Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
After skin contact: Flush skin with plenty of water. Take off contaminated clothing.
After eye contact: Flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids.
In case of ingestion: Drink plenty of water. Get medical aid.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed: Treat symptomatically.
Fire-fighting measures
Unsuitable extinguishing media: No data available.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture: Combustible. Vapours are heavier than air. If heated, the substance may form explosive mixtures with air. In case of fire, the formation of combustion gases or hazardous vapours is possible.
Advice for firefighters: Do not stay in dangerous areas without self- contained breathing apparatus and adequate protective clothing.
Additional references: Do not allow extinguishing water to enter surface water or groundwater.
Accidental release measures
Environmental precautions: Do not allow the product to enter drains or waterways.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Take up with absorbing materials into containers. Dispose of the residues according to current regulation. Rinse the contaminated area avoiding the formation of dust.
Handling and storage
Handling:
Combustible.
Do not inhal gases/dust/vapours/aerosol.
Avoid any contact with eyes, skin or clothes.
Storge:
Keep container tightly closed, in a well ventilated place.
Store at temperatures between +15 ºC and +25 ºC.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Effectiveness: The substance should be rigorously contained by technical means during its whole lifecycle and procedural and control technologies should be in place in order to minimize emissions and any resulting exposure as described under Article 18(4).
Personal protective equipment (PPE) should be used in cases of accidents and where waste is generated. The PPE may be also used as a good practice.
Respiratory protection: Required when dust is generated.
Hand protection: Wear protective gloves (nitrile rubber gloves, 0.11 mm, >480 min). EN374
Eye protection: Wear safety glasses and chemical goggles
Skin protection: Wear suitable protective clothing. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
Stability and reactivity
Chemical stability: Stable under normal conditions.
Conditons to avoid: Strong heating. Should be considered critical 15 °C below the flash point.
Hazardous decomposition products: In case of fire combustion gases or hazardous vapors could be formed.
Disposal considerations
Dispose of this material and its container to hazardous or special waste collection point.
Do not empty into drains or the environment.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
