Section 4: First-Aid Measures

Description of first aid measures:
In case of inhalation: Supply fresh air. If required, provide artificial respiration. Keep patient warm. Seek immediate
medical advice.
In case of skin contact: In case of contact, immediately wash skin with soap and copious amounts of water.
In case of eye contact: Flush eyes thoroughly with water for 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses after the initial 1-2
minutes and continue flushing. In case of discomfort seek medical attention.
In case of ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth
with water. Seek medical attention.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed:
Inhalation: May be harmful if inhaled. May cause respiratory tract irritation.
Eyes: May cause eye irritation.

Methods for containment and cleaning up:
Methods for cleaning up: Sweep up and shovel. Contain spillage, and then collect with an electrically protected
vacuum cleaner or by wet-brushing; place in container for disposal according to local regulations (see section 13).
Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.

Reference to other sections:
Treat recovered material as described in the section "Disposal considerations".


Section 7: Handling and Storage

Precautions for safe handling:
Advice on safe handling: Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places
where dust is formed. Keep away from sources of ignition. NO SMOKING. Take measures to prevent a build-up of
electrostatic charge.
Hygiene measures: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.

Conditions for safe storage, including incompatibilities:
Requirements for storage areas and containers: Store in cool place. Keep container tightly closed in a dry, well-
ventilated place. Store under inert gas. Air- and moisture-sensitive.


Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Control parameters:
Occupational exposure limits: Contains no substances with occupational exposure limit values.

Exposure controls:
Appropriate engineering controls: Safety shower and eye bath; mechanical exhaust required.

Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment:
Eye/face protection: Safety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166. Use equipment for eye protection tested
and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166 (EU).
Hand protection: Use chemical resistant gloves. Examples of preferred glove barrier materials include: Butyl rubber,
Neoprene, Nitrile/butadiene rubber, Polyethylene, Ethyl vinyl alcohol laminate, polyvinyl alcohol, Polyvinyl chloride.
Body protection: Flame-retardant antistatic protective clothing. The type of protective equipment must be selected
according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.
