Section 4. First aid measures
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.
Skin contact : Get medical attention immediately. Call a poison center or physician. Wash with plenty
of soap and water. Wash contaminated clothing thoroughly with water before removing
it, or wear gloves. Continue to rinse for at least 20 minutes. Chemical burns must be
treated promptly by a physician. Wash clothing before reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly
before reuse.
Ingestion : Get medical attention immediately. Call a poison center or physician. 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. Aspiration hazard if swallowed. Can enter
lungs and cause damage. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, the head should
be kept low so that vomit does not enter the lungs. Chemical burns must be treated

Section 5. Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing : Use dry chemical, CO2, water spray (fog) or foam.
media
Unsuitable extinguishing : Do not use water jet or water-based fire extinguishers.
media
Specific hazards arising : Flammable liquid and vapor. In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and
from the chemical the container may burst, with the risk of a subsequent explosion. Runoff to sewer may
create fire or explosion hazard. This material is toxic to aquatic life with long lasting
effects. Fire water contaminated with this material must be contained and prevented
from being discharged to any waterway, sewer or drain.
Hazardous thermal : Decomposition products may include the following materials:
decomposition products carbon dioxide
carbon monoxide
nitrogen oxides
Special protective actions : Move containers from fire area if this can be done without risk. Use water spray to keep
for fire-fighters fire-exposed containers cool.
Special protective : Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing
equipment for fire-fighters apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.
Environmental precautions : Avoid dispersal of spilled 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). Water polluting material. May be harmful to
the environment if released in large quantities. Collect spillage.

Section 7. Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Protective measures : Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Avoid exposure -
obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety precautions have
been read and understood. Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing. Do not breathe
vapor or mist. Do not swallow. Avoid release to the environment. Use only with
adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Do
not enter storage areas and confined spaces unless adequately ventilated. Keep in the
original container or an approved alternative made from a compatible material, kept
tightly closed when not in use. Store and use away from heat, sparks, open flame or
any other ignition source. Use explosion-proof electrical (ventilating, lighting and
material handling) equipment. Use only non-sparking tools. Take precautionary
measures against electrostatic discharges. Empty containers retain product residue
and can be hazardous. Do not reuse container.
Advice on general : Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is
occupational hygiene handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating,
drinking and smoking. See also Section 8 for additional information on hygiene
measures. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering
eating areas.
Conditions for safe storage, : Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in a segregated and approved area.
including any Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated
incompatibilities area, away from incompatible materials (see Section 10) and food and drink. Eliminate
all ignition sources. Separate from oxidizing materials. 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 unlabeled containers.
Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.

Appropriate engineering : Use only with adequate ventilation. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or
controls other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any
recommended or statutory limits. The engineering controls also need to keep gas,
vapor or dust concentrations below any lower explosive limits. Use explosion-proof
ventilation equipment.

Section 8. Exposure controls/personal protection
Skin protection
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. Considering the parameters specified by the glove manufacturer, check
during use that the gloves are still retaining their protective properties. It should be
noted that the time to breakthrough for any glove material may be different for different
glove manufacturers. In the case of mixtures, consisting of several substances, the
protection time of the gloves cannot be accurately estimated.
Body 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. When there is a risk of ignition from static electricity, wear anti-
static protective clothing. For the greatest protection from static discharges, clothing
should include anti-static overalls, boots and gloves.
Other skin protection : Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection measures should be selected
based on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a
specialist before handling this product.
Respiratory protection : Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or supplied air 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.
