Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Do not leave affected person unattended. Remove victim out of the danger area. Keep affected person warm, still and covered. Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical advice. In case of unconsciousness place person in the recovery position. Never give anything by mouth.

Following inhalation

If breathing is irregular or stopped, immediately seek medical assistance and start first aid actions. In case of respiratory tract irritation, consult a physician. Provide fresh air.

Following skin contact

Wash with plenty of soap and water.

Following eye contact

Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Irrigate copiously with clean, fresh water for at least 10 minutes, holding the eyelids apart.

Following ingestion

Rinse mouth with water (only if the person is conscious). Do NOT induce vomiting.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media : water spray, BC-powder, carbon dioxide (CO2)

Unsuitable extinguishing media : water jet

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture : None . In case of insufficient ventilation and/or in use, may form flammable/explosive vapour-air mixture.

Solvent vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Places which are not ventilated, e.g. unventilated below ground level areas such as trenches, conduits and shafts, are particularly prone to the presence of flammable substances or mixtures.

Advice for firefighters

In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Co-ordinate firefighting measures to the fire surroundings. Do not allow firefighting water to enter drains or water courses. Collect contaminated firefighting water separately. Fight fire with normal precautions from a reasonable distance.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures : For non-emergency personnel : Remove persons to safety.

For emergency responders : Wear breathing apparatus if exposed to vapours/dust/spray/gases.

Environmental precautions : Keep away from drains, surface and ground water. Retain contaminated washing water and dispose of it. If substance has entered a water course or sewer, inform the responsible authority.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up : Advice on how to contain a spill. Covering of drains.

Advice on how to clean up a spill : Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Collect spillage (sawdust, kieselgur (diatomite), sand, universal binder).

Appropriate containment techniques : Use of adsorbent materials.

Other information relating to spills and releases : Place in appropriate containers for disposal. Ventilate affected area.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Recommendations

• Measures to prevent fire as well as aerosol and dust generation

Use local and general ventilation. Avoidance of ignition sources. Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Take precautionary measures against static discharge. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Due to danger of explosion, prevent leakage of vapours into cellars, flues and ditches. Ground/bond container and receiving equipment. Use explosion-proof electrical/ventilating/lighting/equipment. Use only non-sparking tools.

• Warning

Places which are not ventilated, e.g. unventilated below ground level areas such as trenches, conduits and shafts, are particularly prone to the presence of flammable substances or mixtures. Vapours are heavier than air, spread along floors and form explosive mixtures with air. Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air.

Advice on general occupational hygiene

Wash hands after use. Do not eat, drink and smoke in work areas. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas. Never keep food or drink in the vicinity of chemicals. Never place chemicals in containers that are normally used for food or drink. Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Managing of associated risks

• Explosive atmospheres : Keep container tightly closed and in a well-ventilated place. Use local and general ventilation. Keep cool. Protect from sunlight.

• Flammability hazards : Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames

and other ignition sources. No smoking. Take precautionary measures against static discharge. Protect from sunlight.

Incompatible substances or mixtures : Observe hints for combined storage.

Consideration of other advice :

• Ventilation requirements : Use local and general ventilation. Ground/bond container and receiving equipment.

• Packaging compatibilities : Only packagings which are approved (e.g. acc. to ADR) may be used.

SpecialProvisions

Exposure controls / personal protection

Appropriate engineering controls : General ventilation.

Individual protection measures (personal protective equipment)

Eye/face protection

Wear eye protection.

Skin protection

• hand protection : Wear suitable gloves. Chemical protection gloves are suitable, which are tested according to EN 374. Check leak-tightness/impermeability prior to use. In the case of wanting to use the gloves again, clean them before taking off and air them well. For special purposes, it is recommended to check the resistance to chemicals of the protective gloves mentioned above together with the supplier of these gloves.

• other protection measures

Take recovery periods for skin regeneration. Preventive skin protection (barrier creams/ointments) is recommended. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.

Respiratory protection : In case of inadequate ventilation wear respiratory protection.

Environmental exposure controls : Use appropriate container to avoid environmental contamination. Keep away from drains, surface and ground water.
