Section 4. First-aid measures

Description of necessary first aid measures
Inhalation : Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.
If not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide
artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel. It may be dangerous to the
person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Get medical attention if
adverse health effects persist or are severe. If unconscious, place in recovery
position and get medical attention immediately. Maintain an open airway. Loosen
tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. In case of inhalation of
decomposition products in a fire, symptoms may be delayed. The exposed person
may need to be kept under medical surveillance for 48 hours.
Ingestion : Wash out mouth with water. Remove dentures if any. Remove victim to fresh air
and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If material has been
swallowed and the exposed person is conscious, give small quantities of water to
drink. Stop if the exposed person feels sick as vomiting may be dangerous. Do not
induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. If vomiting occurs,
the head should be kept low so that vomit does not enter the lungs. Get medical
attention if adverse health effects persist or are severe. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person. If unconscious, place in recovery position and get
medical attention immediately. Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing such
as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.
Skin contact : Flush contaminated skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and
shoes. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Wash clothing before reuse.
Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse.
Eye contact : Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower
eyelids. Check for and remove any contact lenses. Continue to rinse for at least 10
minutes. If irritation persists, get medical attention.
Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
Potential acute health effects
Inhalation : Exposure to decomposition products may cause a health hazard. Serious effects
may be delayed following exposure.
Ingestion : May be irritating to mouth, throat and stomach.

Special precautions for fire- : Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if
fighters there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without
suitable training.
Special protective : Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained
equipment for fire-fighters breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure
mode.
Remark : Not explosive

Section 6. Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, : No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.
protective equipment and Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from
emergency procedures entering. Do not touch or walk through spilt material. Provide adequate ventilation.
Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put on appropriate
personal protective equipment.
Environmental precautions Avoid dispersal of spilt material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains
and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental
pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air).
Methods and material for : Move containers from spill area. Avoid dust generation. Using a vacuum with
containment and cleaning HEPA filter will reduce dust dispersal. Place spilled material in a designated,
up labeled waste container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.
Move containers from spill area. Approach the release from upwind. Prevent entry
into sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas. Avoid dust generation.
Do not dry sweep. Vacuum dust with equipment fitted with a HEPA filter and place
in a closed, labeled waste container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal
contractor. Note: see Section 1 for emergency contact information and Section 13
for waste disposal.

Section 7. Handling and storage

Precautions for safe : Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is
handling handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before
eating, drinking and smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and protective
equipment before entering eating areas. See also Section 8 for additional
information on hygiene measures.
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Do not ingest.
Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Keep in the original container or an
approved alternative made from a compatible material, kept tightly closed when not
in use. Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous. Do not
reuse container.
Conditions for safe storage, : Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original container protected
including any from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible
incompatibilities materials (see Section 10) and food and drink. Keep container tightly closed and
sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully
resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabelled containers.
Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.

Section 8. Exposure controls/personal protection

Control parameters
Ingredient name Exposure limits

None.

Recommended monitoring : If this product contains ingredients with exposure limits, personal, workplace
procedures atmosphere or biological monitoring may be required to determine the effectiveness
of the ventilation or other control measures and/or the necessity to use respiratory
protective equipment. Reference should be made to appropriate monitoring
standards. Reference to national guidance documents for methods for the
determination of hazardous substances will also be required.
Appropriate engineering : No special ventilation requirements. Good general ventilation should be sufficient to
controls control worker exposure to airborne contaminants. If this product contains
ingredients with exposure limits, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or
other engineering controls to keep worker exposure below any recommended or
statutory limits.
Environmental exposure : Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure
controls they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some
cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process
equipment will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
Individual protection measures
Hygiene measures : Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before
eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period.
Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing.
Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and
safety showers are close to the workstation location.
Respiratory protection : Use a properly fitted, particulate filter respirator complying with an approved
standard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must
be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and
the safe working limits of the selected respirator. Recommended: Respiratory
protection, filter P1
Hand protection : Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should
be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates
this is necessary.
Material of gloves for long : butyl or neoprene.
term application
(BTT>480min):
(BTT = Break Through Time)
Use gloves approved to relevant standards e.g. EN 374 (Europe), F739 (US).
Suitability and durability of a glove is dependent on usage, e.g. frequency and
duration of contact, chemical resistance of glove material and dexterity. Always seek
advice from glove suppliers. Additional information can be found for instance at
www.gisbau.de.
Eye protection : Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk
assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists,
gases or dusts. If contact is possible, the following protection should be worn,
unless the assessment indicates a higher degree of protection: chemical splash
goggles. Recommended: tightly fitting safety goggles
Skin protection : Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task
being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist
before handling this product.
