Administrative data
First-aid measures
Take off immediately all contaminated clothing.
Inhalation:
Move to fresh air. Oxygen or artificial respiration if needed. Keep under medical surveillance. In case of problems : Hospitalise.
Skin contact:
Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water. If significant contact: Keep under medical surveillance. Hospitalise.
Eye contact:
Wash immediately, abundantly and thoroughly with water. If irritation persists, consult an ophthalmologist.
Ingestion:
Do NOT induce vomiting. Hospitalise.
Protection of first-aiders:
In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Protective suit.
Fire-fighting measures
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:
Thermal decomposition giving flammable and toxic products:, Hydrogen sulphide, Sulphur oxides, Carbon oxides
Advice for firefighters:
Special protective actions for fire-fighters:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.
Accidental release measures
Avoid contact with skin and eyes and inhalation of vapours. Evacuate non-essential staff and those not equipped with individual protection
apparatus. Use personal protective equipment. In case of leak, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus.
Environmental precautions:
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:
Recovery:
Pump into a labelled inert emergency tank. Absorb the remainder with an inert absorbent material. Rinse with water. Recover waste water for
processing later.
Elimination:
Destroy the product by incineration (in accordance with local and national regulations).
Do not release into the environment. Do not let product enter drains. Dam up with sand or inert earth (do not use combustible materials).
Handling and storage

Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at machinery. Provide showers, eye-baths. Provide self-contained breathing apparatus nearby. Well
ventilate empty vats and tanks before entering.
Safe handling advice:
Keep container closed when not in use. Remove all sources of ignition. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment
Hygiene measures:
Avoid contact with the skin and the eyes. Avoid exposure to vapour. When using do not eat, drink or smoke.
Wash hands after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.
