First-aid measures
Description of first aid measures
General advice
Consult a physician.
If inhaled
If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Consult a physician.
In case of skin contact
Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Swab with polyethylene glycol 400. Take victim immediately to hospital. Consult a physician.
In case of eye contact
Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician.
If swallowed
Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth with
water. In exceptional cases only, if medical care is not available within one hour, induce vomiting (only in
persons who are wide awake and fully conscious), administer activated charcoal (20 - 40 g in a
10% slurry) and consult a doctor as quickly as possible. Caution if victim vomits. Pulmonary
failure possible after aspiration of vomit.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Irritation and corrosion, irritant effects, Cough, Shortness of breath, respiratory arrest,
Unconsciousness, inebriation, Nausea, drowziness, ataxia (impaired locomotor coordination),
Discomfort

Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media
Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical, Carbon dioxide (CO₂),
Unsuitable extinguishing media
For this substance/mixture no limitations of extinguishing agents are given.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Combustible material, Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors.
Forms explosive mixtures with air at elevated temperatures.
Development of hazardous combustion gases or vapours possible in the event of fire.
Fire may cause evolution of:
Hydrogen chloride gas, Phosgene,Carbon oxides,
Advice for firefighters
Wear self contained breathing apparatus for fire fighting if necessary. Prevent skin contact by
keeping a safe distance or by wearing suitable protective clothing.
Further information
Use water spray to cool unopened containers. Prevent fire extinguishing water from contaminating surface water or the ground water system.
Suppress (knock down) gases/vapours/mists with a water spray jet. Remove container from
danger zone and cool with water.

Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Wear respiratory protection. Avoid breathing vapours, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Remove
all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Beware of vapours accumulating to form
explosive concentrations. Vapours can accumulate in low areas.
Environmental precautions
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains. Discharge into the
environment must be avoided.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Cover drains. Collect, bind, and pump off spills.
Take up carefully with liquid-absorbent material . Dispose of properly. Clean
up affected area.

Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation of vapour or mist.
Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic
charge.
Advice on protection against fire and explosion
Keep locked up or in an area accessible only to qualified or authorised persons.
Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Take precautionary
measures against static discharge.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Store in cool place. 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. Keep locked up or in an area accessible only to qualified or authorised persons.
Recommended storage temperature: 2 - 8 °C

Exposure controls / personal protection
Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering controls
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling
the product.
Personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection
Face shield and safety glasses Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under
appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).
Hygiene measures
Immediately change contaminated clothing. Apply preventive skin protection. Wash hands and
face after working with substance. Work under hood. Do not inhale substance.
Skin protection
Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique
(without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of
contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices.
Wash and dry hands.
The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and
the standard EN 374 derived from it.
full contact:
Glove material: butyl-rubber
Glove thickness: 0,7 mm
Break through time: > 480 min
splash contact:
Glove material: Viton (R)
Glove thickness: 0,70 mm
Break through time: > 30 min
test method: EN374
If used in solution, or mixed with other substances, and under conditions which differ from EN 374,
contact the supplier of the CE approved gloves. This recommendation is advisory only and must
be evaluated by an industrial hygienist and safety officer familiar with the specific situation of
anticipated use by our customers. It should not be construed as offering an approval for any
specific use scenario.
Body Protection
Complete suit protecting against chemicals, Flame retardant antistatic protective clothing, The type
of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the
dangerous substance at the specific workplace.
Respiratory protection
Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face respirator
with multi-purpose combination (US) or type ABEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a backup
to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air
respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government
standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
Control of environmental exposure
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains. Discharge into
the environment must be avoided.
