First-aid measures

Description of first aid measures

Inhalation: Remove exposed person to fresh air if adverse effects are observed.

Eye contact: Any material that contacts the eye should be washed out immediately with water. If easy to do, remove contact lenses.

Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water. If skin irritation occurs, get medical attention.

Ingestion: Treat symptomatically. Get medical attention.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed: See section “Toxicological information”.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Hazards: No data available.

Treatment: Treat symptomatically.

Fire-fighting measures

Firefighting measures

General Fire Hazards: No unusual fire or explosion hazards noted.

Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media: CO2, dry chemical, foam, water spray, water fog.

Unsuitable extinguishing media: Not determined.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture: When heated, hazardous gases may be released including: sulfur dioxide. See section 10 for additional information.

Advice for firefighters

Special fire fighting procedures: No data available.

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: Wear full protective firegear including self-containing breathing apparatus operated in the positive pressure mode with full facepiece, coat, pants, gloves and boots.

Accidental release measures

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Personal Protective Equipment must be worn, see Personal Protection Section for PPE recommendations. Caution: Contaminated surfaces may be slippery.

Environmental Precautions: Avoid release to the environment. Do not contaminate water sources or sewer. Environmental manager must be informed of all major spillages. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Dike far ahead of larger spill for later recovery and disposal. Pick up free liquid for recycle and/or disposal. Residual liquid can be absorbed on inert material.

Reference to other sections: See sections "Exposure controls/personal protection" and 13 "Disposal considerations" for additional information.

Handling and storage

Handling and storage:

Precautions for safe handling: Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.

Maximum Handling Temperature: 70 °C

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Store away from incompatible materials. See section “Stability and reactivity” for incompatible materials.

Maximum Storage Temperature: 45 °C

Specific end use(s): End uses are listed in an attached exposure scenario when one is required.

Exposure controls

Appropriate engineering controls: No special requirements under ordinary conditions of use and with adequate ventilation.

Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment

General information: Use personal protective equipment as required.

Eye/face protection: If contact is likely, safety glasses with side shields are recommended.

Skin protection

 -Hand Protection: Suitable gloves can be recommended by the glove supplier.

 -Other: No data available.

 - Respiratory Protection: Consult with an industrial hygienist to determine the appropriate respiratory protection for your specific use of this material. A respiratory protection program compliant with all applicable regulations must be followed whenever workplace conditions require the use of a respirator.

 - Hygiene measures: Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing to remove contaminants. Discard contaminated  footwear that cannot be cleaned.

Environmental Controls: No data available.See section "Accidental release measures" for details.

Stability and reactivity

Stability and reactivity

Reactivity: No data available.

Chemical Stability: Material is stable under normal conditions.

Possibility of hazardous reactions: Will not occur.

Conditions to avoid: Do not expose to excessive heat, ignition sources, or oxidizing materials.

Incompatible Materials: Oxidizing agents.

Hazardous Decomposition Products: Smoke, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, aldehydes and other products  of incomplete combustion. Hydrogen sulfide and alkyl mercaptans and sulfides may also be released. Thermal decomposition or combustion may generate smoke, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide , nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, mercaptans, sulfides, including hydrogen sulfide and other  products of incomplete combustion. Thermal decompositon may generate phosphorus oxides and other phosphorus containing compounds.

Disposal considerations

Waste treatment methods

Disposal methods: Treatment, storage, transportation, and disposal must be in accordance with applicable Federal, State/Provincial, and Local regulations.

Since emptied containers retain product residue, follow label warnings even after container is emptied.

Contaminated Packaging: Container packaging may exhibit hazards.
