Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
Description of first aid measures
Inhalation
Move the casualty into the fresh air.
Consult a doctor if the person has difficulty in breathing.
Skin
In the case of contact with the skin, wash immediately with abundant soap and water.
Eye
For eye contact, flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes. Hold eyelids apart to ensure rinsing of the entire surface of the surface of the eyes and lids with water.
Get medical attention.
Ingestion
Do not induce vomit.
If vomiting takes place naturally, bend the person forward to prevent suffocation hazard.
Consult a doctor.
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Appropriate fire-fighting equipment
Foam, carbon dioxide (CO2), powder, water spray.
Inappropriate fire-fighting equipment
Do not use water jets as they can disperse and spread fire.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
If involved in a fire, remember it can produce toxic gases.
Advice for firefighters
Special protective equipment in case of fire
Use personal protective equipment.
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Additional advice
Use atomized water to cool closed containers in a fire.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Move any people not authorized to contain the emergency out of the area.
Avoid coming in contact with the substance or handling containers without adequate protection.
Use the personal protective equipment described in section ' Exposure controls/personal protection'.
Eliminate all sources of ignition.
Remove all incompatible materials as outlined in section ' Stability and reactivity'.
Environmental precautions
Contain the spillage as far as possible.
Prevent spilled materials getting into the drainage system, wells, surface water or groundwater.
In the case of leaks into a water course, drains, or if the product has contaminated the ground or vegetation, contact the local authorities.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Do not use equipment that can generate sources of ignition when cleaning.
If possible, vacuum up the spilled material and/or absorb parts that can't be vacuumed up with inert materials (sand, earth, absorbent materials...) and place in suitable containers (separate liquids and solids) for disposal in accordance with section ' Disposal considerations'. After collection, ventilate and clean the affected area with water before granting access.
Do not flush the water used for cleaning into watercourses or down drains.
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Recommendations for safe use
Provide sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
Avoid breathing vapors.
Advice on general occupational hygiene
Do no eat, drink or smoke when using this product.
Wash face, hands and mouth thoroughly after handling.
Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace.
Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Requisites of the warehouse and the containers
Keep in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place.
Additional information
Keep the recipient tightly closed.
Storage stability
Stable in normal conditions.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Appropriate engineering controls:
Ensure the premises where the substance is stored/handled are adequately ventilated, cool and dry.
Eye / face protection:
Safety goggles or visor (EN 166)
Skin protection / of the Hand:
Suitable chemical resistant safety gloves (EN 374) e.g. nitrile rubber (0.4 mm), chloroprene rubber (0.5 mm), PVC (0.7 mm) and other. Consult the glove manufacturer for specific information on the suitability of the gloves. Replace the gloves in the case of internal contamination, when punctured, or if external contamination cannot be removed. The practical usage time depends on many conditions, see manufacturer's directions.
Skin protection / of the body:
Use suitable protective clothing for chemical substances.
Respiratory protection:
When vapors concentrations exceed permissible exposure limits, wear respiratory protection.
Gas filter EN 141 type A for gases and vapors of organic compounds (boiling point >65°C)
Thermal hazards:
None under normal storage conditions. When moving the product, it may be heated to temperatures below 100 °C
Environmental exposure controls:
See sections 'Accidental release measures' and 'Disposal considerations'.

Stable in normal conditions
Possibility of hazardous reactions
Not relevant
Conditions to avoid
See section 'Accidental release measures'

Disposal considerations
Waste treatment methods
Recycle if possible, or send to an authorized incinerator. Follow the instructions in sections 'Accidental release measures' and 'Handling and storage' when handling waste spillages, taking the steps indicated in the same sections. We recommend recycling containers instead of disposal. Observe the local and national legislation in force.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
