Administrative data

First-aid measures

In event of emergency assess the danger before taking action. Do not put yourself at risk of injury. If in doubt, contact emergency

INHALATION

Remove to fresh air, treat symptomatically. If symptoms develop, seek medical advice.

SKIN CONTACT

Get immediate medical attention. Remove contaminated clothing. Wash clothing before reuse. Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. For a large splash, flood body under a shower.

EYE CONTACT

Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get immediate medical attention. PROMPT ACTION IS ESSENTIAL IN CASE OF CONTACT.

INGESTION

Seek medical advice immediately, showing the label and/or SDS. If conscious, washout mouth and give water to drink. If unconsious, do not give anything by mouth, place in the recovery position, check breathing and pulse. If necessary give artifical respiration.

PROTECTION FOR FIRST AID PERSONNEL

Wear adequate personal protective equipment.

Fire-fighting measures

SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA

This product would not be expected to burn unless all the water is boiled away. The remaining organics may be ignitable. Keep containers cool by spraying with water. Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire.

SPECIAL HAZARDS ARISING FROM THE SUBSTANCE OR MIXTURE

May evolve oxides of carbon (COx) under fire conditions. May evolve oxides of nitrogen (NOx) under fire conditions.

In the event of a spill, prevent material and fire water from entering sewers or waterways.

ADVICE FOR FIRE FIGHTERS

In case of fire, wear a full face positive-pressure self contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.

Accidental release measures

Use personal protective equipment recommended in Section 8 (Exposure Controls/Personal Protection).

ADVICE FOR EMERGENCY RESPONDERS

Restrict access to area as appropriate until clean-up operations are complete. Use personal protective equipment recommended in Section 8 (Exposure Controls/Personal Protection). Ventilate spill area if possible. Ensure clean-up is conducted by trained personnel only. Have emergency equipment (for fires, spills, leaks, etc.) readily available. Notify appropriate government, occupational health and safety and environmental authorities.

ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS

In the event of a spill, prevent material from entering sewers or waterways. Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system. Prevent product from entering drains. If drains, streams, soil or sewers become contaminated, notify local authority. This product may pose a risk to the aquatic ecosystem if released.

METHODS AND MATERIALS FOR CONTAINMENT AND CLEANING UP

SMALL SPILLS: Soak up spill with absorbent material. Place residues in a suitable, covered, properly labeled container. Wash affected area. LARGE SPILLS: Contain liquid using absorbent material, by digging trenches or by diking. Reclaim into recovery or salvage drums or tank truck for proper disposal. Clean contaminated surfaces with water or aqueous cleaning agents. Contact an approved waste hauler for disposal of contaminated recovered material. Dispose of material in compliance with regulations

Handling and storage

HANDLING

Prevent contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Use with adequate ventilation. Do not breathe vapors/gases/dust. Keep the containers closed when not in use. Ensure all containers are labeled. Have emergency equipment (for fires, spills, leaks, etc.) readily available. Use personal protective equipment

HYGIENE RECOMMENDATIONS

Use good work and personal hygiene practices to avoid exposure. Keep an eye wash fountain available. Keep a safety shower available. Always wash thoroughly after handling chemicals. When handling this product never eat, drink or smoke. Eye wash station and safety shower are necessary. If clothing is contaminated, remove

clothing and thoroughly wash the affected area. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse. Always wash thoroughly after handling chemicals. When handling this product never eat, drink or smoke.

STORAGE CONDITIONS

Store the containers tightly closed. Store in suitable labeled containers. Store separately from acids.

Exposure controls / personal protection

ENGINEERING MEASURES:

General ventilation is recommended. The use of local exhaust ventilation is recommended to control emissions near the source. Laboratory samples should be handled in a fumehood. Provide mechanical ventilation of confined spaces.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

GENERAL ADVICE

The use and choice of personal protection equipment is related to the hazard of the product, the workplace and the way the product is handled. In general, we recommend as a minimum precaution that safety glasses with side-shields and workclothes protecting arms, legs and body be used. In addition any person visiting an area where this product is handled should at least wear safety glasses with side-shields.

EYE/FACE PROTECTION

When handling this product, the use of splash chemical goggles is recommended. The applicable European standard can be found in EN 166.

SKIN PROTECTION

When handling this product, the use of chemical gauntlets is recommended. The choice of work glove depends on work conditions and what chemicals are handled, but we have positive experience under light handling conditions using gloves made from PVC Gloves should be replaced immediately if signs of degradation are

observed. Breakthrough time not determined as preparation, consult PPE manufacturers. The applicable European standard can be found in EN 374.

When handling this product, the use of overalls is recommended. The applicable European standard can be found in EN ISO 20345.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION

No exposure limits have been assigned to this product or its components. Nalco recommend the use of a half face filter mask or air supplied breathing apparatus. A suitable filter material depends on the amount and type of chemicals being handled. Consider the use of filter type: A-P The applicable European standard can be found in EN 140, EN 137, EN 143 and EN 14387. In event of emergency or planned entry into unknown concentrations a positive pressure, full-facepiece SCBA should be used. If respiratory protection is required, institute a complete respiratory protection program including selection, fit testing, training, maintenance and inspection.

ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE CONTROLS

Consider the provision of containment around storage vessels.

Disposal considerations

Contact an approved waste hauler for disposal of contaminated recovered material. Any chemical waste is a potential environmental pollutant and is NOT suitable for disposal via ground, municipal sewers, drains, natural streams or rivers. Dispose of wastes in an approved incinerator or waste treatment/disposal site, in accordance with all applicable regulations. Do not dispose of wastes in local sewer or with normal garbage.

Empty drums should be taken for recycling, recovery, or disposal through a suitably qualified or licensed contractor.
