Description of first aid measures
General advice:
First Aid responders should pay attention to self-protection and use the recommended protective
clothing (chemical resistant gloves, splash protection). If potential for exposure exists refer to Section
8 for specific personal protective equipment.
Page 2 of 18
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air; if effects occur, consult a physician.
Skin contact: Wash off with plenty of water. Suitable emergency safety shower facility should be
available in work area.
Eye contact: Wash immediately and continuously with flowing water for at least 30 minutes. Remove
contact lenses after the first 5 minutes and continue washing. Obtain prompt medical consultation,
preferably from an ophthalmologist. Suitable emergency eye wash facility should be immediately
available.
Ingestion: If swallowed, seek medical attention. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by
medical personnel.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed: Aside from the information found
under Description of first aid measures (above) and Indication of immediate medical attention and
special treatment needed (below), any additional important symptoms and effects are described in
Section 11: Toxicology Information.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Notes to physician: Chemical eye burns may require extended irrigation. Obtain prompt
consultation, preferably from an ophthalmologist. No specific antidote. Treatment of exposure should
be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient.
5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media: Water spray Alcohol-resistant foam Carbon dioxide (CO2) Dry
chemical
Unsuitable extinguishing media: None known.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Hazardous combustion products: Carbon oxides Metal oxides Oxides of phosphorus Sulphur
oxides
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Exposure to combustion products may be a hazard to
health.
Advice for firefighters

Fire Fighting Procedures: 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. Contain fire water run-off if possible. Fire water run-off, if not
contained, may cause environmental damage.
Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding
environment. Use water spray to cool unopened containers. Remove undamaged containers from fire
area if it is safe to do so. Evacuate area.
Special protective equipment for firefighters: In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing
apparatus. Use personal protective equipment.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Use personal protective
equipment. Follow safe handling advice and personal protective equipment recommendations.
Environmental precautions: Do not release the product to the aquatic environment above defined
regulatory levels Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Retain and dispose of
contaminated wash water. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be
contained.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Soak up with inert absorbent material.
Local or national regulations may apply to releases and disposal of this material, as well as those
materials and items employed in the cleanup of releases. You will need to determine which regulations
are applicable. For large spills, provide dyking or other appropriate containment to keep material from
spreading. If dyked material can be pumped, Clean up remaining materials from spill with suitable
absorbent. Sections 13 and 15 of this SDS provide information regarding certain local or national
requirements.
See sections: 7, 8, 11, 12 and 13.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for safe handling: Do not get on skin or clothing. Do not swallow. Do not get in eyes.
Keep container tightly closed. Take care to prevent spills, waste and minimize release to the
environment. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
Use only with adequate ventilation. See Engineering measures under EXPOSURE
CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION section.
Conditions for safe storage: Keep in properly labelled containers. Keep tightly closed. Store in
accordance with the particular national regulations.
Do not store with the following product types: Strong oxidizing agents.

Exposure controls
Engineering controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain
airborne levels below exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure
limit requirements or guidelines, general ventilation should be sufficient for most operations. Local
exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations.
Individual protection measures

Eye/face protection: Use chemical goggles.
Skin protection
Hand protection: Use gloves chemically resistant to this material. Examples of
preferred glove barrier materials include: Chlorinated polyethylene. Neoprene.
Nitrile/butadiene rubber ("nitrile" or "NBR"). Polyethylene. Ethyl vinyl alcohol laminate
("EVAL"). Polyvinyl alcohol ("PVA"). Viton. Examples of acceptable glove barrier
materials include: Butyl rubber. Natural rubber ("latex"). Polyvinyl chloride ("PVC" or
"vinyl"). NOTICE: The selection of a specific glove for a particular application and
duration of use in a workplace should also take into account all relevant workplace
factors such as, but not limited to: Other chemicals which may be handled, physical
requirements (cut/puncture protection, dexterity, thermal protection), potential body
reactions to glove materials, as well as the instructions/specifications provided by the
glove supplier.
Other protection: Use protective clothing chemically resistant to this material.
Selection of specific items such as face shield, boots, apron, or full body suit will
depend on the task.
Page 5 of 18
Respiratory protection: Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to

exceed the exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit
requirements or guidelines, wear respiratory protection when adverse effects, such as
respiratory irritation or discomfort have been experienced, or where indicated by your risk
assessment process. For most conditions, no respiratory protection should be needed;
however, if handling at elevated temperatures without sufficient ventilation, use an approved
air-purifying respirator.
The following should be effective types of air-purifying respirators: Organic vapor cartridge.
