First-aid measures

Ingestion:
If swallowed, wash out mouth thoroughly and give water to drink. Seek immediate medical attention if significant amounts (e.g. more than a teaspoon) are ingested, or for any symptoms occurring after ingestion. Do not induce vomiting, unless instructed by medical personnel.

Skin contact:
Remove contaminated clothing and wash affected area with soap and water. If irritation occurs, or contamination is severe, seek medical attention. Launder contaminated clothing before re-use.

Eye contact:
Rinse cautiously with water for 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Get medical advice/attention if irritation occurs.

Inhalation:
Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Get medical advice/attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Small Fire:
Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, carbonic anhydride or dry sand are suitable for initial fire extinction.

Large Fire:
Carbon dioxide, dry chemical, foam and sand are compatible with the product. Remove containers from fire and keep cool with water spray.

Avoid:
None known.

Accidental release measures

For non-emergency personnel:
For large-scale spills, ensure full personal protection is worn. Keep unauthorised personnel from spillage area.

For emergency responders:
For large-scale spills, ensure full personal protection is worn. Keep unauthorised personnel from spillage area.

Environmental precautions:
Do not allow to enter drains, watercourses etc. Avoid release to the environment. Contact authorities, water company and waste-water treatment plant as appropriate if significant contamination occurs.

For containment:
Absorb small quantities with sand, earth or absorbent material. Prevent to outflow large quantities by bund. Stop leak if safe to do so.

For cleaning up:
Collect in closed containers, and then dispose it later. Use clean and non-sparking tool equipment. Lead to safety area, and collect.

Other information:
Earth all equipment. Use the vapour control foam to decrease vapour concentration. Remove all ignition sources (avoid smoking, naked lights or flames). Prevent inflow at drain, sewer, basement or closing place.

Handling and storage

Precautions for Safe Handling:
Avoid contact with skin and eyes, and inhalation of vapours. Wear protective clothing. Wash hands after handling.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
Keep only in the original container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight. Keep container closed when not in use.

Specific end uses:
Protect containers against physical damage. Avoid contact with skin, inhalation of vapours and swallow. Avoid contact with eyes. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling. Use in a well-ventilated area or outdoors. Do not eat, drink or smoke when handling. Avoid release to the environment. Prevent handling incompatible substance or mixtures.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Engineering controls:
Ensure that Local Exhaust Ventilation is in effect, whenever possible. The rate of air exchange should be a minimum of 15 air changes per hour. Install eye wash station and safety shower near workplace. First aid facilities: Safety shower, hand and eye washing facilities are recommended for the workplace.

Personal protective equipment:
Wherever the substance is available for exposure, the following PPE should be utilised
Respirator: EN149 as minimum standard, if vapours are likely to be produced.
Gloves: EN374 as minimum standard.
Eye protection: EN166 as minimum standard, eye protection should be safety goggles providing side splash protection.
Protective clothing: EN368 as minimum standard.

Environmental exposure controls:
Do not release the substance or waste water to drains. Collect spillage. Dispose of contents/container in accordance with local, regional and/or national guidelines.

Stability and reactivity

Reactivity:
Reactive with oxidising materials, reducing agents, acids and bases.

Chemical stability:
Stable under recommended storage and handling conditions. No hazardous polymerisation.

Possibility of hazardous reactions:
No hazardous reactions anticipated under recommended storage and handling conditions.

Conditions to Avoid:
Avoid strong heat, sunlight and freezing.

Incompatible materials:
Oxidising agents, reducing agents, acids and bases.

Hazardous decomposition products:
Hydrolyses slowly in acid or base generating harmful phenol. May decompose at high temperatures to phosphorus oxide and carbon dioxide.

Disposal considerations

Waste treatment methods:
This product should not be disposed of via the drains or by landfill. Incineration is the recommended method of disposal. All disposal must be in accordance with current national and local regulations. Chemical residues generally count as special waste, and their disposal may be regulated in the EC member countries through corresponding laws and regulations. Contact the authorities or approved waste disposal companies for advice on how to dispose of special waste.
General EU requirements are given in the Waste Framework Directive (75/442/EEC) and the Hazardous Waste Directive (91/689/EEC).
Packaging may contain residues of the product and should be treated accordingly.
