First-aid measures

General advice
In the case of accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately (show the label where possible).
Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
First aider needs to protect himself.
Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.

If inhaled
IF INHALED: Remove to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.
Call a physician immediately.
Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.

In case of skin contact
Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water.
Immediate medical treatment is necessary as untreated wounds from corrosion of the skin heal slowly and with difficulty.

In case of eye contact
In the case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice.

If swallowed
Immediately give large quantities of water to drink.
Prevent vomiting if possible.
Call a physician or poison control centre immediately.
Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.

Notes to physician
Treat symptomatically.
Wash off with: Polyethylene glycol 400.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media: Foam, Water, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Dry powder, Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.
Special exposure hazards arising from the substance or preparation itself, its combustion products, or released gases: Fire may cause evolution of: Gaseous hydrogen chloride (HCl).
Special protective equipment for firefighting: Personal protection through wearing a tightly closed chemical protection suit and a self-contained breathing apparatus.
Additional information on firefighting: Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.
Evacuate personnel to safe areas.
Use personal protective equipment.


Environmental precautions
Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.
Avoid subsoil penetration.

Methods for cleaning up
Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust).
Dispose of as special waste in compliance with local and national regulations.
Clean contaminated floors and objects thoroughly while observing environmental regulations.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Respiratory protection
Breathing apparatus needed only when aerosol or mist is formed.

Hand protection
Impervious butyl rubber gloves;
Material thickness: 0,7 mm
Break through time: > 480 min
Reference substance: Take note of the information given by the producer concerning permeability and break through times, and of special workplace conditions (mechanical strain, duration of contact).

Eye protection

remarks: DFG, EU, H, Y

We declare that the substance is manufactured under strictly controlled conditions during its whole lifecycle. Furthermore, we have received confirmation from the user that the synthesis of other substance from this intermediate takes place under strictly controlled conditions during its whole lifecycle as described under Article 18(4) and Section 2.1 of the Guidance for Intermediates.

Effectiveness:
Prevention of exposure since the substance is rigorously contained by technical means during its whole lifecycle and procedural and control technologies are used to minimise emission and any resulting exposure as described under Article 18(4).

Stability and reactivity

Hazardous decomposition products: Gaseous hydrogen chloride (HCl).

Hazardous reactions: Incompatible with bases. Gives off hydrogen by reaction with metals.

Disposal considerations

Disposal considerations
Dispose of in accordance with the European Directives on waste and hazardous waste. Waste codes should be assigned by the user, preferably in discussion with the waste disposal authorities.

Uncleaned empty packaging
Dispose of in accordance with the European Directives on waste and hazardous waste.
Dispose of as unused product.
