye wide open while rinsing.
Small amounts splashed into eyes can cause irreversible tissue damage and blindness.
Ingestion :
Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Take victim immediately to hospital.
Do not induce vomiting! May cause chemical burns in mouth and throat.
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media :
Alcohol-resistant foam
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Dry chemical
Specific hazards during fire fighting / Specific hazards arising from the chemical :
Water spray may be ineffective unless used by experienced firefighters.
Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.
Combustion products :
Carbon oxides
Nitrogen oxides (NOx)
Halogenated compounds
Hydrogen chloride
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters :
In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Further information :
Use water spray to cool unopened containers.
Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This must not be discharged into drains.
Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
For safety reasons in case of fire, cans should be stored separately in closed containments.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions :
Use personal protective equipment.
Wear respiratory protection.
Ensure adequate ventilation.
Remove all sources of ignition.
Beware of vapors accumulating to form explosive concentrations. Vapors can accumulate in low areas.
Environmental precautions :
Prevent product from entering drains.
If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.
Methods for cleaning up / Methods for containment :
Contain spillage, and then collect with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according to local / national regulations.
Handling and storage
Handling
Advice on safe handling:
For personal protection see section 8 of the safety data sheet and below under "Exposure Controls / Personal Protection".
Avoid formation of aerosol.
Do not breathe vapors or spray mist.
Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in the application area.
Provide sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms.
Container may be opened only under exhaust ventilation hood.
Open drum carefully as content may be under pressure.
Dispose of rinse water in accordance with local and national regulations.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.
Advice on protection against fire and explosion :
Avoid formation of aerosol.
Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.
No sparking tools should be used.
Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge.
Storage
Requirements for storage areas and containers :
Prevent unauthorized access.
No smoking.
Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.
Electrical installations / working materials must comply with the technological safety standards.
Other data :
No decomposition if stored and applied as directed.
