First-aid measures

Description of first aid measures:
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.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed:
Symptoms:
None known.
Hazards:
Other dangerous properties can not be excluded.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed:
This substance has no remarkable acute health hazard potential.
Acute health damage is therefore not to be expected.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media:
Suitable extinguishing media:
- Water spray jet
- Foam
- Carbon dioxide (CO2)
- Dry powder

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:
Hazard-determining flue gases might develop in case of fire:
- Hydrogen chloride
- Nitrogen oxides (NOx)

Advice for firefighters:
Contaminated extinguishing water must be treated at a suitable disposal plant in accordance with waste management laws.
In case of fire, remove the endangered barrels and bring to a safe place, if this can be done safely.
Keep out unprotected persons.
Wear a self contained respiratory apparatus.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
Wear personal protective equipment.
Avoid formation of dust. Ensure sufficient ventilation.

Environmental precautions:
Observe regulations on prevention of water pollution (check, dam up, cover up).
Do not allow entrance in sewage water, soil, stretches of water, drainage systems, surface water.
If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:
Collect up material. Transfer into suitable containers for recovery or disposal.
Disposal according to local authority regulations.
Avoid dust formation.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling:
Decant and handle product in separate areas only, e.g. use glove boxes, cabinets with differential pressure switch etc.
Ensure that apparatus and pipelines are free from leaks.
Do not ventilate into the open.
Dedicated loading/unloading stations required.
Trained personnel must be used.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
Advice on protection against fire and explosion:
Keep away from combustion sources such as sparks, flames and unprotected light sources.
When using do not smoke.
Take precautionary measures against static charges, keep away from sources of ignition.

Storage:
Store in the original receptacle, keeping this tightly sealed, under cool and dry conditions.

Further information:
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.

German storage class:
11 - Combustible Solids.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Control parameters:
Other information:
Contains no substances with occupational exposure limit values.

DNEL/DMEL values:
Remarks: No substance-related safety assessment is necessary / has been conducted for this product.

PNEC values :
Remarks: No substance-related safety assessment is necessary / has been conducted for this product.

Exposure controls:
Engineering measures:
Decant and handle product in separate areas only, e.g. use glove boxes, cabinets with differential pressure switch etc.
Do not lead exhaust air back to workplace areas unfiltered.
Exhaust filter or scrubber.
Exhaust air filter (HEPA-filter).
Do not add wastewater to a biological wastewater treatment plant.
All precautionary measures indicated have to be observed.
Provide for installation of emergency shower and eye bath.

Exposure controls:
Minimization of emissions by means of suitable technical measures such as flanges and valves with low leakage rates, recirculation of vapours.
The substance must be handled under strictly controlled conditions in accordance with Article 17/18 of the REACH regulation.

Personal protective equipment:
Respiratory protection:
If dust occurs: Respirator with P3 particle filter
Accidental release measures:
In the case of respirable dust, use self-contained breathing apparatus.
Note time limit for wearing respiratory protective equipment.

Hand protection:
Glove material: Nitrile, for example, Dermatril 740, Kächele-Cama Latex GmbH (KCL), Germany
Material thickness: 0.11 mm
Method: DIN EN 374.
Accidental release measures:
Glove material: Nitrile/Chloroprene, for example, Nitopren 717, Kächele-Cama Latex GmbH (KCL), Germany
Material thickness: 0.65 mm
Method: DIN EN 374
Selection of protective gloves to meet the requirements of specific workplaces.
Suitability for specific workplaces should be clarified with protective glove manufacturers.
The information is based on our own tests, references from the literature and information from glove manufacturers, or derived by analogy with similar materials.
Remember that the useful time per day of a chemical protection glove may be much shorter than the permeation time determined according to EN 374 due to the many different influential factors involved (e.g. temperature).

Eye protection:
Safety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166
Accidental release measures:
Close-fitting protective goggles (e.g. closed goggles).

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