Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
After inhalation : supply fresh air. If required, provide artificial respiration. Consult doctor if symptoms persist.
After skin contact : remove contaminated clothes, wash affected area with soap and water and rinse thoroughly. If skin irritation continues, consult a doctor.
After eye contact : rinse opened eye for several minutes under running water. Then consult a doctor.
After swallowing : do not induce vomiting; call for medical help immediately.
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media: dry sand, extinguishing powder.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: water, foam, CO2, water spray, water jet.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture :
Reacts violently with water and foam.
When extinguishing wet, pay attention to the corrosive effect and danger of slipping.
Fire residues must be disposed of properly.
Instructions for fire fighting :
Extinguishing water must not be allowed to enter drains, underground or watercourses. Provide adequate water retention facilities for extinguishing water. Contaminated extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
Fire residues must be disposed of in accordance with regulations.
Accidental release measures
Cover with dry sand Take up mechanically.
Environmental precautions : keep contaminated washing water and dispose of appropriately.
Do not allow to penetrate the ground/soil.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up : send for recovery or disposal in suitable receptacles
Handling and storage
Protective measures for safe handling :
Avoid product residues on / at the containers.
Under inert gas (argon, nitrogen).
In case of leakage: wear personal protective equipment. Provide good ventilation or extraction.
Take precautions against electrostatic charges.
Keep away from sources of ignition - Do not smoke.
Use spark-proof tools.
Avoid formation of dust.
If dusts are generated, potentially explosive dust/air mixtures are possible.
Keep tightly closed, cool and dry in the original container.
Protect from heating.
Avoid moisture and water.
Storage under inert gas (nitrogen) is recommended.
