First-aid measures

4.1 General informations

Move victim out of danger zone. Position and transport victim on their side. In case of

respiratory distress, bring into semi-upright, seated position. Remove contaminated

clothing immediatley and dispose off safely. Put victim at rest, cover with a blanket

and keep warm. Do not leave victim unattended. In case of accident or if you feel

unwell, seek medical advice immediately (show safety data sheet if possible).

Medical treatment necessary.

Fire-fighting measures

5.1 Suitable extinguishing media

Water spray jet. Water mist. Foam. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Extinguishing powder.

5.2 Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons

Full water jet.

5.3 Special exposure hazards arising from the substance or preparation itself,

combustion products, resulting gases

In case of fire may be liberated:

Sulphur dioxide (SO2). Sulphur trioxide.

5.4 Special protective equipment for fire-fighters

Wear full chemical protective clothing. In case of fire: Wear self-contained breathing

apparatus.

5.5 Additional information

Intervention Actions-General

Keep upwind. Put on protective equipment before entering danger area.

Intervention Actions-Fire (involving the substance)

Heating of container(s) will cause pressure rise with risk of bursting and subsequent

explosion. Gives off toxic and irritant fumes when heated or burning. May attack

metals and produce hydrogen gas which may form explosive mixture with air. The

vapour may be invisible and is heavier than air. It spreads along the ground and may

enter sewers and basements. Keep container(s) cool with water. Extinguish with

water fog (spray). Do not use water jet to extinguish. Use water spray to knock down

fire fumes if possible. Avoid unnecessary run-off of extinguishing media which may

cause pollution.

Wear personal protection equipment.

6.2 Environmental precautions

Stop leaks if possible. Contain spillage by any means available.

6.3 Methods for cleaning up

Refer to chapter 6.4

6.4 Additional information

dusting. Wash away remainder with plenty of water. Personal protection: P2 filter

respirator for harmful particles.

Handling and storage

7.1 Handling

7.1.1 Advices on safe handling

Protective measures

Wear personal protection equipment. Refer to chapter 8. Do not eat, drink, smoke or

sneeze at the workplace.

Dangerous areas must be delimited and marked with appropriate warning and safety

signs. In the immediate working surroundings there must be: Emergency spray

installed. provide eye wash and label its location conspicuously. provide sufficient

washing facilities. Fill only into labelled container. Instruction on the hazards and the

protective measures using instruction manual are required with signature.

Working areas must be arranged in such a manner that they can be cleaned at all

times.

7.1.2 Technical measures

Measures to prevent aerosol and dust generation

It is recommende to design all work processes always so that the following is

excluded: Inhalation. Skin contact. Eye contact. If handled uncovered, arrangements

with local exhaust ventilation should be used if possible.

Measures required to protect the environment

No special environmental protection measures are necessary.

7.1.3 Specific requirements or handling rules

The floor should be leak tight, jointless and not absorbent.

7.1.4 Precautions against fire and explosion

Usual measures for fire prevention.

7.2 Storage

7.2.1 Technical measures and storage conditions

Keep container tightly closed. Keep/Store only in original container.

Protect against: Humidity. UV-radiation/sunlight.

7.2.2 Hints on storage assembly

Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs.

7.2.3 Further information on storage conditions

See section 7. No additional measures necessary.

Personal protection equipment

Respiratory protection

Respiratory protection required in case of: Handling larger quantities. In the case of

the formation of dust.

Suitable respiratory protective equipment: Particle filter device (DIN EN 143).

Type of mask: Half-face mask (DIN EN 140).

Filtering device: P2 or P3

Hand protection

Use protective gloves. The glove material must be sufficiently impermeable and

resistant to the substance. Check the tightness before wear. Gloves should be well

cleaned before being removed, then stored in a well ventilated location. Pay attention

to skin care. Textile or leather gloves are completely unsuitable.

The following information is valid for aqueous, saturated solutions of the substance.

Suitable materials for gloves are (brakthrough time>=8 hours)

NR (Natural rubber (Caoutchouc), Natural latex) - NR (0,5 mm); CR (polychloroprenes, Chloroprene

rubber) - CR (0,5 mm); NBR (Nitrile rubber)- NBR (0,35 mm); Butyl rubber - Butyl (0,5 mm); FKM

(fluororubber) - FKM (0,4 mm); PVC (Polyvinyl chloride)- PVC (0,5 mm);

The times listed are suggested by measurements taken at 22 degree C and constant

contact. Temperatures raised by warmed substances, body heat, etc. and a

weakening of the effective layer thickness caused by expansion can lead to a

significantly shorter breakthrough time. In case of doubt contact the gloves'

manufacturer. A 1.5-times increase / decrease in the layer thickness doubles / halves

the breakthrough time. This data only applies to the pure substance. Transferred to

mixtures of substances, these figures should only be taken as an aid to orientation.

Eye protection

Suitable eye protection: Tightly sealed safety glasses.

Remark: -

Protective clothing

Suitable protection of the body: Chemical resistant safety shoes. Protective

clothing: DIN EN 13034

Required properties: -

General health and safety measures

When using do not eat, drink, smoke, sneeze. Wash hands and face before breaks

and after work and take a shower if necessary. Draw up skin protection programme.

Used working clothes must not be worn outside the working area. Separate storage of

work clothes. Immediately remove any contaminated clothing, shoes or stockings.

In the immediate working surroundings there must be: Emergency shower installed.

Make available sufficient washing facilities. Provide eye shower and label its location

conspicuously.

Set out skin protection guidelines. Only wear fitting, comfortable and clean protective

clothing.

8.2.2 Environmental exposure controls

See section 7. No additional measures necessary.
