Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

If inhaled: Move to fresh air. In case of irritation of respiratory system or mucous membranes,
seek medical attention. In case of indisposition, seek medical attention. In case of prolonged
exposure, seek medical attention.
On skin contact: Wipe with absorbent paper or textile towels. Wash off with soap and plenty
of water. Do not use organic solvents. In case of dermatitis, seek medical attention.
On contact with eyes: Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. In case
of eye irritation, seek medical attention.
If swallowed: Immediately give plenty (> 500 ml) of water (if possible charcoal slurry). In
case of spontaneous vomiting be sure that vomits can freely drain due of danger of
suffocation. Give water repeatedly. Artificial induction of vomiting should be restricted to
first aid staff. Give nothing by mouth in cases of unconsciousness or convulsion. Seek medical advice.

Fire-fighting measures

General information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a
fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or
combustion.
Suitable extinguishing media: Water spray, foam, carbon dioxide (C02), dry powder
Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons: High volume water jet
Exposure hazards: Contaminated water from fire hoses or sprinklers, etc., must be prevented
from draining into watercourses, sewers, or the ground water. Sufficient measures must be
taken to retain water used for extinguishing. Contaminated water and soil must be disposed of
in conformity with local regulations..
Special protective equipment for firefighters: Wear full protective clothing. Wear
self-contained breathing apparatus
Hazardous decomposition products: Oxides of carbon, toxic gases and vapors.

Accidental release measures

Ensure adequate ventilation.
Personal precautions: Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.
Environmental precautions: Do not flush into surface water, sanitary sewer or ground water
system.
Methods for cleaning up: Soak up with inert absorbent materials e.g. sand, silica gel,
universal binder, and sawdust. Collect the spilled product into suitable containers, which must
be tightly sealed and properly labeled.

Handling and storage

Handling:
May be dangerous for the environment. Handle and open containers with care. Avoid vapor
formation and ignition sources. Ensure good local exhaust ventilation. Do not eat, drink or
smoke at the workplace.
Storage: Keep away from food and drink. Store in the original container securely closed.
This product can form an ignitable vapor and air mixture. Take precautionary measures
against static discharges.
Protect from light. Close containers immediately after use.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Engineering controls: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an
eyes wash facility and a safety shower. Establish and use adequate ventilation to keep
airborne concentrations low within their exposure limits
Exposure limit values related to the work environment: not tested
Technical measures/Precautions: No special precautions required.
Personal protective equipments:
Eyes protection: Suitable goggles or face protection
Hand protection: Protective gloves
Skin/body protection: Wear normal work protective coveralls and closed footwear. Launder
contaminated clothing before reuse.
Respiratory protection: In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory
equipment
Personal hygiene: When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Keep away from food, drink and
animal feeding stuffs. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.

Stability and reactivity

Decomposition temperature: >350°C
Stability: Stable when stored at room temperature in closed, original container. Stable under
normal conditions of use, handling, storage and transport.
Conditions to avoid: Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Avoid exposure to heat and humidity. Do not double stack. Avoid static discharges.
Materials to avoid: Strong acids, strong bases, and strong oxidizing agents
Hazardous decomposition products: Thermal decomposition and burning will produce
toxic fume and gases, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide., etc.

Disposal considerations

Waste disposal method:
Incinerate in a chemical incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber. Review all
local, state and federal regulations concerning health and pollution for appropriate disposable
procedure.
Contaminated packaging:
Contaminated packaging material should be treated equivalent to residual chemical. Clean
packaging material should be subjected to waste management schemes according to local,
state and federal regulations.
