First-aid measures

Description of first aid measures
Pay attention to self-protection.
Remove victims from hazardous area. Immediately remove soiled or soaked clothing and remove it to a safe distance. Keep victim warm, in a stabilized position and covered.
Do not leave victims unattended.
If the casualty is unconscious: Place the victim in the recovery position.

Inhalation
Potential for exposure by inhalation if aerosols or mists are generated.
After inhalation move subject to fresh air.
With labored breathing: Provide with oxygen. Consult a doctor.
If the casualty is not breathing: Perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, notify emergency physician immediately.

Skin contact
Wash off affected area immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
If symptoms persist, consult a physician for treatment.

Eye contact
With eye held open, thoroughly rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 10 minutes.
Inform emergency physician immediately. (key term: caustic eye burn)

Ingestion
Rinse mouth.
Immediately give large quantities of water to drink.
Inform emergency physician immediately.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Symptoms
Causes burns.
Hazards
Strongly irritating to corrosive.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
The initial focus is only on the local action, characterized by quickly progressing deep tissue damage.
Coughing is a symptom of a respiratory tract irritation after inhalation of aerosols or mists from caustic liquids.
In the eye, caustic liquids cause, depending on the intensity of exposure, severe irritation, destruction, and ablation of the epithelium of the conjunctiva and cornea, corneal clouding, edema and ulcerations.
Danger! Possible loss of eyesight!
Superficial irritations and damage up to ulcerations and scarring develop on the skin.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media: Water spray, foam, CO2, dry powder.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: high volume water jet

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
In case of fire cool endangered containers with water.
Hazardous fumes in fires, specific to the product:
Carbon monoxide

Advice for firefighters
Water for fire fighting must not be introduced in the sewer system, subsoil, or surface waters. Assure that there are sufficient fire water retaining facilities Contaminated fire fighting water must be disposed of in conformity with the regulations of the local authorities.
Fire residues should be disposed of in accordance with the regulations.
In case of fire use self-contained breathing apparatus if necessary.
Wear suitable protective clothing.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.
Ensure adequate ventilation.

Environmental precautions
Observe regulations on prevention of water pollution (check, dam up, cover up).
Do not allow entrance in sewage water, soil, stretches of water, drainage systems, surface water.
If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Take up mechanically or with an absorbent material.
Fill into marked, sealable containers.
To be disposed of in compliance with existing regulations.

Suitable binder: universal absorbent, diatomaceous earth

Exposure controls / personal protection

Exposure controls

Engineering measures
Refill and handle product only in closed system.
Leak detection recommended
Wastewater can be added to a biological wastewater treatment plant.
Dispose of waste gases in a suitable incineration plant.
Minimization of emissions by means of suitable technical measures such as flanges and valves with low leakage rates, recirculation of vapours.
All precautionary measures indicated have to be observed.

Exposure controls
The substance must be handled under strictly controlled conditions in accordance with Article 17/18 of the REACH regulation.

Personal protective equipment
