First-aid measures

Protection of first-aiders:

No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. It

may be dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Eye contact:

Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower

eyelids. Check for and remove any contact lenses. Continue to rinse for at least 10

minutes. Get medical attention if irritation occurs.

Inhalation:

Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If

not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial

respiration or oxygen by trained personnel. It may be dangerous to the person

providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Get medical attention if adverse

health effects persist or are severe. If unconscious, place in recovery position and

get medical attention immediately. Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing

such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband

Skin contact:

Flush contaminated skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and

shoes. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Wash clothing before reuse. Clean

shoes thoroughly before reuse.

Ingestion:

Wash out mouth with water. Remove dentures if any. Remove victim to fresh air and

keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If material has been swallowed

and the exposed person is conscious, give small quantities of water to drink. Stop if

the exposed person feels sick as vomiting may be dangerous. Do not induce

vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. If vomiting occurs, the head

should be kept low so that vomit does not enter the lungs. Get medical attention if

adverse health effects persist or are severe. Never give anything by mouth to an

unconscious person. If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical

attention immediately. Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a

collar, tie, belt or waistband.

mode. Clothing for fire-fighters (including helmets, protective boots and gloves)

conforming to European standard EN 469 will provide a basic level of protection for chemical incidents.

Accidental release measures

For non-emergency personnel:

No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.

Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from

entering. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Avoid breathing vapor or

mist. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is

inadequate. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment.

For emergency responders:

If specialised clothing is required to deal with the spillage, take note of any information

in MSDS Section 8 on suitable and unsuitable materials. See also the information in "For

non-emergency personnel"

Environmental precautions:

Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains

and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental

pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air). Water polluting material. May be harmful to

the environment if released in large quantities. Collect spillage.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up.

Small spill:

Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Dilute with water and mop

up if water-soluble. Alternatively, or if water-insoluble, absorb with an inert dry

material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Dispose of via a

licensed waste disposal contractor.

Large spill:

Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Approach release from

upwind. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas.

Wash spillages into an effluent treatment plant or proceed as follows. Contain and

collect spillage with non-combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite

or diatomaceous earth and place in container for disposal according to local

regulations (see MSDS section 13). Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.

Contaminated absorbent material may pose the same hazard as the spilled product.

Note: see section 1 for emergency contact information and MSDS section 13 for waste

disposal

Handling and storage

Protectice measures:

Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see MSDS Section 8). Do not ingest.

Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Avoid

release to the environment. Keep in the original container or an approved alternative

made from a compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in use. Empty

containers retain product residue and can be hazardous. Do not reuse container.

Advice on general occupational hygiene:

Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is

handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating,

drinking and smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment

before entering eating areas. See also MSDS Section 8 for additional information on

hygiene measures.

Conditions for safe storage:

Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original container protected from

direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible

materials (see MSDS section 10) and food and drink. Keep container tightly closed and

sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully

resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabeled containers.

Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.
