Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
GENERAL ADVICE
Move out of dangerous area.
Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
Do not leave the victim unattended.
IF INHALED
If unconscious place in recovery position and seek medical advice.
If symptoms persist, call a physician.
IN CASE OF SKIN CONTACT
If on skin, rinse well with water.
IN CASE OF EYE CONTACT
Flush eyes with water as a precaution.
Remove contact lenses.
Protect unharmed eye.
Keep eye wide open while rinsing.
If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.
IF SWALLOWED
Keep respiratory tract clear.
Do not give milk or alcoholic beverages.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
If symptoms persist, call a physician.
Fire-fighting measures
SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Dry chemical
Alcohol-resistant foam
Carbon dioxide (COâ‚‚)
Water spray
UNSUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
High volume water jet
SPECIFIC HAZARDS DURING FIREFIGHTING
Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.
ADVICE FOR FIREFIGHTERS
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: Wear self contained breathing apparatus for fire fighting if necessary.
Further information:Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This must not be discharged into drains.
Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
Accidental release measures
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
Use personal protective equipment (PPE)
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
Prevent product from entering drains.
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.
METHODS FOR CLEANING UP
Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust).
Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.
Handling and storage
ADVICE ON SAFE HANDLING
Do not breathe vapours/dust.
Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
For personal protection see section 8.
Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in the application area.
Dispose of rinse water in accordance with local and national regulations.
ADVICE ON PROTECTION AGAINST FIRE AND EXPLOSION
Normal measures for preventive fire protection
REQUIREMENTS FOR STORAGE AREAS AND CONTAINERS
Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.
Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.
Electrical installations / working materials must comply with the technological safety standards

Exposure controls / personal protection
Contains no substances with occupational exposure limit values.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Hand protection: Use gloves when handling substance in open systems.
Inspect gloves prior to use. Train operators for proper use.If only incidental exposure is expected: (work without direct contact to substance) use gloves tested according EN 16523-1/ASTM F739 or equivalent local standard breakthrough times at least 10 minutes, tested for chemicals indicated in chapter 3 of the SDS. Change gloves frequently.
If direct skin contact is expected: use gloves tested according to EN 16523-1/ASTM F739 or equivalent local standard, tested for chemicals indicated in chapter 3 of the SDS.
Permeation time must exceed contact time.
The aforementioned norms list different possible materials and thickness for the gloves to be used (e.g. nitrile gloves).
Eye protection: Eye wash bottle with pure water.
Use safety goggles and faceshield tested according to EN 166/ ANSI Z87.1 or equivalent local standard.
Skin and body protection: Wear working clothes covering arms and legs. The type of protective equipment must be selected according
to the concentration and amount of the hazardous substance at the specific workplace. Use apron and sleeve covers or complete chemical suit if exposure is expected. Equipment should conform to ISO 16602 /EN 13034-6 Typ PB[6].
Respiratory protection: Respiratory protection should be worn when workplace exposures exceed exposure limit requirements or guidelines.
If there are no applicable exposure limits or guidelines, use an approved respirator where there is a potential for adverse effects, including but not limited to respiratory irritation or odor, or where indicated by the exposure assessment. Selection of air-purifying or positive-pressure supplied-air will depend on the results of the exposure assessment which includes an evaluation of the specific operations and the potential airborne concentrations. For emergency conditions, use an approved positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus.
In case a risk analysis proved the cartridge respirator as acceptable, use type: ABEK-P3 (EN 14387) OR Combination Multi-gas/P100
(42CFR84.193; ANSI Z88.7 or equivalent local standard) as a backup to engineering controls.
In absence of engineering controls, use self-contained breathing apparatus or full face supplied air respirators.
Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as CEN (EU) or NIOSH 42 CFR 84(US).
Hygiene measures: Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.
Do not eat, drink or smoke during work.
Wash hands any time after handling the product.
ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE CONTROLS
Prevent product from entering drains.
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.
Stability and reactivity
Disposal considerations
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
