First-aid measures

Description of first aid measures:

Pay attention to self-protection.

Remove victims from hazardous area.

Immediately remove soiled or soaked clothing and remove it to a safe distance.

Keep victim warm, in a stabilized position and covered.

Do not leave victims unattended.

If the casualty is unconscious: Place the victim in the recovery position.

Inhalation:

Potential for exposure by inhalation if dusts or smoke are generated.

Move victims into fresh air.

With labored breathing: Provide with oxygen. Consult a doctor.

If the casualty is not breathing: Perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, notify emergency physician immediately.

Skin contact:

Wash off affected area immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.

If symptoms persist, consult a physician for treatment.

Eye contact:

With eye held open, thoroughly rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 10 minutes.

Consult an ophthalmologist immediately if the symptoms persist.

Ingestion:

Rinse out mouth.

Immediately give large quantities of water to drink.

Consult a physician immediately.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed:

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed:

The initial focus is only on the local action, possibly characterized by a progressive tissue irritation.

In the eye, irritating solids cause, depending on the intensity of exposure, irritation of the conjunctiva and, in exceptional cases, damage to the cornea.

There is a danger of blindness if corneas are damaged!

Superficial irritations and only infrequent damage with ulcerations develop on the skin.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media:

Suitable extinguishing media:

All extinguishing substances suitable.

Unsuitable extinguishing media:

Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

In the case of fire, the following hazardous smoke fumes may be produced: carbon dioxide nitric oxides.

Advice for firefighters:

Take precautionary measures against static discharges.

Use water spray to cool unopened containers.

Fire residues should be disposed of in accordance with the regulations.

Contaminated extinguishing water must be treated at a suitable disposal plant in accordance with waste management laws.

In case of fire, remove the endangered containers and bring to a safe place, if this can be done safely.

Keep out unprotected persons.

In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

Full protective suit.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Avoid dust formation.

Wear personal protective equipment.

Keep unauthorized persons away.

Environmental precautions:

Prevent substance from entering soil, natural bodies of water and sewer systems.

If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:

Pick up mechanically.

Collect in suitable containers.

Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with the regulations.

Pack and label wastes like the pure substance.

Do not detach label from the delivery containers prior to disposal.

To absorb spilled substance an approved industrial vacuum cleaner is recommended.

If necessary, the spilled substance should be moistened.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling:

Use permissible in closed systems only.

Handle and transfer product in closed systems only (gas displacement device).

Ensure that apparatus and pipelines are free from leaks.

Do not ventilate into the open.

Dedicated loading/unloading stations required.

Empty, clean and dry system / system components completely before maintenance and repair work is done.

Written approval necessary in case of non-routine jobs, e.g. maintenance activities.

Wear personal protective equipment.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:

Advice on protection against fire and explosion:

Take precautionary measures against static discharges.

Avoid dust formation.

Further information: VDI 2263 "Dust fires and dust explosions; dangers, evaluation, preventive measures."

Normal measures for preventive fire protection.

Storage:

Store in the original receptacle, keeping this tightly sealed, under cool and dry conditions.

Further information:

Protect from sunlight, warmth and heat.

In order to ensure due transportation, make certain that stacks are of the correct height, containers are securely fastened so as not to fall off, and labelled according to the regulations.

Advice on common storage:

No special precautions required.
