Sodium diisopropylnaphthalenesulphonate

Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

- General advice:

Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

- Following inhalation:

Call a physician or poison control center immediately. If breathing stops, provide artificial respiration. Move to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.

- Following skin contact:

Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Destroy or thoroughly clean contaminated shoes.

- Following eye contact:

Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If easy to do, remove contact lenses. Call a physician or poison control center immediately.

- Following ingestion:

Rinse mouth. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Never give liquid to an unconscious person. Do not induce vomiting without advice from poison control center.

Fire-fighting measures

- Suitable extinguishing media:

Extinguish with foam, carbon dioxide, dry powder or water fog.

- Unsuitable extinguishing media:

Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.

- Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed

- Advice for fire fighter: No data available.

Accidental release measures

- Personal precautions:

Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Keep unauthorized personnel away.

      For non-emergency personnel: Use personal protective equipment.

      For emergency responders: Warn everybody of potential hazards and evacuate if necessary. Use personal protective equipment.

Environmental Precautions: Do not contaminate water sources or sewer. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Avoid release to the environment.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Absorb spill with vermiculite or other inert material, then place in a container for chemical waste. Dike far ahead of larger spill for later recovery and disposal.

Handling and storage

- Precautions for safe handling:

Do not taste or swallow. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Do not get in eyes. Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing.

- Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Store locked up.

- Specific end use(s): Reserved for industrial and professional use.

Exposure controls / personal protection

* Appropriate Engineering Controls: Provide adequate ventilation.

* Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment

- General information: Provide easy access to water supply and eye wash facilities. Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Follow training instructions when handling this material.

- Eye/face protection: Use approved safety goggles or face shield. EN166

- Skin protection

      Hand Protection: Chemical resistant gloves. Protective gloves complying with EN 374. Suitable gloves can be recommended by the glove supplier.

      Other: Chemical resistant clothing. EN13688

- Respiratory Protection: In case of inadequate ventilation use suitable respirator (EN14387). Seek advice from local supervisor.

- Hygiene measures: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using the product. Wash hands after handling. Do not get in eyes. Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Do not get this material in contact with skin. Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling the product.

- Environmental Controls: Do not empty into drains.
