General Advice
Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. Immediate medical attention is required.

Eye Contact
Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Immediate medical attention is required.
Keep eye wide open while rinsing.

Skin Contact
Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated clothes and shoes. Call a physician
immediately.

Inhalation
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Do not use
mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; give artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask
equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device.

Ingestion
Immediate medical attention is required. Do NOT induce vomiting. Drink plenty of water. Never give anything by mouth to an

Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons
No information available.

Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical
The product causes burns of eyes, skin and mucous membranes.


Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full
protective gear. Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors.

                       SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES


Personal Precautions
Use personal protective equipment as required. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing.


Environmental Precautions

exposure to chemical and biological agents. MDHS14/3 General methods for sampling and gravimetric analysis of respirable and
inhalable dust

Exposure Controls

Engineering Measures
Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. Wherever possible, engineering control
measures such as the isolation or enclosure of the process, the introduction of process or equipment changes to minimise release
or contact, and the use of properly designed ventilation systems, should be adopted to control hazardous materials at source.

Personal protective equipment

   Eye Protection                Goggles (European standard - EN 166)

   Hand Protection                  Protective gloves

    Glove material     Breakthrough time  Glove thickness   EU standard             Glove comments
        Nitrile rubber      See manufacturers               -          EN 374             (minimum requirement)
       Neoprene        recommendations
      Natural rubber
       PVC

Please observe the instructions regarding permeability and breakthrough time which are provided by the supplier of the gloves.
(Refer to manufacturer/supplier for information)
Ensure gloves are suitable for the task: Chemical compatability, Dexterity, Operational conditions, User susceptibility, e.g.
sensitisation effects, also take into consideration the specific local conditions under which the product is used, such as the danger
of cuts, abrasion.
Remove gloves with care avoiding skin contamination.

   Skin and body protection       Long sleeved clothing

   Respiratory Protection       When workers are facing concentrations above the exposure limit they must use
                                      appropriate certified respirators.
                              To protect the wearer, respiratory protective equipment must be the correct fit and be used
                               and maintained properly

   Large scale/emergency use    Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 136 approved respirator if exposure limits
                                    are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced
                           Recommended Filter type: Particulates filter conforming to EN 143

   Small scale/Laboratory use     Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149:2001 approved respirator if exposure
                                              limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced.
                           Recommended half mask:- Particle filtering: EN149:2001
                           When RPE is used a face piece Fit Test should be conducted
