Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Description of first aid measures  

 

General information:

  In case of accident or unwellness, seek medical advice immediately (show directions for use or safety data sheet if possible). Remove contaminated, saturated clothing immediately. Wash thoroughly the body (shower or bath). Remove affected person from the danger area and lay down. Transport affected person in flat position. Put victim at rest, cover with a blanket and keep warm. Do not leave affected person unattended.  

 

Following inhalation:     Remove casualty to fresh air and keep warm and at rest. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration. Call a physician immediately.  

 

In case of skin contact:    After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water and soap. In case of skin reactions, consult a physician. In case of skin irritation, consult a physician.  

 

After eye contact:     In case of contact with eyes flush immediately with plenty of flowing water for 10 to 15 minutes holding eyelids apart and consult an ophthalmologist. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Protect uninjured eye.  

 

After ingestion:     If accidentally swallowed rinse the mouth with plenty of water (only if the person is conscious) and obtain immediate medical attention. Do NOT induce vomiting.      Self-protection of the first aider     First aider: Pay attention to self-protection!  

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed:     Irritating to eyes and skin.  

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed:    Treat symptomatically. First Aid, decontamination, treatment of symptoms.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media:

Suitable extinguishing media:     Carbon dioxide (CO2) Extinguishing powder alcohol resistant foam Water spray Water      Unsuitable extinguishing media     Strong water jet  

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture     In case of fire may be liberated: Carbon monoxide. Carbon dioxide (CO2) Hydrogen chloride (HCl)  

Advice for firefighters:  

Special protective equipment for firefighters     Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical protective clothing. Move undamaged containers from immediate hazard area if it can be done safely. 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. Collect contaminated fire

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

For non-emergency personnel:    Use personal protection equipment.

For emergency responders:     Use personal protection equipment. Provide adequate ventilation. Remove persons to safety.

Environmental precautions: Do not allow to enter into surface water or drains. Do not allow to enter into soil/subsoil.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:    

For containment:    Cover drains. Stop leak if safe to do so. Absorb with liquid-binding material (e.g. sand, diatomaceous earth, acid- or universal binding agents). Take up mechanically, placing in appropriate containers for disposal.      

For cleaning up:     Collect in closed and suitable containers for disposal. Clean contaminated objects and areas thoroughly observing environmental regulations.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling    

Protective measures:  

It is recommended to design all work processes always so that the following is excluded: Inhalation of vapours or spray/mists Skin contact Eye contact  Wear personal protection equipment (refer to section 8). If local exhaust ventilation is not possible or not sufficient, the entire working area should be ventilated by technical means.    

Measures to prevent fire:     Keep away from sources of ignition. - No smoking. Keep away from sources of heat (e.g. hot surfaces), sparks and open flames.    

Environmental precautions:     Shafts and sewers must be protected from entry of the product. Provide for retaining containers, eg. floor pan without outflow.      

Advices on general occupational hygiene:  

Working places should be designed to allow cleaning at any time. Floors, walls and other surfaces in the hazard area must be cleaned regularly. After use replace the closing cap immediately. Wash hands and face before breaks and after work and take a shower if necessary. Wash hands before eating, drinking or smoking. Remove contaminated, saturated clothing immediately. Wash contaminated clothing prior to re-use.  

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:    

Technical measures and storage conditions:     Only use containers specifically approved for the substance/product. Protect containers against damage. Keep container tightly closed and in a well-ventilated place.    

Packaging materials:     Unsuitable container/equipment material: Copper Alloy, containing copper    

Hints on joint storage:     Storage class :   10      Storage class (TRGS 510) :   10      

Keep away from:     Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Control parameters    

Occupational exposure limit values:     To date, no national critical limit values exist.

Exposure controls    

Appropriate engineering controls:     Provide for sufficient ventilation. Technical measures and the application of suitable work processes have priority over personal protection equipment.    

Personal protection equipment    

Eye/face protection:  Suitable eye protection     Eye glasses with side protection  DIN-/EN-Norms : DIN EN 166  Provide eye shower and label its location conspicuously      

Skin protection:    

Hand protection:     Suitable gloves type : Gloves with long cuffs     Suitable material : PVC (Polyvinyl chloride) CR (polychloroprene, chloroprene rubber) Butyl caoutchouc (butyl rubber) PVA (Polyvinyl alcohol) FKM (fluoro rubber)     Wearing time with occasional contact (splashes) : > 10 min     Wearing time with permanent contact : > 480 min  

 

Remark : When handling with chemical substances, protective gloves must be worn with the CE-label including the four control digits.  Breakthrough times and swelling properties of the material must be taken into consideration.  Tested protective gloves must be worn  The quality of the protective gloves resistant to chemicals must be chosen as a function of the specific working place concentration and quantity of hazardous substances.  For special purposes, it is recommended to check the resistance to chemicals of the protective gloves mentioned above together with the supplier of these gloves.  DIN-/EN-Norms : DIN EN 374    

Body protection:     Suitable protective clothing  

Remark :  DIN-/EN-Norms  Protective clothing : DIN EN 14605  footwear : DIN EN ISO 20345  Breakthrough times and swelling properties of the material must be taken into consideration.  Only wear fitting, comfortable and clean protective clothing.    

Respiratory protection:     Usually no personal respirative protection necessary. Respiratory protection necessary at: exceeding exposure limit values insufficient ventilation insufficient exhaust    

Suitable respiratory protection apparatus:     Combination filtering device (EN 14387) Filter type: A    

Remark:     The filter class must be suitable for the maximum contaminant concentration (gas/vapour/aerosol/particulates) that may arise when handling the product. If the concentration is exceeded, self-contained breathing apparatus must be used. Use only respiratory protection equipment with CE-symbol including four digit test number.
