First-aid measures

Description of first aid measures


General advice:


Consult a physician. Move out of dangerous area. Do not leave the victim unattended. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.


 


Protection of first-aiders:


No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.


 


If inhaled:


If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately. If not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel. Keep respiratory tract clear. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. In case of inhalation of decomposition products in a fire, symptoms may be delayed. The exposed person may need to be kept under medical surveillance for 48 hours. If symptoms persist, call a physician.


 


In case of skin contact:


Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water. Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. If symptoms persist, call a physician.


 


In case of eye contact:


Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Keep eye wide open while rinsing. Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. Remove contact lenses. Protect unharmed eye. If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.


 


If swallowed:


Rinse mouth with water. Give small amounts of water to drink. DO NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by a physician or poison control center. If vomiting occurs, the head should be kept low so that vomit does not enter the lungs. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately. Keep respiratory tract clear. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If symptoms persist, call a physician.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media


Suitable extinguishing media:


Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.


 


Unsuitable extinguishing media:


Do not use water jet.


 


Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture


Specific hazards during firefighting:


In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst. Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.


 


Hazardous combustion products:


Carbon dioxide (CO2); Carbon monoxide; Nitrogen oxides (NOx); Oxides of phosphorus


 


Advice for firefighters


Special protective equipment for firefighters:


Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.


 


Further information:


Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Use a water spray to cool fully closed containers. Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This must not be discharged into drains.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures


Personal precautions:


Use personal protective equipment. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Do not touch or walk through spilt material. Remove all sources of ignition. Do not breathe vapours or spray mist. Provide adequate ventilation. In case of inadequate ventilation wear respiratory protection. Use personal protective equipment.


 


Environmental precautions


Environmental precautions:


Avoid dispersal of spilt material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers. If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.


 


Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up


Methods for cleaning up:


Move containers from spill area. Stop leak if safe to do so. Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust). Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal. Dispose of wastes in an approved waste disposal facility.


 

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling


Advice on safe handling:


Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not breathe vapours/dust. Avoid formation of aerosol. Provide sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms. Keep in the original container or an approved alternative made from a compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in use. Avoid spark promoters. Ground/bond container and equipment. These alone may be insufficient to remove static electricity. Dispose of rinse water in accordance with local and national regulations.


 


Advice on protection against fire and explosion:


Do not spray on a naked flame or any incandescent material. Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition.


 


Hygiene measures:


General industrial hygiene practice. When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Wash hands and face before breaks and immediately after handling the product


 


Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities


Requirements for storage areas and containers:


Observe label precautions. Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see Section 10) and food and drink. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Keep containers sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Electrical installations / working materials must comply with the technological safety standards.


 


Storage class (TRGS 510):


10, Combustible liquids


 


Recommended storage temperature:


< 50 °C


 


Further information on storage stability:


No decomposition if stored and applied as directed.
