Administrative data
First-aid measures
General advice : Move out of dangerous area. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. Do not leave the victim unattended.
If inhaled : If unconscious place in recovery position and seek medical advice. If symptoms persist, call a physician.
In case of skin contact : If on skin, rinse well with water.
In case of eye contact : Flush eyes with water as a precaution. Remove contact lenses. Protect unharmed eye. Keep eye wide open while rinsing. If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.
If swallowed : Induce vomiting immediately and call a physician. Keep respiratory tract clear. Do not give milk or alcoholic beverages. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If symptoms persist, call a physician.
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media :
Dry chemical
Alcohol-resistant foam
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Water spray
Unsuitable extinguishing media :
High volume water jet
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: Wear self contained breathing apparatus for fire fighting if necessary.
Further information : 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.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions : Use personal protective equipment.
Environmental precautions : Prevent product from entering drains. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.
Methods for cleaning up : Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust). Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.
Handling and storage
Advice on safe handling : Do not breathe vapours/dust. Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in the application area. Dispose of rinse water in accordance with local and national regulations.
Advice on protection against fire and explosion: Normal measures for preventive fire protection.
Requirements for storage areas and containers: Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Electrical installations / working materials must comply with the technological safety standards.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Personal protective equipment
Hand protection : The suitability for a specific workplace should be discussed with the producers of the protective gloves.
Eye protection : Eye wash bottle with pure water. Tightly fitting safety goggles
Skin and body protection : impervious clothing. Choose body protection according to the amount and concentration of the dangerous substance at the work place.
Hygiene measures : When using do not eat or drink. When using do not smoke.
Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.
Environmental exposure controls
General advice : Prevent product from entering drains.
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.
Stability and reactivity
Reactivity: None
Stability: The product is chemically stable. No decomposition if stored and applied as directed.
Possibility of hazardous reactions: Under normal conditions of storage and use, hazardous reactions will not occur.
Conditions to avoid: Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking. Store away from direct sunlight.
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing agents and strong acids.
Hazardous decomposition products: Under normal conditions of storage and use, hazardous decomposition products decomposition products should not be produced.
Disposal considerations
Waste treatment methods
Product : The product should not be allowed to enter drains, water courses or the soil. Do not contaminate ponds, waterways or ditches with
chemical or used container. Send to a licensed waste management company.
Contaminated packaging : Empty remaining contents. Dispose of unused product. Do not re-use containers. Dispose in accordance with local regulations.
