4. First-aid measures

Inhalation Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Call a physician

or poison control center immediately.

Skin contact Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/shower. Chemical burns

must be treated by a physician. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. For minor

skin contact, avoid spreading material on unaffected skin.

Eye contact Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if

present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Call a physician or poison control center immediately.

Ingestion Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Rinse mouth. Do not induce vomiting. If

vomiting occurs, keep head low so that stomach content doesn't get into the lungs.

Most important

symptoms/effects, acute and

delayed

Corrosive effects. May cause temporary blindness and severe eye damage. Symptoms may

include stinging, tearing, redness, swelling, and blurred vision.

Indication of immediate

medical attention and special

treatment needed

Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically. In case of shortness of breath,

give oxygen. Keep victim warm. Keep victim under observation. Symptoms may be delayed.

General information Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to

protect themselves. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.

5. Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media Water fog. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2).

Unsuitable extinguishing

media

Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.

Specific hazards arising from

the chemical

During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed.

Special protective equipment

and precautions for firefighters

Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.

6. Accidental release measures

Personal precautions,

protective equipment and

emergency procedures

Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Keep out of

low areas. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Do not touch damaged containers or

spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ensure adequate ventilation. Local

authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. For personal protection,

see section 8 of the MSDS.

Methods and materials for

containment and cleaning up

Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is

possible. Cover with plastic sheet to prevent spreading. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth

and place into containers. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas.

Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to

remove residual contamination. Following product recovery, flush area with water.

Never return spills in original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the

MSDS.

Environmental precautions Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.

7. Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling Do not breathe mist or vapor. Do not get this material in contact with eyes. Do not get this material

in contact with skin. Avoid prolonged exposure. Do not get this material on clothing. Provide

adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Observe good industrial

hygiene practices. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.

Conditions for safe storage,

including any incompatibilities

Store locked up. Keep container tightly closed. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.

Appropriate engineering

controls

Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates

should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation,

or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If

exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Provide

eyewash station.

Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment

Eye/face protection Wear eye/face protection. Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).

Skin protection

Hand protection Wear protective gloves.

Other Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing. It may provide little or no thermal protection.

Respiratory protection When workers are facing concentrations above the exposure limit they must use appropriate

certified respirators.

Thermal hazards Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary.

General hygiene

considerations

When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Do not get this material on clothing. Always observe good

personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and before eating,
