First-aid measures
General information
First aider: Pay attention to self-protection! Avoid contact with the product. When in doubt or if symptoms are observed, get medical advice.
After inhalation:
Remove to fresh air and keep warm and at rest. Consult a physician.
After contact with skin:
Wash and rinse with plenty of water. Take off contaminated clothing. If irritation persists or rush occurs call a physician.
After contact with eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing, Consult an ophthalmologist.
After ingestion:
Rinse the mouth with plenty of water (only if the person is conscious) and obtain immediate medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to aunconscious person or a person with cramps. Observe risk of aspiration if vomiting occurs.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Treat symptomatically.

Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media:
Water spray, alcohol resistant foam, Carbon dioxide (CO2), dry extinguishing powder.
Unsuitable extinguishing media:
High power water jet
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:
On intense heating explosive mixture with air possible (dusts).
Emission of irritating and toxic fumes and gases.
In case of fire may be liberated: Carbon oxides
Advice for firefighters:
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical protective clothing.
Additional information:
Use water spray jet to protect personnel and to cool endangered containers. Suppress gases/vapours/mists with water spray jet. Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. Do not allow entering drains or surface water.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Appropriate engineering controls:
Provide adequate ventilation.
Protective and hygiene measures:
When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Wash hands before breaks and after work. Remove contaminated, saturated clothing immediately.
Eye/face protection:
Wear tightly fitting safety goggles. (DIN EN 166)
Hand protection:
Tested protective gloves must be worn (DIN EN 374). The quality of the protective gloves resistant to chemicals must be chosen as a function ofthe specific working place concentration and quantity of hazardous substances. Recommended glove material: Nitrile rubber. Minimal thickness of the glove material for penetration time 8 h: 0,11 mm
Skin protection:
Wear suitable chemical resistant protective clothing. Choose suitable personal protection equipment dependent on substance concentration and amount specific for workplace. Chemical resistance should be clarified with the supplier.
Respiratory protection:
The selection of appropriate respiratory protection systems should be determined depending on the exposure conditions. At exposure to dust or mist respiratory equipment with particle filter P3 (EN 143) recommended. Maintenance, testing and change of the filter cartridges must be performed following the recommendations of the supplier.
Environmental exposure controls

Disposal considerations
Advice on disposal
Chemicals and packages as waste must be disposed of in accordance with Directive 2008/98/EC and the respective national and local regulations. Consult your local or regional authorities.
Do not allow to enter into surface water or drains. Dispose of waste according to applicable legislation.
Contaminated packaging
Non-contaminated packages may be recycled. Handle contaminated packages in the same way as the substance itself. Do not contaminate ground- or surface waters via drainage, by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.
