Symptoms of exposure can be reddening and soreness.

Product in Eyes Immediately flood eyes with plenty of low pressure water for at least 10 minutes, holding eye open. Remove contact lenses. Obtain medical assistance if redness develops or persists.

Product on Skin: Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Obtain medical help if redness or irritation develops.Take off contaminated clothing and wash it before reuse

Product Ingested: Wash out mouth with water. Obtain medical attention.

Product Inhaled: Remove from exposure, keep warm and at rest. Obtain medical attention if breathing difficulty occurs.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media The product is not flammable. Use fire-extinguishing media suitable for the surrounding fire.

Unsuitable extinguishing media Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.

Advice to fire-fighters:

Protective actions during firefighting Keep up-wind to avoid fumes. Control run-off water by

containing and keeping it out of sewers and watercourses.

Special protective equipment for firefighters

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Keep all unnecessary people away.

Fire water run-off must not be allowed to contaminate ground or enter drains, sewers or water courses.

Provide bunding against fire water run-off.

Accidental release measures

- Personal precautions:

Always wear PPE (full overalls; goggles and a face shield to protect from spray if large volumes spilled; chemically resitant gloves and sleeves if no overalls available). Wear gloves (tested to EN374) if direct hand contact with the substance is likely; wash off skin contamination immediately. Avoid splashes and spills.       Avoidance of contact with contaminated tools and objects. Clean up contamination/spills as soon as they occur. Regular cleaning of equipment and work area.

Ensure suitable management/supervision is in place to check that the RMMs in place are being used correctly and OCs followed.

Train staff on good practice to prevent / minimise exposures and to report any skin problems that may develop.

Adopt good standards of personal skin hygiene. Where activities may lead to aerosol release e.g. spraying, then additional skin protection measures such as impervious suits and face shields may be required. Keep unnecessary people at distance.

- Environmental precautions:

Cover all drains and sewers. Avoid spreading spilled material. Avoid any release to waterways.

- Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Absorb in vermiculite, sand, diatomaceous earth or other inert

absorbent material. Place into clearly labelled container for recovery or disposal (see section 13). Rinse site with copious

amounts of water, which should not be allowed into drains, sewers or water courses

Handling and storage

Store in tightly-closed, original container in a dry, cool and well ventilated place.

Avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark or flame). Avoid splashes and spills.
