First-aid measures

General notes

Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. In case of unconsciousness place person in the recovery position. Never give anything by mouth.

Following inhalation

Provide fresh air. In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical advice.

Following skin contact

Rinse skin with water/shower. Take off contaminated clothing. If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention.

Following eye contact

Irrigate copiously with clean, fresh water for at least 10 minutes, holding the eyelids apart. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Call a physician immediately.

Following ingestion

Rinse mouth with water (only if the person is conscious). Do not induce vomiting.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

Symptoms and effects are not known to date.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

No specific antidote is known. Treatment of the symptoms.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media

Co-ordinate firefighting measures to the fire surroundings. Water spray, alcohol resistant foam, fire extinguishing powder, carbon dioxide (CO2).

Unsuitable extinguishing media

Water jet

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Substance or mixture corrosive to metals.

Hazardous combustion products

Carbon monoxide (CO), Carbon dioxide (CO2)

Advice for firefighters

Keep containers cool with water spray. In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Do not allow firefighting water to enter drains or water courses. Collect contaminated firefighting water separately. Fight fire with normal precautions from a reasonable distance.

Special protective equipment for firefighters

Use suitable breathing apparatus.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

For non-emergency personnel

Remove persons to safety.

For emergency responders

Wear breathing apparatus if exposed to vapours/dust/spray/gases. Use personal protective equipment as required.

Environmental precautions

Keep away from drains, surface and ground water. Retain contaminated washing water and dispose of it. Chemicals generally shouldn’t reach surface water.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Advice on how to contain a spill

Covering of drains

Advice on how to clean up a spill

Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Collect spillage: Absorbent material (e.g. sand, diatomaceous earth, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust, etc.) Material for neutralizing like diluted acetic acid.

Appropriate containment techniques

Use of adsorbent materials.

Other information relating to spills and releases

Place in appropriate containers for disposal. Ventilate affected area.

Reference to other sections

Please refer to ‘Handling and Storage’, ‘Exposure controls/personal protection’ and ‘Disposal considerations’.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Recommendations

Measures to prevent fire as well as aerosol and dust generation

No special measures are necessary.

Handling of incompatible substances or mixtures

Keep away from

Acids

Advice on general occupational hygiene

Wash hands after use. Do not eat, drink and smoke in work areas. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas. Never keep food or drink in the vicinity of chemicals. Never place chemicals in containers that are normally used for food or drink. Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Managing of associated risks

Corrosive conditions

Store in corrosive resistant container with a resistant inner liner.

Specific designs for storage rooms or vessels

Keep container tightly closed.

Packaging compatibilities

Keep only in original container. Only packaging which is approved (e.g. acc. to ADR) may be used.

Specific end use(s)

Water treatment chemical. Industrial use.
