First-aid measures

General information:
Take persons to a safe place. Observe self-protection for first aid. Always seek medical advice in the event of contact with this substance.
After contact with the eyes:
Rinse immediately with plenty of water for 10-15 minutes. Keep eyelids well open to rinse the whole eye surface and eyelids with water. Seek medical advice immediately and clearly identify substance. Continue to bathe eyes during transport to medical practitioner.
After contact with the skin:
Remove contaminated clothes at once. Wash off with plenty of water or water and soap immediately for 10-15 minutes. In serious cases, use emergency shower immediately. Seek medical advice immediately and clearly identify substance.
After inhalation:
Keep the patient calm. If unconscious place in stable sideways position. Protect against loss of body heat. If breathing stops, administer artificial respiration. Seek medical advice immediately and clearly identify substance.
After swallowing:
If conscious, give several small portions of water to drink. Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical advice immediately and clearly identify substance.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
After inhalation: treat as early as possible using cortisone spray. Medical checks necessary up to a latency period of at least 24 hours. In the event of 1st degree burns use corticoid-externa. In the case of 2nd degree burns, use symptomatic treatment. Risk of intra-abdominal gas developing if swallowed. Risk of perforation of the stomach.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media:
alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide, dry sand. Application of foam will release at least initially significant amounts of flammable and corrosive vapors. These vapors could be trapped under the foam blanket.
Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons:
water, extinguishing powder, halones.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Risk of hazardous gasses or fumes in the event of fire. Exposure to combustion products may be a health hazard! Hazardous combustion products: carbon oxides, silicon oxides, hydrogen chloride, incompletely burnt hydrocarbons, toxic and very toxic fumes. With the use of water-based extinguishing agents care is required because hydrogen can be released, which accumulates after extinguishing the fire in poorly ventilated or confined areas and may refire or cause an explosion. Foam carpets may also include hydrogen or flammable vapors, which can lead to surface bursts. Remove sources of ignition during cleaning and absorbing.
Advice for firefighters
Special protective equipment for fire fighting:
Use respiratory protection independent of recirculated air. Use tightly fitting chemical protection suit. Keep unprotected persons away.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Secure the area. Wear personal protection equipment. Task force: Use tightly fitting chemical protection suit. Keep unprotected persons away. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Do not inhale gases/vapours/aerosols. Do not walk through spilled material. Ensure adequate ventilation. If material is released indicate risk of slipping.
Environmental precautions
Prevent material from entering surface waters, drains or sewers and soil. Close leak if possible without risk. Contain any fluid that runs out using suitable material (e.g. earth). Condense gasses/vapours/mists using a directed spray of water. Retain contaminated water/extinguishing water. Dispose of in prescribed marked containers. Inform authorities if substance leaks into surface waters, sewerage or ground.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Do not flush away with water. For small amounts: Absorb with liquid, mainly acid binding material and dispose of according to local/state/federal regulation. Cover larger quantities by near waterless foam and take up in container. Exhaust vapours. Clean up with plenty of water.
Further information:
Exhaust vapours. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Consider explosion protection.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling
General information:
Avoid exposure by technical measures or personal protective equipment.
Precautions for safe handling:
Ensure adequate ventilation. Must be syphoned off in situ. Spilled substance increases risk of slipping. Avoid formation of aerosols. In case of aerosol formation special protective measures are required (exhausting by suction, respiratory protection).
Precautions against fire and explosion:
Develops with water flammable gas. Flammable vapors may accumulate and form explosive mixtures with air in containers, process vessels, including partial, empty and uncleaned containers and vessels, or other enclosed spaces. Vapours heavier than air, therefore inflammable gas mixture may form mainly near floor. Keep away from sources of ignition and do not smoke. Keep away from open flames, heat and sparks. Take precautionary measures against electrostatic charging. Cool endangered containers with water.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Conditions for storage rooms and vessels:
Store under protective gas. Protect from oxygen admission (air).
Advice for storage of incompatible materials:
Keep away from incompatible substances. Observe local/state/federal regulations.
Further information for storage:
Store in a dry and cool place. Protect against moisture. Store container in a well ventilated place.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Exposure in the work place limited and controlled
General protection and hygiene measures:
Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use. Observe standard industrial hygiene practices for the handling of chemical substances. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Do not inhale gases/vapours/aerosols. Use with adequate ventilation. Preventive skin protection recommended. Remove contaminated, soaked clothing immediately. Clean work areas regularly. Provide emergency shower and eye-bath. Do not eat, drink or smoke when handling. Keep away from foodstuff, drink and feedingstuff.
Personal protection equipment:
Respiratory protection
Use respiratory protection where there is insufficient ventilation (e.g. when working with the product in closed rooms without exhaust ventilation). Suitable respiratory equipment: Respirator with a full face mask, according to acknowledged standards such as EN 136.
Recommended Filter type: Combined filter type ABEK-P2 (certain inorganic, organic and acidic gases and vapors; ammonia/amines; particles), according to acknowledged standards such as EN 14387
If inhalative exposure above the occupational exposure limit cannot be excluded, adequate respiratory protection equipment must be used. Wear a self-contained, positive-pressure respirator with full facepiece and a protection factor (APF) of 2000, according to acknowledged standards such as EN 137, EN 14593 or EN 14594.
