First-aid measures

Description of necessary first-aid measures

General information:

Pay attention to self-protection. Remove victims from hazardous area. Immediately remove soiled or soaked clothing and remove it to a safe distance. Keep victim warm, in a stabilized position and covered. Do not leave victims unattended. If the casualty is unconscious: Place the victim in the recovery position.

Inhalation:

Inhalation is possible if aerosols, mists, dusts, or smoke form. Move victims into fresh air. With labored breathing: Provide with oxygen. Consult a doctor. If the casualty is not breathing: Perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, notify emergency physician immediately.

Skin Contact:

Wash off affected area immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If symptoms persist, consult a physician for treatment.

Eye contact:

With eye held open, thoroughly rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 10 minutes. In case of persistent discomfort: Consult an ophthalmologist.

Ingestion:

Rinse mouth. Immediately give large quantities of water to drink. Obtain medical attention.

Personal Protection for First-aid Responders:

In case of fire: full protective suit and wear a self contained respiratory apparatus, Wear suitable protective clothing. As in any fire, wear self-contained positive-pressure breathing apparatus and full protective gear.

Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed

Symptoms:

None known.

Hazards:

Other dangerous properties can not be excluded.

Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Treatment:

This substance does not have any noteworthy noxious potential. Damage to health is thus not expected.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable (and unsuitable) extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media:

Water spray, foam, CO2, dry powder.

Unsuitable extinguishing media:

High volume water jet.

Specific hazards arising from the chemical:

In case of fire cool endangered containers with water. Hazardous fumes in fires, specific to the product: Hydrogen chloride. Under certain fire conditions, traces of other toxic products may occur.

Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters

Special fire fighting procedures:

Water for fire fighting must not be introduced in the sewer system, subsoil, or surface waters. Assure that there are sufficient fire water retaining facilities Contaminated fire fighting water must be disposed of in conformity with the regulations of the local authorities. Fire residues should be disposed of in accordance with the regulations.

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters:

In case of fire: full protective suit and wear a self contained respiratory apparatus Wear suitable protective clothing. As in any fire, wear self-contained positive-pressure breathing apparatus and full protective gear.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Wear personal protective equipment; see section 8. Keep unauthorized personnel away. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Immediately remove wet clothing. Do not inhale vapours / aerosols.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:

Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust). Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal. Assure sufficient ventilation. Disposal according to local authority regulations.

Environmental Precautions:

Prevent substance from entering soil, natural bodies of water and sewer systems. If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities. Obey relevant local, state, provincial and federal laws and regulations. Do not contaminate any lakes, streams, ponds, groundwater or soil.

Handling and storage

Handling

Technical measures (e.g. Local and general ventilation):

If possible, use material transfer/filling, metering and blending plants that are closed. If contact with gases or vapours cannot be excluded: Extraction at the emission source required.

Safe handling advice:

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. The personal protective equipment used must meet the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2016/425 and amendments (CE certification).Avoid residues of the product on the containers. Provide good ventilation or extraction. Wear personal protective equipment; see section 8.

Contact avoidance measures:

No data available.

Hygiene measures:

Do not inhale vapours / aerosols. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wash off immediately in the event of contact with the skin (rinsing agent: glycol polyethylene 400), rinse off afterwards with copious amounts of water. Do not eat, drink, smoke, or sniff while at work. Wash your hands and/or face before breaks and before termination of work. Take off clothing and shoes contaminated with product. Clean before reuse.

Storage

Safe storage conditions:

In order to ensure due transportation, make certain that stacks are of the correct height, containers are securely fastened so as not to fall off, and labelled according to the regulations.Store in the original receptacle, keeping this tightly sealed, under cool and dry conditions. Inadequate materials are: Light metals copper, brass Observe prohibition against storing together!Normal measures for preventive fire protection. Take precautionary measures against static charges, keep away from sources of ignition. Explosion protection equipment required.

Safe packaging materials:

No data available.

Storage Temperature:

No data available.

Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment

Eye/face protection:

Safety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166

Skin Protection

Hand Protection:

Additional Information: Applies to handling for brief periods or of small amountsMaterial: Nitrile.

Guideline: DIN EN 374Additional Information: Applies to handling for longer periods or of large amountsMaterial: Fluorinated rubber (Viton)

Guideline: DIN EN 374Additional Information: Be aware that in daily use the durability of a chemical resistant protective glove can be notably shorter than the break through time measured according to EN 374, due to the numerous outside influences (e.g. temperature)., The suitability for a specific workplace should be discussed with the producers of the protective gloves.

Skin and Body Protection:

Select materials and equipment for physical protection depending on the concentration and volume of hazardous substances and the workplace involved.

Respiratory Protection:

in case vapors or aerosols appear use respiratory equipment with suitable filter or wear a self contained respiratory apparatus Suitable filter: A, code colour brown Note time limit for wearing respiratory protective equipment.

Hygiene measures:

Do not inhale vapours / aerosols. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wash off immediately in the event of contact with the skin (rinsing agent: glycol polyethylene 400), rinse off afterwards with copious amounts of water. Do not eat, drink, smoke, or sniff while at work. Wash your hands and/or face before breaks and before termination of work. Take off clothing and shoes contaminated with product. Clean before reuse.
