SECTION 4: First aid measures

Eye Contact

Immediate medical attention is required. Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes.

Skin Contact

Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated clothes and shoes. Get medical attention.
Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately.

Inhalation

Remove from exposure, lie down. Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Immediate medical attention is required.

Ingestion

Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Drink plenty of water. Call a physician immediately. If possible drink milk afterwards.

Most important symptoms and effects

Difficulty in breathing. Symptoms of overexposure may be headache, dizziness, tiredness, nausea and vomiting

Self-Protection of the First Aider

Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, take precautions to protect themselves and prevent spread of contamination.

Notes to Physician

Treat symptomatically.

SECTION 5: Firefighting measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media

0
HEALTH 2 Intense or continued but not chronic exposure could cause temporary incapacitation or possible residual injury (e.g. diethyl ether, ammonium phosphate, iodine)
FIRE 2 Must be moderately heated or exposed to relatively high ambient temperature before ignition can occur and multiple finely divided suspended solids that do not require heating before ignition can occur. Flash point between 37.8 and 93.3 °C (100 and 200 °F). (e.g. diesel fuel, sulfur)
REACT 0 Normally stable, even under fire exposure conditions, and is not reactive with water (e.g. helium,N2)
SPEC. HAZ.

containers for disposal. Sweep up and shovel into suitablecontainersfordisposal.
Refer to protectivemeasureslisted in Sections 8and 13.

SECTION 7: Handling and storage

Handling

Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking. Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous.

Storage

Flammables area. Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking.

Specific Use(s)

Use in laboratories

SECTION 8: Exposure controls/personal protection

Control Parameters

Exposure Controls

Engineering Measures

Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Ventilation systems. 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
Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles) Goggles (European standard - EN 166)
Hand Protection
Protective gloves
Glove materialBreakthrough timeGlove thicknessEU standardGlove comments
Disposable glovesSee manufacturers recommendations-EN 374(minimum requirement)

Inspect gloves before use.
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
Wear appropriate protective gloves and clothing to prevent skin exposure
Respiratory Protection
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134 or European Standard
EN 149. Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced. Wear a
NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved full-facepiece airline respirator in the positive pressure mode with emergency escape provisions.
To protect the wearer, respiratory protective equipment must be the correct fit and be used and maintained properly
Large scale/emergency use
In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment
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.
When RPE is used a face piece Fit Test should be conducted
