Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If breathing but unconscious, place in

the recovery position. If breathing has stopped, apply

artificial respiration. If heartbeat absent give external

cardiac compression. Monitor breathing and pulse. Obtain

medical attention immediately.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Flush eye with water. If irritation occurs, obtain medical

attention.

Emergency measure - Skin: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin with water using

soap if available. Obtain medical attention if irritation

occurs.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Obtain medical attention immediately.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Foam, water spray or fog. Dry chemical powder, carbon

dioxide, sand or earth may be used for small fires only.

Product arising from burning: Oxides of Carbon

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing

apparatus must be worn.

Fight the fire from a safe distance or protected location.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Evacuate personnel from immediate vicinity.

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment conforming to

the relevant national or international standards.

Absorb spillages of solutions with a suitable inert material

(eg. sand or soil). Carefully transfer the spillage to

waste containers. Containers filled with waste material must

be labelled in the same way as the original substance

containers.

For large spills, dike spilled material or otherwise contain

the material to ensure run-off does not reach a waterway.

Handling and storage

Handling: The substance should be stored, handled and used under

conditions of good industrial hygiene and in conformity with

any local regulations in order to avoid exposure.

Engineering controls are necessary to reduce exposure to the

substance.

When exposure cannot be prevented or adequately controlled

appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn.

Such protective equipment should conform to the appropriate

international or national standards as follows;

Chemical protective gloves to Standard EN374

Chemical protective clothing to Standard EN368

Eye protection to Standard EN166.

Furthermore, when respiratory protective equipment has to be

used, it must be capable of adequately controlling

exposure, be suitable for the purpose, and conform to the

appropriate international or national standards, such as a

powered air respirator conforming to EN12941.

These measures should be regarded as a minimum.

Storage: Store tanks away from heat and other sources of ignition. Do

not store in unsuitable, unlabelled or incorrectly labelled

containers.

Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, well-ventilated

place away from direct sunlight and other sources of heat

and ignition.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: The substance will be imported in bulk tankers.

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Recovery from minor spillages or accidental discharge is not

economically or technically feasible, and such waste

material will be disposed of by incineration or landfill. In

principle, it may be possible to recover larger

spillages of uncontaminated material for subsequent use.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: The substance is harmful and flammable. No chemical

treatment is practicable to neutralise the hazardous

properties.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Contaminated containers or spillages of solutions mixed

with inert material (eg. sand or soil) may be disposed of by

landfill at an authorised tip in accordance with local

regulations.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: The substance can be disposed of by incineration by burning

under controlled conditions at a licensed waste treatment

processor in accordance with local regulations. Stack gases

should be scrubbed, because noxious fumes (eg. carbon

oxides) could be formed.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance should not normally be discharged directly

tothe sewage system or the aqueous environment. However,

adverse effects on sewage treatment systems would be

unlikely.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: None.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - others: None.
