Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Symptomatic treatment. Seek immediate

medical attention.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Flush immediately with plenty of water for at least 15

minutes. Seek immediate medical attention.

Emergency measure - Skin: Wash with soap and plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.

Seek medical attention.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Seek immediate medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Carbon dioxide, foam, dry powder.

Do not use water.

Product arising from burning: The substance is combustible and will burn if involved in a

fire, evolving noxious fumes (eg carbon and nitrogen

oxides).

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing

apparatus must be worn.

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 with a suitable inert material (eg. sand or

soil). Carefully transfer the spillage to waste containers,

or use a sealed industrial vacuum machine. Containers filled

with waste material must be labelled in the same way as the

original substance containers.

Clean the spillage area with detergent.

Dispose of waste material in accordance with local

regulations by landfill or incineration.

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 prEN374

Chemical protective clothing to Standard EN368

Eye protection to Standard prEN166.

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 an  organic

vapour mask conforming to EN405 FFA1.

These measures should be regarded as a minimum.

Storage: Store in a dry, cool, well-ventilated place, away from

sources of ignition.

Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: Drum

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Discharge to the environment will be minimal. 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 notification tests have shown that the substance is

harmful by acute oral exposure. It is also assumed to be

corrosive and a severe eye irritant. No chemical treatment

is practicable to neutralise these hazardous health

properties.

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

nitrogen oxides) could be formed.

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

the sewage system or the aqueous environment. However,

adverse effects  on sewage treatment systems would be

unlikely.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Not applicable as the substance will not be made available

to the public.

Public at large - Possibility of neutralisation: 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.
