Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Description of first aid measures. EYES: Remove contact lenses, if present. Wash immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, opening the eyelids fully. If problem persists, seek medical advice. SKIN: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash immediately with plenty of water. If irritation persists, get medical advice/attention. Wash contaminated clothing before using it again. INHALATION: Remove to open air. In the event of breathing difficulties, get medical advice/attention immediately. INGESTION: Get medical advice/attention. Induce vomiting only if indicated by the doctor. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person, unless authorised by a doctor.Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed. For symptoms and effects caused by the contained substances, see Toxicological information.Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed. Information not available.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media. SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING EQUIPMENT: The extinguishing equipment should be of the conventional kind: carbon dioxide, foam, powder and water spray. UNSUITABLE EXTINGUISHING EQUIPMENT: None in particular.Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture. HAZARDS CAUSED BY EXPOSURE IN THE EVENT OF FIRE Do not breathe combustion products.Advice for firefighters.GENERAL INFORMATIONUse jets of water to cool the containers to prevent product decomposition and the development of substances potentially hazardous for health. Always wear full fire prevention gear. Collect extinguishing water to prevent it from draining into the sewer system. Dispose of contaminated water used for extinction and the remains of the fire according to applicable regulations. SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIRE-FIGHTERS Normal fire fighting clothing i.e. fire kit (BS EN 469), gloves (BS EN 659) and boots (HO specification A29 and A30) in combination with self-contained open circuit positive pressure compressed air breathing apparatus (BS EN 137).

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures. Use breathing equipment if fumes or powders are released into the air. These indications apply for both processing staff and those involved in emergency procedures.Environmental precautions. The product must not penetrate into the sewer system or come into contact with surface water or ground water.Methods and material for containment and cleaning up. Confine using earth or inert material. Collect as much material as possible and eliminate the rest using jets of water. Contaminated material should be disposed of in compliance with the provisions set forth in section 'Disposal considerations'.Reference to other sections. Any information on personal protection and disposal is given in sections 'Exposure controls/personal protection' and 'Disposal considerations'.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling. Do not smoke while handling.Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities. Store in a cool and well ventilated place, keeping the containers closed when not used. Keep far away from sources of heat, bright flames and sparks and other sources of ignition.Specific end use(s). Information not available.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Control parameters.Information not available.Exposure controls.As the use of adequate technical equipment must always take priority over personal protective equipment, make sure that the workplace is well aired through effective local aspiration. Personal protective equipment must be CE marked, showing that it complies with applicable standards. Provide an emergency shower with face and eye wash station. HAND PROTECTION Protect hands with category III work gloves (see standard EN 374). The following should be considered when choosing work glove material: compatibility, degradation, failure time and permeability. The work gloves' resistance to chemical agents should be checked before use, as it can be unpredictable. The gloves' wear time depends on the duration and type of use. SKIN PROTECTION Wear category II professional long-sleeved overalls and safety footwear (see Directive 89/686/EEC and standard EN ISO 20344). Wash body with soap and water after removing protective clothing. EYE PROTECTION Wear airtight protective goggles (see standard EN 166). RESPIRATORY PROTECTION If the threshold value (e.g. TLV-TWA) is exceeded for the substance or one of the substances present in the product, use a mask with a type B filter whose class (1, 2 or 3) must be chosen according to the limit of use concentration. (see standard EN 14387). In the presence of gases or vapours of various kinds and/or gases or vapours containing particulate (aerosol sprays, fumes, mists, etc.) combined filters are required. Respiratory protection devices must be used if the technical measures adopted are not suitable for restricting the worker's exposure to the threshold values considered. The protection provided by masks is in any case limited. If the substance considered is odourless or its olfactory threshold is higher than the corresponding TLV-TWA and in the case of an emergency, wear open-circuit compressed air breathing apparatus (in compliance with standard EN 137) or external air-intake breathing apparatus (in compliance with standard EN 138). For a correct choice of respiratory protection device, see standard EN 529.ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE CONTROLS. The emissions generated by manufacturing processes, including those generated by ventilation equipment, should be checked to ensure compliance with environmental standards. Product residues must not be indiscriminately disposed of with waste water or by dumping in waterway

Stability and reactivity

Disposal considerations

Waste treatment methods. Reuse, when possible. Product residues should be considered special hazardous waste. The hazard level of waste containing this product should be evaluated according to applicable regulations. Disposal must be performed through an authorised waste management firm, in compliance with national and local regulations. CONTAMINATED PACKAGING Contaminated packaging must be recovered or disposed of in compliance with national waste management regulations.
