Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

FIRST AID - EYE CONTACT:

Flush eyes immediately with large amount of water for at least 15 minutes holding eyelids open while flushing. Get prompt medical attention.

FIRST AID - SKIN CONTACT:

Flush contaminated skin with large amounts of water while removing contaminated clothing. Wash affected skin areas with soap and water. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

FIRST AID - INHALATION:

Move person to fresh air. Restore and support continued breathing. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get immediate medical attention.

FIRST AID - INGESTION:

If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Call a physician or poison control center immediately for further instructions. Never give anything by mouth if victim is rapidly losing consciousness, unconscious or convulsing.

Fire-fighting measures

SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:

Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical, Foam

SPECIFIC HAZARDS POSSIBLY ARISING FROM THE CHEMICAL:

Keep containers tightly closed. Closed containers may rupture when exposed to extreme heat. Use water spray to keep fire exposed containers cool. During a fire, irritating and/or toxic gases and particulate may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.

SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND PRECAUTIONS FOR FIRE-FIGHTERS:

Wear full firefighting protective clothing, including self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). If water is used, fog nozzles are preferable.

Accidental release measures

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS, PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT, AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES:

Avoid contact. Avoid breathing vapors. Use self-contained breathing equipment.

ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS:

Do not contaminate bodies of water, waterways, or ditches, with chemical or used container.

METHODS AND MATERIALS FOR CONTAINMENT AND CLEANUP:

Keep non-essential personnel a safe distance away from the spill area. Notify appropriate authorities if necessary. Avoid contact. Before attempting cleanup, refer to hazard caution information in other sections of the SDS form. Scoop spilled material into an appropriate container for proper disposal. (If necessary, use inert absorbent material to aid in containing the spill).

Exposure controls / personal protection

Appropriate engineering controls:

Provide adequate general and local exhaust ventilation. Observe any occupational exposure limits for the product or ingredients.

Eye/face protection

Use approved safety glasses with side shields. Eyewear complying with an approved standard should be worn if a risk assessment indicates eye contact is possible. The following protection should be worn: Chemical splash goggles or face shield.

Hand protection

Wear protective gloves made of the following material: Neoprene. Nitrile rubber. Butyl rubber. The most suitable glove should be chosen in consultation with the glove supplier/manufacturer, who can provide information about the breakthrough time of the glove material.

Other skin and body protection

Disposal considerations

General information

When handling waste, the safety precautions applying to handling of the product should be considered. Do not dump into any sewers, on the ground, or into any body of water. Not be to be disposed of together with household waste. Any disposal practice must be in compliance with all local and national laws and regulations. Handle and dispose contaminated packages in the same way as the product itself. Fully cured product residues are generally not regarded as hazardous waste.

Disposal methods

The product as supplied should be disposed of as hazardous waste according to European Directive 91/689/EEC.

Waste class

The waste code number applies to actual wastes depending on its origin and not to substances or mixtures as placed on the market. Only the practical application of the user enables the proper allocation. Allocation of the waste code number according to the European Waste Catalogue (Commission Decision 2000/532/EC and 2001/118/EC) should be carried out in agreement with the regional waste disposal company and/or the supervisory authority.
