Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

- General advice:

Remove contaminated clothing immediately and dispose of safely. Move out of dangerous area.

Place and transport victim in stable position (lying sideways).

- After inhalation:

Move to fresh air. Keep patient warm and at rest. Call a physician or poison control center

- After skin contact:

Wash off thoroughly with plenty of water and soap, if available with polyethyleneglycol 400,

subsequently rinse with water.

- After eye contact:

Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Remove

contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Get medical

attention if irritation develops and persists.

Do NOT induce vomiting. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Rinse mouth.

Fire-fighting measures

- Suitable extinguishing agents:

water spray,

carbon dioxide (CO2),

foam,

sand

- Special hazards caused by the material, its products of combustion or resulting gases:

In the event of fire the following can be released: carbon monoxide (CO)

- Protective equipment:  

In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes.

Use breathing apparatus.

- Additional information:  

Contain the spread of the fire-fighting media.

Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.

Accidental release measures

- Person-related safety precautions:

Avoid contact with spilled product or contaminated surfaces.

Wear personal protective equipment.

Unprotected persons must be kept away.

Keep away sources of ignition.

- Measures for environmental protection:  

Do not discharge into the drains/surface water/groundwater.

- Measures for cleaning/collecting:  

Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust).

Clean contaminated floors and objects thoroughly, observing environmental regulations.

Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.

Handling and storage

Manufacture and use takes place under strictly controlled conditions. The substance

is rigorously contained (production, use), appropriate risk management measures are

applied and a management system is in place. An authorisation scheme covers the

process and a procedure ensures that only trained and authorised persons handle  

the substance. Process procedures for containment during cleaning and  

maintenance have been accounted for in plant and engineering design as

appropriate for the site. Procedures to ensure containment have been applied for all

stages of production and processing. Occupational procedures have been assessed

and are documented.

Advice on safe handling:

Use only in area provided with appropriate exhaust ventilation.

Storage

Requirements for storage areas and containers: Store in original container. Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place.

Store in a place accessible by authorized persons only.

Advice on common storage

Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs.

- Hygene measures:

Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.

Keep working clothes separately.

Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.

Wash hands immediately after work, if necessary take a shower.

Remove soiled and/or soaked clothing immediately and clean thoroughly before using again.

Garments that cannot be cleaned must be destroyed (burnt).

Exposure controls / personal protection

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.

- Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection: No personal respiratory protective equipment normally required.

Respiratory protection should only be used to control residual risk of short duration activities, when all reasonably practicable steps have

been taken to reduce exposure at source e.g. containment and/or local extract ventilation. Always follow respirator manufacturer's

instructions regarding wearing and maintenance.

Hand protection: Wear CE Marked (or equivalent) nitrile rubber gloves (minimum thickness 0,40 mm). Wash when contaminated. Dispose of when

contaminated inside, when perforated or when contamination outside cannot be removed. Wash hands always before eating,

drinking, smoking or using the toilet.

Eye protection: Wear goggles conforming to EN166 (Field of Use 5 or equivalent).

Skin and body protection: Wear standard coverall and type 6 suit. Wear two layers of clothing wherever possible. Polyester/cotton or

cotton overalls should be worn under chemical protection suit and should be professionally laundered frequently.

If chemical protection suit is splashed, sprayed or significantly contaminated, decontaminate as far as possible, then carefully

remove and dispose of as advised by manufacturer.
