First-aid measures
Description of first aid measures
Inhalation Move affected person to fresh air and keep warm and at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Call a POISON CENTRE/doctor if you feel unwell.
Ingestion Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Call a POISON CENTRE/doctor if you feel unwell.
Skin contact Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Call a POISON CENTRE/doctor if you feel unwell. If skin irritation or rash occurs: Get medical advice/ attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Eye contact Rinse immediately with plenty of water. Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/ attention.
Protection of first aiders First aid personnel should wear appropriate protective equipment during any rescue.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Notes for the doctor
No specific recommendations. Treat symptomatically
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media Larger fires: Extinguish with alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide, dry powder or water fog. Small fires: Extinguish with alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide or dry powder. Dry sand.
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
Specific hazards
Thermal decomposition or combustion products may include the following substances: Irritating gases or vapours. Corrosive gases or vapours. Toxic gases or vapours. Containers can burst violently or explode when heated, due to excessive pressure build-up. Do not allow water to enter the container.
Hazardous combustion products
Irritating gases or vapours. Corrosive gases or vapours. Toxic gases or vapours.
Advice for firefighters
Protective actions during firefighting
Move containers from fire area if it can be done without risk. Cool containers exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out. Fight fire from safe distance or protected location. For massive fire in cargo area, use unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles, if possible. If not, withdraw and let fire burn out. Use fire-extinguishing media suitable for the surrounding fire. Do not allow water to enter the container.
Special protective equipment for firefighters
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear fire resistant or flame retardant clothing. Wear chemical protective suit. SECTION 5: Firefighting measures SECTION 4: First aid measures
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Personal precautions Evacuate area
Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel away from the spillage. Keep upwind. Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet. Avoid inhalation of vapours and contact with skin and eyes. Vapours may accumulate on the floor and in low-lying areas. Ventilate closed spaces before entering them.
Environmental precautions
Avoid the spillage or runoff entering drains, sewers or watercourses. Avoid release to the environment.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Methods for cleaning up
Earth container and transfer equipment to eliminate sparks from static electricity. Stop leak if safe to do so. Ground/bond container and receiving equipment. Small Spillages: Contain and absorb spillage with sand, earth or other non-combustible material. Vacuum or sweep up material and place in a disposal container. Use non-sparking tools. Use explosion-proof electrical equipment. Cover powdered spills with plastic sheet or tarpaulin to minimise spreading and protect from water. Do not close container tightly, due to the risk of excessive pressure build-up. Spillage into watercourses: Remove from water surface by skimming or with suitable absorbents. Do not use dispersants.
Precautionary measures to prevent the occurrence of secondary hazards
Eliminate all sources of ignition. Prevent leakage entering sewers, basements and work pits. Do not allow material to enter confined spaces, due to the risk of explosion. Do not allow water to enter the container
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Usage precautions Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet. Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Good general ventilation should be adequate to control worker exposure to airborne contaminants. Earth container and transfer equipment to eliminate sparks from static electricity. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Avoid swallowing.
Advice on general occupational hygiene
Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Wash at the end of each work shift and before eating, smoking and using the toilet.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Storage precautions
Store in tightly-closed, original container in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Storage tanks and other containers must be earthed. Keep at temperature not exceeding 5°C/41°F. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Store away from the following materials: Oxidising agents.
Suitable container materials: UN approved containers

Exposure controls / personal protection
Control parameters
Ingredient comments No exposure limits known for ingredient(s).
Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering controls
Provide adequate ventilation. Good general ventilation should be adequate to control worker exposure to airborne contaminants. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
Eye/face protection Eyewear
complying with an approved standard should be worn if a risk assessment indicates eye contact is possible. Personal protective equipment for eye and face protection should comply with European Standard EN166. The following protection should be worn: Chemical splash goggles.
Hand protection
Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn if a risk assessment indicates skin contact is possible. The most suitable glove should be chosen in consultation with the glovesupplier/manufacturer who can provide information about the breakthrough time of the glove material. To protect hands from chemicals, gloves should comply with European Standard EN374. Considering the data specified by the glove manufacturer, check during use that the gloves are retaining their protective properties and change them as soon as any deterioration is detected. Frequent changes are recommended.
Other skin and body protection
Appropriate footwear and additional protective clothing complying with an approved standard should be worn if a risk assessment indicates skin contamination is possible.
Hygiene measures
Provide eyewash station and safety shower. Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Clean equipment and the work area every day. Good personal hygiene procedures should be implemented. Wash at the end of each work shift and before eating, smoking and using the toilet. When using do not eat, drink or smoke.
Respiratory protection
Respiratory protection complying with an approved standard should be worn if a risk assessment indicates inhalation of contaminants is possible. Provide adequate ventilation. Large Spillages: If ventilation is inadequate, suitable respiratory protection must be worn.
