Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
Skin Contact: Wash off with plenty of water and soap.
Eye contact: Possible discomfort is due to foreign substance effect. Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water keeping eyelid open. In case of persistent discomfort: Consult an ophthalmologist.
Ingestion: Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water. After absorbing large amounts of substance / In case of discomfort: Supply with medical care.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed: None known
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed Hazards: None known.
Treatment: No hazards which require special first aid measures.
Fire-fighting measures
Unsuitable extinguishing media: Do not use full-force water jet in order to avoid dispersal and spread of the fire.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture: None known.
Advice for firefighters Special fire fighting procedures: Water used to extinguish fire should not enter drainage systems, soil or stretches of water. Ensure there are sufficient retaining facilities for water used to extinguish fire. Fire residues and contaminated fire exting
Accidental release measures
For non-emergency personnel: No data available.
For emergency responders: No data available.
Environmental Precautions: Do not allow entrance in sewage water, soil stretches of water, groundwater, drainage systems.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container for disposal.
Reference to other sections: Wear personal protective equipment

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.
