First-aid measures

4.1 Description of first aid measures
Eye contact: Immediately wash eyes with plenty of running water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Seek medical advice if irritation develops and persists.
Skin contact: Wash affected skin area with plenty of water and soap thoroughly while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Seek medical advice if irritation develops and persists.
Ingestion: Seek medical advice if the victim feels unwell. Wash out mouth with plenty of water and give 2-4 cupfuls of water or milk to drink. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical advice if symptoms appear.
Inhalation: Remove the victim from exposure into fresh air if adverse effects (e.g. dizziness, drowsiness or respiratory irritation) occur. Seek medical advice if cough or other symptoms appear.

4.2 Most important symptoms and effects
Acute effects None identified.
Delayed effects None identified.

4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
None identified. Treat symptomatically.

Fire-fighting measures

5.1 Extinguishing media
Suitable: Foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide.
Not suitable: Water.
5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
On burning, this material may generate toxic gases such as oxides of carbon.
5.3 Advice for firefighters
In the event of fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus and a chemical protective suit.

Accidental release measures

6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
For non-emergency personnel
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8) during cleaning. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Avoid inhalation. Eliminate all ignition sources.
6.2 Environmental precautions
Prevent the material from entering surface water or sanitary sewer system. Do not discharge directly to a water source. If accidental spillage or washings enter drains or watercourses contact local Environment Agency.
6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Pick up with absorbent material (sand, earth, kieselguhr, universal binder, vermiculite). Sweep up absorbed substance, place in a solid waste container for later disposal. Residual trace can be wiped away.
6.4 Reference to other section
Exposure controls: subsection 8. Waste treatment method: subsection 13.1

Handling and storage

7.1 Precautions for safe handling
Technical measures/ Precautions: Provide good ventilation (local exhaust) of the working area, safety showers and eye wash station near the workplace. Avoid release to the environment. Wear personal protective equipment (see section 8). Keep product away from heat, sparks, flame and other sources of ignition. Use earthed equipment.
General occupation hygiene: Do not eat, drink and smoke in work areas. Wash hands after use. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.
7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Technical measures/ Storage conditions: Keep in the original container. Keep container tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Keep product away from heat, sparks, flame and other sources of ignition and out of direct sunlight.
Incompatible products: None known.
Packaging material: Plastic; carbon steel; aluminium.
7.3 Specific end use(s)
None known

8.2 Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering controls: Prevent material from coming into contact with workers. Use closed transfer and storage systems.
Environmental exposure controls: Do not discharge directly into the environment.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment:
Respiratory protection: Due to the extreme low vapour pressure, it is not regarded as needed in any situation.
Hand protection: Chemical-resistant gloves.
Suitable material: Neoprene/nitrile rubber/rubber
Breakthrough time: not determined.
Eye protection: Safety goggles or full face shield where splashing is possible.
Skin and body protection: Protective suit.
Hygiene measures: Wash hands and face before breaks and immediately after handling the product. When using, do not eat, drink, or smoke.
Further information: When needed, decontaminate transfer devices and tanks with a vegetable oil, a vegetable oil methyl ester (267-015-4) or a solvent (eg: hydrocarbons, C10-C13, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics, < 2% aromatics – EC 918-481-9).

Remove and wash contaminated clothing and gloves, including the inside, before re-use.

Disposal considerations

13.1 Waste treatment methods
Waste from residues: In accordance with local and national regulations. Disposed incineration in a suitable incineration plant holding a permit delivered by the competent authorities. Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system. Do not contaminate surface water.
Container: Containers should be disposed by incineration, in accordance with local and national regulations. Do not remove label until container is thoroughly cleaned.
