 4. First-aid measures
Inhalation If breathing is difficult, remove to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.
Call a physician if symptoms develop or persist.
Skin contact Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/shower. Call a physician or
poison control center immediately. Chemical burns must be treated by a physician. Wash
contaminated clothing before reuse.
Eye contact Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if
present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Call a physician or poison control center immediately.
Ingestion Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Rinse mouth. Do not induce vomiting. If
vomiting occurs, keep head low so that stomach content doesn't get into the lungs.
Most important Burning pain and severe corrosive skin damage. Causes serious eye damage. Symptoms may
symptoms/effects, acute and include stinging, tearing, redness, swelling, and blurred vision. Permanent eye damage including
delayed blindness could result.
Indication of immediate Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically. Chemical burns: Flush with water
medical attention and special immediately. While flushing, remove clothes which do not adhere to affected area. Call an
treatment needed ambulance. Continue flushing during transport to hospital. Keep victim under observation.
Symptoms may be delayed.
General information Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to
protect themselves.

6. Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Wear
protective equipment and appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Do not breathe mist or vapor. Do
emergency procedures not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing.
Ensure adequate ventilation. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be
contained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS.
Methods and materials for This material is classified as a water pollutant under the Clean Water Act and should be prevented
containment and cleaning up from contaminating soil or from entering sewage and drainage systems which lead to waterways.

Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Use water spray to reduce vapors or
divert vapor cloud drift. Dike the spilled material, where this is possible. Cover with plastic sheet to
prevent spreading. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth and place into containers. Following
product recovery, flush area with water.

Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to
remove residual contamination.

Never return spills to original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
Environmental precautions Avoid release to the environment. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Avoid
discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground. Inform appropriate managerial or
supervisory personnel of all environmental releases.

7. Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling Provide adequate ventilation. Do not breathe mist or vapor. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on
clothing. Avoid prolonged exposure. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Avoid
release to the environment. Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Use care in
handling/storage.

Biological limit values No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s).
Appropriate engineering Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates
controls should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation,
or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If
exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Eye
wash facilities and emergency shower must be available when handling this product.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles) and a face shield.

Skin protection
Hand protection Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. Suitable gloves can be recommended by the glove
supplier.
Other Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing.
Respiratory protection In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.
General hygiene Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material
considerations and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective
equipment to remove contaminants.
