- Not suitable: None if there is a fire close by, use suitable extinguishing agents.

Specific Hazards.

-Toxic gases or vapours are released.

Protection of Fire Fighters: Self contained breathing apparatus. Complete protective clothing.

Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions: Avoid contact with skin and eyes. If spillage occurs on the public highway, indicate the danger and notify the authorities (police , fire brigade). Full protective clothing and equipment.

Environmental Precautions: Prevent the product from spreading into the environment. Avoid direct discharge into drains. Contain the spilled material by bunding.

Methods for Cleaning up:

-Recovery: Recover as much of the product as possible. Absorb the product onto porous material such as diatomaceous earth, sand , or inert absorbent. Transfer the product into a spare container, suitably labelled. Then take the emergency containers to an area reserved for subsequent disposal.

-Cleaning/Decontamination: Wash non-recoverable remainder with large amounts of water. Recover the cleaning water for subsequent disposal.

- Disposal: Place in an appropriate container and dispose of the contaminated material at a licensed site.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Engineering Measures: Avoid splashes (appropriate clothing, protective screens on machines etc.. Effective exhaust ventilation system.

Control Parameters: Contain no substances with occupational exposure limit values above their regulatory reporting threshold.

Personal Protective Equipment: If the ventilation is suitable, it is not essential to wear respiratory equipment. [In the case of mist, spray or aerosol exposure, wear suitable personal respiratory protection. Suitable mask with particle filter (European Norm 143).

Hand Protection: Impermeable protective gloves. Use suitable chemical-resistant protective gloves (compliant with Standard EN374-1). Protective gloves must be chosen according to the function of the work station, other chemicals which may be handled, physical protection necessary (resistance to cutting, puncture, heat), dexterity required. The selection of gloves must take into account the extent and duration of use at the workstation. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Gloves should be discarded and replaced if there is any indication of degradation or chemical breakthrough.

Eye Protection: Tightly fitting safety goggles. Wear a face shield if there is possible contact by splashing.

Skin and body protection: Wear suitable protective, gloves and eye/face protection.

Selection criteria: Protective equipment must be chosen according to current CEN standards and in cooperation with the supplier of the protective equipment. Personal protective equipment must be defined after a risk assessment for the workstation.

Collective Emergency Equipment: Emergency equipment and first-aid box with instructions readily available. Eye fountain close to the workstation. Safety shower available.

Hygiene measures: Use clean and correctly maintained personal protective equipment. Keep personal protective equipment in a clean place, away from the work area. Always wash hands immediately after handling the product and once again before leaving the workplace. Do NOT eat or drink in the workplace.

Further Information: The user is responsible for monitoring the working environment in accordance with local laws and regulations.
