Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Description of first aid measures

- General advice:

First aider needs to protect himself. Move out of dangerous area. Show the safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.

- Following inhalation:

Move to fresh air.

- Following skin contact: Take off all contaminated clothing immediately. Wash off with: Polyethylene glycol 400. Get medical attention immediately.

Most important symptoms and effects:

- Risks: Causes skin irritation. Causes serious eye damage.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

- Suitable extinguishing media:

Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment. Dry powder. Alcohol-resistant foam. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Dry sand.

- Unsuitable extinguishing media:

Do NOT use water jet.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

- Specific hazards during fire fighting:

Exposure to decomposition products may be hazard to health.

- Hazardous combustion products: Carbon oxides, Sulphur oxides, Nitrogen oxides (NOx)

Advice for fire fighter

- Special protective equipment for fire fighters: In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Use personal equipment.

- Further information: Use a water spray to cool fully closed containers. Prevent fire extinguishing water from contaminating surface water or the ground water system.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

- Personal precautions:

Follow safe handling advice and personal protective equipment recommendations. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas.

Environmental precautions

- Environmental precautions: Do not allow contact with soil, surface or ground water. Do not let product enter drains.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:

- Methods for cleaning up: Contain spillage, soak up with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and transfer to a container for disposal according to local / national regulations. Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container for disposal.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling:

Exposure controls / personal protection

Exposure controls

- Engineering measures: Provide sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms.

Personal protective equipment

- Eye protection: Safety glasses with side-shields

- Hand protection: Before removing gloves clean them with soap and water. Gloves should be discarded and replaced if there is any indication of degradation or chemical breakthrough. Please observe the instructions regarding permeability and breakthrough time which are provided by the supplier of the gloves.
