Administrative data
First-aid measures
Remove to fresh air immediately. Get medical attention immediately. Show this material safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. If symptoms persist, call a physician. Personal protective equipment for first aid responders is recommended.
Eye Contact:
Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses. Obtain medical attention. Continue rinsing eyes during transport to hospital
Skin Contact:
Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated clothes and shoes. Consult a physician. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse
Inhalation:
P340 - Remove to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Symptoms may be delayed. Immediate medical attention is required.
Ingestion:
rinse mouth. Clean mouth with water and afterwards drink plenty of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Do not induce vomiting. If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show this container or label.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed:
• H314 - Causes severe skin burns and eye damage
• May cause harm to the unborn child
• Harmful if swallowed
• H312 - Harmful in contact with skin
• Smallest quantities reaching the lungs through swallowing or subsequent vomiting may result in lung edema or pneumonia
• May cause adverse kidney effects
• May cause adverse liver effects
• Corrosive to the eyes and may cause severe damage including blindness
• Exposure may result in reddening, tears and itching of the eyes and soreness in the nose and throat, together with coughing
• Inhalation of vapors is irritating to the respiratory system, may cause throat pain and cough
• Shortness of breath
• Suffocation
• Lung edema
• Pneumonia
• Dermal absorption possible
• nausea
• Diarrhea
• Vomiting
• Abdominal pain
• Delayed effects can be expected and will be enforced by physical efforts
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed:
• Consult a physician
Fire-fighting measures
• Alcohol-resistant foam
• dry chemical
• carbon dioxide (CO2)
• water spray
Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons:
• high volume water jet
Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical:
Specific hazards
• Combustible material
• Vapors may form explosive mixture with air
• Vapors are heavier than air and may spread along floors
• Heating or fire can release toxic gas (Nitrogen oxides (NOx), Carbon monoxide)
Specific methods:
• Cool containers / tanks with water spray
• Keep product and empty container away from heat and sources of ignition
• Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system
• Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This must not be discharged into drains
Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters:
Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus
Accidental release measures
• Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing
• Evacuate personnel to safe areas
• Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak
• Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit
• Rubber gloves
Environmental precautions:
• Should not be released into the environment
• Remove immediately adhering matter
• Prevent product from entering drains
• Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:
• Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit
• Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. dry sand or earth), then place in a chemical waste container
• Neutralize with hydrochloric or sulfuric acids
Handling and storage
• Take necessary action to avoid static electricity discharge (which might cause ignition of organic vapours)
• Use only in area provided with appropriate exhaust ventilation
• Wear personal protective equipment
• Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product
• Wash hands after handling
• Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas
• Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location
• Avoid breathing vapors or mists
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
• In accordance with local and national regulations
• Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition
• Keep container tightly closed
• Keep in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place
• Incompatible with strong acids and oxidizing agents
