4. First Aid Measures

Ingestion

Call for a doctor immediately.

Inhalation

• Supply fresh air and to be sure call for a doctor.
• In case of unconsciousness place patient stably in side position for transportation.

Skin Contact

Immediately wash with water and soap and rinse thoroughly.

Other Information

Symptoms of poisoning may even occur after several hours; therefore medical observation for at least 48 hours after the accident.

5. Firefighting Measures

Suitable extinguishing equipment

Fire

CO₂, powder or water spray. Fight larger fires with water spray or alcohol resistant foam.

HAZCHEM

For safety reasons unsuitable extinguishing agents: Water.

Special protective equipment and precautions for fire fighters

6. Accidental Release Measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Wear protective equipment. Keep unprotected persons away.

Environmental precautions

• Inform respective authorities in case of seepage into water course or sewage system.
• Dilute with plenty of water.
• Do not allow to enter sewers/surface or ground water.

Methods and materials for containment and clean up

• Absorb with liquid-binding material (sand, diatomite, acid binders, universal binders, sawdust).
• Dispose contaminated material as waste according to item 13.
• Ensure adequate ventilation.
• Do no flush with water or aqueous cleansing agents.

7. Handling and Storage

Precautions for safe handling

• Ensure good ventilation/exhaustion at the workplace.
• Prevent formation or aerosols.
• Keep ignition sources away - Do not smoke.
• Protect from heat.
• Protect against electrostatic charges.

Conditions for safe storage

• Store in a cool location.
• Keep container tightly sealed.
• Store in cool, dry conditions in well sealed receptacles.
• Protect from heat and direct sunlight.

8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

Exposure Standards

Engineering controls

• Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and feed.
• Immediately remove all soiled and contaminated clothing.
• Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work.
• Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.

Personal protective equipment

Eye and face protection

Tightly sealed goggles.

Skin protection

Wear protective gloves. The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/the substance/the preparation. Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation. The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.

Body protection

Wear protective clothing.

Respiratory protection

In case of brief exposure or low pollution use respiratory filter device. In case of intensive or longer exposure use self-contained respiratory protective device.

Other adverse effects

• Water hazard class 1: slightly hazardous for water.
• Do not allow undiluted product or large quantities of it to reach ground water, water course or sewage system.
• Also poisonous for fish and plankton in water bodies.
• Very toxic for aquatic organisms.
• Rinse off of bigger amounts into drains or the aquatic environment may lead to decreased pH-values. A low pH-value harms aquatic organisms. In the dilution of the use-level the pH-value is considerably increased, so that after the use of the product the aqueous waste, emptied into drains, is only low water-dangerous.
