Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

DESCRIPTION OF FIRST AID MEASURES

Inhalation:

If inhaled, remove to fresh air. Rinse nose and mouth with water. Seek medical attention if symptoms occur.

Skin contact:

Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin with soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if symptoms occur and persist.

Eye contact:

Immediately rinse eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Seek medical attention if symptoms occur and persist.

Ingestion:

If swallowed, wash out mouth with water and give a few glasses of water to drink. Seek medical attention.  

MOST IMPORTANT SYMPTOMS AND EFFECTS, BOTH ACUTE AND DELAYED

To the best of our knowledge the toxicity of this substance has not been fully investigated, thus symptoms and effects are not fully known. No acute effects are expected. Irritation effects such as skin and eye irritation and irritating to upper respiratory tract through prolonged or repeated exposure may occur.

INDICATION OF ANY IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION AND SPECIAL TREATMENT NEEDED

Treat symptomatically and supportively.

Fire-fighting measures

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA

• Suitable extinguishing media:

Use water spray, foam, dry powder or carbon dioxide as appropriate for surrounding fire and materials.

• Unsuitable extinguishing media:

No limitations given for this substance.

SPECIAL HAZARDS ARISING FROM THE SUBSTANCE OR MIXTURE

Combustible, but not flammable. In case of fire toxic fumes of carbon monoxide (CO) may be emitted.

ADVICE FOR FIREFIGHTERS

In case of fire in the surroundings: use the appropriate extinguishing agent. Wear full protective clothing and an approved, positive pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus. Decontaminate all equipment after use.

Prevent fire extinguishing water from contaminating the surface water or ground water.

Accidental release measures

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS, PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

Use recommended personal protective equipment, including respiratory protection equipment, during removal of spillages.

ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS

Prevent spillage from contaminating surface water or ground water.

METHODS AND MATERIAL FOR CONTAINMENT AND CLEANING UP

A small spill may be handled with disposable cloth and placed in container for chemical waste. A larger spill should be soaked up with inert absorbent material and disposed as chemical waste. Keep in suitable, closed containers. Ventilate area and wash spill site with water after material pick up is complete.

Handling and storage

PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING

Avoid inhalation of vapors. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Ensure good ventilation. Eye-wash facilities should be available. Care should be taken to avoid the material entering water courses.

CONDITIONS FOR SAFE STORAGE, INCLUDING ANY INCOMPATIBILITIES

Keep container/package tightly closed at normal room conditions, generally +15 to 25°C.

Exposure controls / personal protection

CONTROL PARAMETERS

To the best of our knowledge, established occupational exposure limit value is not available.

EXPOSURE CONTROL

Appropriate engineering controls:

Use appropriate controls (e.g. containment, local exhaust ventilation) as specified in a workplace risk assessment. Technical measures and appropriate operations should be given priority over the use of personal equipment. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Use local exhaust and/or enclosure at dust-generating points.

Personal protective equipment:

- Eye face protection: Use safety glasses with side shields. An emergency eyewash station should be available.

- Skin protection: Handle with gloves.

- Protective clothing: Use protective clothing to prevent skin contact. The type should be selected according to concentrations, quantities and duration of handling at the specific workplace.

- Respiratory protection: Required when vapours/mists are generated. Choice of respiratory protection should be appropriate to the task and level of existing engineering controls. Use an air-purifying respirator with combination filter if there is any potential for an uncontrolled release. Use fume hoods or laminar flow booth in laboratory scale.

Environmental exposure controls:       

Avoid release to the environment. In case of spill, do not release to drains.

Stability and reactivity

REACTIVITY

No known reactivity hazards under normal conditions.

CHEMICAL STABILITY

The substance is chemically stable at standard ambient conditions, generally 15 to 25°C.

POSSIBILITY OF HAZARDOUS REACTIONS AND CONDITIONS TO AVOID

None known.

INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS

Oxidizing agents.

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS

Carbon monoxide (CO).

Disposal considerations

WASTE TREATMENT METHODS

Dispose waste at authorized plant, in accordance with Directive 2008/98/EC and/or applicable local and national legislation.

INFORMATION ON RECYCLING AND METHODS OF DISPOSAL FOR INDUSTRY

Used product should be disposed according to local, state, federal and national regulations. Do not send down the drain. All wastes containing the material should be properly labeled. Dispose wastes in accordance to prescribed national, federal, state and local guidelines, e.g. appropriately permitted chemical waste incinerator.
