First-aid measures
Description of first aid measures
Immediately remove contaminated clothing. If danger of loss of consciousness, place patient in
recovery position and transport accordingly. Apply artificial respiration if necessary. First aid
personnel should pay attention to their own safety.
If inhaled:
Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air, seek medical attention. Immediately inhale corticosteroid
dose aerosol.
On skin contact:
Immediately wash thoroughly with soap and water, seek medical attention.
On contact with eyes:
Immediately wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open,
consult an eye specialist.
On ingestion:
Rinse mouth immediately and then drink plenty of water, seek medical attention.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Symptoms: The most important known symptoms and effects are described in the labelling (see
section 2) and/or in section 11., Further important symptoms and effects are so far not known.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Treatment: Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions), no known specific
antidote. Pulmonary odema prophylaxis. Medical monitoring for at least 24 hours.
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media:
dry powder, carbon dioxide, foam
Unsuitable extinguishing media for safety reasons:
water
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
hydrogen chloride
The substances/groups of substances mentioned can be released in case of fire.
Advice for fire-fighters
Special protective equipment:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-protective clothing.
Further information:
Fire debris must be disposed of in accordance with offical regulations.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Breathing protection required. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing.
Environmental precautions

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
For small amounts: Pick up with suitable appliance and dispose of.
For large amounts: Pick up with suitable appliance and dispose of.
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Ensure thorough ventilation of stores and work areas. Protect against moisture.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Control parameters
Components with workplace control parameters
75-44-5: phosgene; carbonyl chloride
TWA value 0.08 mg/m3 ; 0.02 ppm (OEL (EU))
STEL value 0.4 mg/m3 ; 0.1 ppm (OEL (EU))
Exposure controls
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection:
Breathing protection if gases/vapours are formed. Gas filter for gases/vapours of organic compounds
(boiling point >65 °C, e. g. EN 14387 Type A) Suitable respiratory protection for higher
concentrations or long-term effect: Self-contained breathing apparatus.
Hand protection:
Chemical resistant protective gloves (EN 374)
Suitable materials short-term contact and/or splashes (recommended: At least protective index 2,
corresponding > 30 minutes of permeation time according to EN 374)
butyl rubber (butyl) - 0.7 mm coating thickness
Manufacturer's directions for use should be observed because of great diversity of types.
Supplementary note: The specifications are based on tests, literature data and information of glove
manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions (e.g.
temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in
practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined through testing.
Eye protection:
Tightly fitting safety goggles (splash goggles) (e.g. EN 166)
Body protection:
Body protection must be chosen depending on activity and possible exposure, e.g. apron, protecting
boots, chemical-protection suit (according to EN 14605 in case of splashes or EN ISO 13982 in case
of dust).
General safety and hygiene measures
Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. Do not breathe vapour/spray.
Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
Corrosion to metals: Corrosive effect on metals.
Reactions with
water/air:
Reaction with: water
Flammable gases: no
Toxic gases: yes
Which toxic gases: hydrogen chloride (HCl)
Corrosive gases: yes
Which corrosive gases: hydrogen chloride (HCl)
Smoke or fog: yes
Type of smoke or fog: Hydrochloric acid
Peroxides: no
Which Peroxides:
Chemical stability
The product is stable if stored and handled as prescribed/indicated.
Possibility of hazardous reactions
Reacts with water and basic components to generate heat. Reacts with amines. Reacts with
alcohols, amines, aqueous acids and alkalies. The formation of gaseous decomposition products
builds up pressure in tightly closed containers if the product is greatly overheated. Evolution of
corrosive gases/vapours. Reacts with activated carbon. Reacts with alkalies and metals. Reacts with
water and moisture, with formation of hydrogen chloride. Partly very violent reactions with bases and
numerous organic classes of substances such as alcohols and amines. Impurities promote
decomposition. Energy is released when reacting with e.g. acids, alkaline reacting substances,
amines or catalysts. ppm traces of heavy metals reduce the onset temperature and lead to instability
and exothermic product release with gas formation.
Conditions to avoid
Temperature: > 40 °C
Avoid excessive temperatures.
Incompatible materials
Substances to avoid:
water, alkaline reactive substances, alcohols, bases, amines, iron compounds, heavy metal salts
Hazardous decomposition products
Hazardous decomposition products:
hydrogen chloride, Carbon dioxide
Disposal considerations
Waste treatment methods
Incinerate in suitable incineration plant, observing local authority regulations.
Contaminated packaging:
Contaminated packaging should be emptied as far as possible; then it can be passed on for
recycling after being thoroughly cleaned.
