First-aid measures

Description of first aid measures

General advice: Soiled, fairly soaked clothing and shoes must be removed.

In case of inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. Keep patient calm. Get medical attention.

In case of skin contact: Immediately wash thoroughly with soap and water. Seek medical attention.

In case of eye contact: Hold the eyes open and rinse with water for a sufficiently long period of time (at least 10 minutes). Get medical attention immediately.

In case of ingestion: DO NOT induce the patient to vomit, medical advice is required. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Provided the patient is conscious, wash out mouth with water.

Information to physician: No specific antidote known. Following severe exposure the patient should be kept under medical review for at least 48 hours.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

Effects of short-term exposure: Nausea, vomiting.

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure: Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin and eye irritation.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed: Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media: Foam, CO2 or dry powder. Water spray may be used if no other available and then in copious quantities.

Unsuitable extinguishing media: High volume water jet.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture: Carbon oxides (CO, CO2) nitrogen oxides (NO, NO2 etc.) hydrocarbons, aniline.

Advice for firefighters

Special protective equipment: Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode. Safety boots, gloves, safety helmet and protective clothing should be worn.

Further information: In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Fire in vicinity poses risk of pressure build-up and rupture. Containers at risk from fire should be cooled with water and, if possible, removed from the danger area. Extinguishing water may be toxic to aquatic organisms. Do not allow extinguishing media enter sewers and surface waters.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Immediately contact emergency personnel. Evacuate the area. Keep upwind to avoid inhalation of vapours. Clean-up should only be performed by trained personnel. Keep unauthorized persons away.

For non-emergency personnel: Remove not affected people. Inform the relevant authorities.

For emergency responders: People dealing with major spillages should wear full protective clothing including respiratory protection. Use suitable protective equipment.

Environmental precautions: Do not allow contaminated water to enter the soil, ground-water or surface waters. Avoid dispersal of spilt material and runoff and contact with drains and sewers.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Appropriate containment techniques: Ventilation.

Appropriate clean-up procedures: Absorb spillages onto sand, earth or any suitable adsorbent material. Do not absorb onto sawdust or other combustible materials. Shovel into drums for further decontamination. Wash the spillage area with water.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Protective measures: Provide sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms. In all workplaces or parts of the plant where high concentrations of aerosols and/or vapours may be generated, appropriately located exhaust ventilation must be provided in order to prevent occupational exposure limits from being exceeded. The air should be drawn away from the personnel handling the product. The efficiency of the ventilation system must be monitored regularly because of the possibility of blockage. Atmospheric concentrations should be minimised and kept as low as reasonably practicable below the occupational exposure limit.

Advice on general occupational hygiene: No eating, drinking, smoking or tobacco use at the place of work. Contact with skin and eyes and inhalation of vapours must be avoided under all circumstances. Keep equipment clean. A basic essential in sampling, handling and storage is the prevention of contact with water. Keep stocks of decontaminant readily available.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials and food and drink. Do not store in unlabelled containers. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.

Specific end use(s): Not applicable.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Significant routes of exposure:

Human exposure: oral.

Environmental exposure: air, soil.

Pattern of exposure: accidental/infrequent.

The recommended control strategies:

Employ good industrial hygiene practice.

Use local exhaust ventilation.

Enclose the process.

Seek the advice of a specialist.

Control parameters

Occupational Exposure Limit values: No data.

DNEL/PNEC-values: No data.

Exposure controls

Appropriate engineering controls: Provide suitable exhaust ventilation at the processing machines.

Personal protection equipment

Eye/Face protection: Closed safety glasses or face shield.

Skin protection

Hand protection: chemical resistant protective gloves.

Body protection: safety shoes and closed work clothing.

Respiratory protection: Breathing apparatus, full face mask respirator. Respirators type protection can be used in combination with an organic vapour filter type A.

General safety and hygiene measures: Do not breathe vapours/spray. Keep away from drink, food and animal feeding stuffs. No eating, drinking, smoking or tobacco use at the place of work. Hands and face should be washed before breaks and at the end of shift. At the end of the shift the skin should be cleaned and skin-care agents applied.

Environmental exposure controls: In accordance with local and national regulations.

Stability and reactivity

Reactivity: Reacts with strong oxidants.

Chemical stability: The product is stable at normal temperature. The substance decomposes on heating.

Possibility of hazardous reactions: No hazardous reactions when used as directed.

Conditions to avoid: High temperature, moisture, strong light.

Incompatible materials: Strong oxidants.

Hazardous decomposition products: No hazardous decomposition products if stored and handled as prescribed/indicated.

Disposal considerations

Waste treatment methods: The products becoming useless and the contaminated containers not suitable for product storage must be handled as hazardous waste in accordance with EU and regional hazardous waste regulations.

Product / Packaging disposal: Contaminated packaging should be emptied as far as possible; than it can be passed on for recycling after being thoroughly cleaned. Wrappings cleaned from contamination with suitable cleaning process (e.g. by steaming, treating with washing fluid, etc.) must be considered as non hazardous waste.

Waste treatment options: Incinerate in suitable incineration plant, observing local authority regulations.
