First-aid measures

Description of first aid measures


First aid personnel should pay attention to their own safety. Remove affected person from danger area. Immediately remove contaminated clothing. If the patient is likely to become unconscious, place and transport in stable sideways position (recovery position). Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing.


 


If inhaled:


Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air, seek medical attention. Immediately administer a corticosteroid from a controlled/metered dose inhaler.


 


On skin contact:


Immediately wash thoroughly with soap and water, seek medical attention.


 


On contact with eyes:


Immediately wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open, consult an eye specialist.


 


On ingestion:


Immediately rinse mouth and then drink 200-300 ml of water, seek medical attention. Do not induce vomiting.


 


Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed


Symptoms: Information, i.e. additional information on symptoms and effects may be included in the GHS labeling phrases available in Section 2 and in the Toxicological assessments available in Section 11.


 


Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed


Treatment: Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions), no known specific antidote. Pulmonary odema prophylaxis. Medical monitoring for at least 24 hours.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media


Suitable extinguishing media:


dry powder, water spray, carbon dioxide, alcohol-resistant foam


 


Unsuitable extinguishing media for safety reasons:


water jet


 


Additional information:


Use extinguishing measures to suit surroundings.


 


 


Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture


 


Advice: Do not breathe gas/vapour. The product is combustible. Burning produces harmful and toxic fumes.


 


Advice: Shut off or stop released substance/product under safe conditions. Cool endangered containers with water-spray. Due to the organic compound content of the preparation, fire will produce dense black smoke. Inhalation of dangerous decomposition products may cause serious damage to health.


 


Advice: Do not release chemically contaminated water into drains, soil or surface water. Sufficient measures must be taken to retain the water used for extinguishing. Dispose of contaminated water and soil according to local regulations.


 


 


Advice for fire-fighters


 


Special protective equipment:


Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus. Special protective equipment for firefighters


 


Further information:


Evacuate area of all unnecessary personnel. Fight fire from maximum distance.


 


Extend fire extinguishing measures to the surroundings. Dispose of fire debris and contaminated extinguishing water in accordance with official regulations.

Accidental release measures

High risk of slipping due to leakage/spillage of product.


Shut off or stop source of leak. Shut off or stop released substance/product under safe conditions.


Pack in tightly closed containers for disposal.


 


Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures


 


Avoid all sources of ignition: heat, sparks, open flame. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. Ensure adequate ventilation. Breathing protection required.


 


Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Keep people away and stay on the upwind side. Beware of pits and confined spaces.


 


Use antistatic tools. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.


 


 


Environmental precautions


 


Due to the pH-value of the product, neutralization is generally required before discharging sewage into treatment plants.


 


Discharge into the environment must be avoided. Collect contaminated washing water for appropriate disposal.


 


 


Methods and material for containment and cleaning up


 


For large amounts: Pump off product.


 


Suppress gases/vapours/mists with water spray jet.


 


Ensure adequate ventilation. Cleaning operations should be carried out only while wearing breathing apparatus.


 


Pick up with suitable appliance and dispose of. Spills should be contained, solidified, and placed in suitable containers for disposal. Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with regulations.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling


Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Ensure thorough ventilation of stores and work areas. Avoid all sources of ignition: heat, sparks, open flame. Protect from direct sunlight. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Avoid inhalation of dusts/mists/vapours. Change clothes immediately after contamination. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. Avoid aerosol formation.


 


Protection against fire and explosion:


No special precautions necessary. Substance/product is non-flammable.


 


Temperature class: T2 (Autoignition temperature >300 °C).


 


 


Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities


 


The product in undamaged packing need not be stored separately.


Unsuitable materials for containers: Aluminium


Further information on storage conditions:  Containers should be stored tightly sealed in a dry place.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Personal protective equipment


Respiratory protection:


Wear respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate. Gas filter for gases/vapours of organic compounds (boiling point >65 °C, e. g. EN 14387 Type A)


 


Hand protection:


Use gauntlets.


Suitable materials also with prolonged, direct contact (Recommended:  Protective index 6, corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to EN ISO 374-1):


Chemical resistant protective gloves (EN ISO 374-1)


fluoroelastomer (FKM) - 0.7 mm coating thickness


butyl rubber (butyl) - 0.7 mm coating thickness


Supplementary note: The specifications are based on tests, literature data and information of glove manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions (e.g. temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined through testing.


Manufacturer's directions for use should be observed because of great diversity of types.


 


Eye protection:


Tightly fitting safety goggles (splash goggles) (e.g. EN 166)


 


Body protection:


Body protection must be chosen depending on activity and possible exposure, e.g. apron, protecting boots, chemical-protection suit (according to EN 14605 in case of splashes or EN ISO 13982 in case of dust).


 


General safety and hygiene measures


Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
