Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

1) Description of first aid measures

General advice: Consult a physician. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.

If inhaled: If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Consult a physician.

In case of skin contact: Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a physician.

In case of eye contact: Flush eyes with water as a precaution.

If swallowed: Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth with

water. Consult a physician.

2) Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

To the best of our knowledge, the chemical, physical, and toxicological properties have not been

thoroughly investigated.

Fire-fighting measures

1) Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media: For small (incipient) fires, use media such as "alcohol" foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide.

For large fires, apply water from as far as possible.

Use very large quantities (flooding) of water applied as a mist or spray; solid streams of water may be ineffective.

Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water.

2) Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Carbon oxides, Hydrogen chloride gas

3) Advice for firefighters

Wear self contained breathing apparatus for fire fighting if necessary.

4) Further information

Use water spray to cool unopened containers.

Accidental release measures

1) Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Avoid breathing vapors, mist or gas.

Ensure adequate ventilation.

Remove all sources of ignition.

Evacuate personnel to safe areas.

Beware of vapours accumulating to form explosive concentrations.

Vapours can accumulate in low areas.

2) Environmental precautions

Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.

Do not let product enter drains.

3) Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up

Contain spillage, and then collect with an electrically protected vacuum cleaner or by wet-brushing and

place in container for disposal according to local regulations (see "disposal considerations").

4) Reference to other sections

For disposal see "disposal considerations".

Handling and storage

1) Precautions for safe handling

Avoid inhalation of vapour or mist.

Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.

Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge.

2) Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Store in cool place.

Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.

Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.

Exposure controls / personal protection

1) Control parameters

Components with workplace control parameters

2) Exposure controls

Appropriate engineering controls

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.

Personal protective equipment

Eye/face protection

Face shield and safety glasses Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).

Skin protection

Handle with gloves.

Gloves must be inspected prior to use.

Use proper glove removal technique (without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product.

Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices.

Wash and dry hands.

The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.

Body Protection

Impervious clothing, Flame retardant antistatic protective clothing

The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.

Respiratory protection

Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face respirator with multi-purpose combination (US)

or type AXBEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls.

If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator.

Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
