| 4. First aid measures |
|
After inhalation: fresh air. If necessary, apply mouth-to-mouth resuscitation or mechanical ventilation. After skin contact: wash off with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing. After eye contact: rinse out with plenty of water for at least 10 minutes with the eyelid held wide open. Summon eye specialist. After swallowing: Avoid vomiting. Risk of aspiration! Summon doctor. Laxative: Paraffin oil (3 ml/kg). Sodium sulfate (1 tablespoon/1/4 l water). |
| 5. Fire-fighting measures |
| Suitable extinguishing media: |
| Powder, foam. |
|
Special risks: |
| Combustible. Vapours heavier than air. Formation of explosible mixtures possible with air. Keep away from sources of ignition. Take measures to prevent electrostatic charging. Development of hazardous combustion gases or vapours possible in the event of fire. |
|
Special protective equipment for fire fighting: |
| Do not stay in dangerous zone without suitable chemical protection clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. |
|
Other information: |
| Cool container with spray water from a save distance. Prevent fire-fighting water from entering surface water or groundwater. |
| 6. Accidental release measures |
|
Person-related precautionary measures: Do not inhale vapours. Environmental-protection measures: Do not allow to enter sewerage system. (risk of explosion!) Procedures for cleaning / absorption: Take up with liquid-absorbent material (e.g. Chemizorb® ). Forward for disposal. Clean up affected area. |
| 7. Handling and storage |
| Handling: |
| Take measures to prevent electrostatic charging. |
| Storage: |
| Tightly closed. In a well-ventilated place. Keep away from sources of ignition and heat. At +15°C to +25°C. |
| 8. Exposure controls/personal protection |
| Personal protective equipment: | |
| Respiratory protection: | required when vapours are generated. |
| Eye protection: | required |
| Hand protection: | required |
| Industrial hygiene: | Change contaminated clothing. Application of skin- protective barrier cream recommended. Wash hands after working with substance. |

| 13. Disposal considerations |
| Product: |
| There are no uniform EC Regulations for the disposal of chemicals or residues. Chemical residues generally count as special waste. The disposal of the latter is regulated in the EC member countries through corresponding laws and regulations. We recommend that you contact either the authorities in charge or approved waste disposal companies which will advise you on how to dispose of special waste. |
| Packaging: |
| Disposal in compliance with official regulations. Handle contaminated packaging in the same way as the substance itself. If not officially specified differently, non-contaminated packaging may be treated like household waste or recycled. |
