Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with copious quantities of water for at least 15 minutes holding lids apart to ensure flushing of the entire surface. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.

Skin: Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated clothes and shoes. Seek medical attention if irritation persists. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse.

Inhalation: If breathed in, remove from exposure and move the person to fresh air. If symptoms persist, call a physician.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing Media: Foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Water can be used to cool and protect exposed material. Not combustible.

Fire Fighting Equipment/Instructions: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.

Treat as an oil fire. Water may cause splattering.

Accidental release measures

Containment Procedures: Prevent entry into sewers and waterways.

Clean-up Procedures: Pick up free liquid for recycle and/or disposal. Residual liquid can be absorbed on inert material.

Special Procedures: Personal protective equipment must be worn. Ventilate area if spilled in a confined space or other poorly ventilated area.

Handling and storage

Disposal considerations

Waste should only be disposed of via a licensed waste contractor. The European Waste Catalogue (EWC) and European Waste List

(EWL) is a harmonized list of wastes. Waste materials should be classified prior to final disposal with EWC-codes. Wastes and empty containers should be treated based on their classification and properties referring to local and national waste management regulations. Waste management options: Dispose of to non-hazardous or hazardous waste landfill (Council Directive on the landfill of waste 99/31/EU and Council Decision establishing criteria and procedures for the acceptance of waste at landfills 2003/33/EU) or dispose of via hazardous waste incineration.

The generation of waste should be avoided or minimized wherever possible. Dispose of surplus and non-recyclable products via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Disposal of this product, solutions and any by-products should at all times comply with the requirements of environmental protection and waste legislation and any local waste management regulations.

Waste codes should be assigned by the user, preferably in discussion with the waste disposal authorities. All wastes containing residues of the substance or its hazardous degradation products shall be classified as hazardous waste.

All wastes containing residues of the substance or its hazardous degradation products should be disposed of as hazardous waste to authorized hazardous waste incineration plants, operated according to Directive 2008/98/EC on waste, Directive 2000/76/EC on the incineration of waste and Best Available Techniques for Waste Incineration as described in the respective BREF of August 2006.

Contaminated packaging: Contaminated packaging should be emptied as far as possible and disposed of as hazardous waste to

incineration plants in accordance with Directive 2000/76/EC. Clean packaging material should be subjected to waste management schemes (recovery, recycling, re-use) according to local waste management regulations.

The substance and its container must be disposed of in a safe way. Care should be taken when handling emptied containers that have not been cleaned or rinsed out. Empty containers or liners may retain some product residues. Avoid dispersal of spilt material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers.
