- Main symptoms: causes serious eye damage. Burning feeling and temporary redness. Pain.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed:

- Notes to physician: Treat symptomatically.

 

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media:

- Suitable extinguishing media: Water spray. Dry powder. Carbon dioxide.

- Unsuitable extinguishing media: Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

- Special hazard: none in particular

Advice for firefighters:

- Firefighting instructions: Evacuate non-essential personnel. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Keep containers and surroundings cool with a water spray. Prevent fire extinguishing water from contaminating surface water of the ground water system.

- Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Do not touch or walk through splitted material. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Avoid breathing vapours or mists. Use personal protective equipment. Ensure adequate ventilation.

Environmental precautions:

- Avoid release to the environment. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:

- Large amounts: prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Dike to collect large spills. Cover with plastic sheet to prevent spreading. Use a non-combustable material like vermiculite, sand or earth to soak up the product and place into a container for later disposal. Sweep up and shovel into suitable containers for disposal. Following product recovery, flush area with water.

- Small amounts: wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). After cleaning, flush away traces with water. Never return spills in original containers for re-use.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling:

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety procedures. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Avoid breathing vapours or mists. Ensure adequate ventilation. Wear personal protective equipment. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.

 

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:

Store in accordance with local regulations. Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well ventilated place. Keep temperatures below 69 °C / 156 °F. Keep under an inert atmosphere. Protect from moisture, oxidizing agents, acids and bases.
