Administrative data
First-aid measures
Following inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If symptoms persist, seek medical advice.
Following skin contact:
Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Seek medical advice if irritation persists.
Following eye contact:
Flush eyes with water as a precaution. Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. If irritation develops, get medical aid.
Following ingestion:
If swallowed, wash out mouth with water provided person is conscious. Call a physician.
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media:
Water spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, or appropriate foam.
Unsuitable extinguishing media:
Water jet.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:
Development of hazardous combustion gases or vapours possible in the event of fire.
Fire may cause evolution of: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen cyanide, and hydrogen chloride.
Advice for fire-fighters:
Stay in danger area only with self-contained breathing apparatus.
Prevent skin contact by keeping a safe distance or by wearing suitable protective clothing.
Prevent fire extinguishing water from contaminating surface water or the ground water system.
Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure
mode. Clothing for fire-fighters (including helmets, protective boots and gloves)
conforming to European standard EN 469 will provide a basic level of protection for
chemical incidents.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
Avoid substance contact. Avoid generation of dusts; do not inhale dusts. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Evacuate the danger area, observe emergency procedures, and consult an expert.
Wear protective equipment.
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 material for containment and cleaning up:
Wear respirator, chemical safety goggles, rubber boots, and heavy rubber gloves.
Sweep up, place in a bag and hold for waste disposal. Avoid raising dust.
Ventilate area and wash spill site after material pickup is complete.
Handling and storage
This substance is handled under Strictly Controlled Conditions in accordance with REACH regulation Article 17(3) for on-site isolated intermediates and, in case the substance is transported to other sites for further processing, the substance should be handled at these sites under the Strictly Controlled Conditions as specified in REACH regulation Article 18(4). Site documentation to support safe handling arrangements including the selection of engineering, administrative and personal protective equipment controls in accordance with risk-based management systems is available at each manufacturing site.
Written confirmation of application of Strictly Controlled Conditions has been received from every affected Distributor and Downstream Processor/User of the Registrant’s intermediate
Precautions for safe handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust generation and
accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes. Keep container tightly closed. Do not ingest or inhale.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
Store in cool place. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.
Keep away from strong oxidizing reagent, acids.
