Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
General advice
In all cases of doubt consult a physician. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
If inhaled
If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Immediately consult a physician.
In case of skin contact
Wash off with soap and plenty of water. If irritation persists consult a physician.
In case of eye contact
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids.
Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If eye irritation persists call an ophthalmologist.
If swallowed
Rinse mouth immediately and drink plenty of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person or a person with cramps. Consult a physician.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
irritations
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media
Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, Dry extinguishing powder or carbon dioxide.
Unsuitable extinguishing media
High power water jet.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:
Emission of irritating and toxic fumes and gases.
in case of fire very toxic fumes may be released: Carbon oxides, Nitrogen oxides (NOx), Hydrogen bromide (HBr), Hydrogen cyanide (hydrocyanic acid)
Advice for firefighters
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical protective clothing.
Additional information
Use water spray jet to protect personnel and to cool endangered containers.
Do not allow run-off from fire-fighting to enter drains or water courses.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
Provide adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing dusts, vapours, mist or gas. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Wear suitable protective respiration equipment.
Environmental precautions
Do not allow to enter into soil/subsoil.
Do not allow to enter into surface water or drains.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Take up carefully when dry. For larger quantities: Use suitable dust binding material.
Collect in closed and suitable containers for disposal.
Clean up affected area.
Handling and storage
Advice on safe handling
When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Wash hands before breaks and after work.
Provide adequate ventilation as well as local exhaustion at critical locations. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not breathe vapors.
Advice on protection against fire and explosion
Usual measures for fire prevention.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated area. Keep away from heat.
For storage in a common place refer to the respective regulations.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Additional advice on limit values
Dust limits (inhalable and alveolar fraction) must be respected under consideration of national provisions.
Exposure controls
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Wash hands before break and at the end of workday.
Appropriate engineering controls
Provide sufficient ventilation, emergeny shower and eye shower near the workplace.
Eye/face protection
Wear tightly fitting safety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166
Skin protection
Handle with gloves (EN 374). Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique (without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contactwith this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices.
Recommended material: Nitrile rubber
Minimum layer thickness: 0.11 mm
Break through time: 480 min
Body Protection
Complete suit protecting against chemicals, The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.
Respiratory protection
Wear respiratory protection equipment. Use type P3 (EN 143) particle respirator. For higher level protection use type ABEK-P2 (EU EN 143) respirator cartridges. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as CEN (EU).
Control of environmental exposure
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains.
Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
In general: For flammable organic substances dust explosion potential is assumed when finely dispersed in air.
Chemical stability
The substance is chemically stable under recommended conditions of storage, use and temperature.
Possibility of hazardous reactions
No hazardous polymerisation will occur under recommended conditions of storage, use and temperature.
Conditions to avoid
Strong heating.
Incompatible materials
Strong alkali, strong acids,
strong oxidizing agents
Hazardous decomposition products
Hazardous decomposition products formed under fire conditions (see respective section).
Disposal considerations
Advice on disposal
Chemicals and packages as waste must be disposed of in accordance with Directive 2008/98/EC and the respective national and local regulations. Consult your local or regional authorities.
Do not allow to enter into surface water or drains. Dispose of waste according to applicable legislation.
Contaminated packaging
Do not contaminate ground- or surface waters via drainage, by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes. Non-contaminated packages may be recycled. Handle contaminated packages in the same way as the substance itself.
