Special risks: |
|
Vapours heavier than air. Development of hazardous combustion gases or vapours possible in the event of fire. The following may develop in event of fire: phosgene , hydrochloric acid , chlorine |
|
Special protective equipment for fire fighting: |
| Do not stay in dangerous zone without suitable chemical protection clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. |
|
Other information: |
|
Non-combustible. 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. 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: |
| No further requirements. |
| Storage: |
| Tightly closed. In a well-ventilated place. Protected from light. At +15°C to +25°C. |
| 8. Exposure controls/personal protection |
| Personal protective equipment: | |
| Respiratory protection: | required when vapours/aerosols are generated. |
| Eye protection: | required |
| Hand protection: |
required Protective clothing should be selected specifically for the working place, depending on concentration and quantity of the hazardous substances handled. The resistance of the protective clothing to chemicals should be ascertained with the respective supplier. |
| Industrial hygiene: | Immediately change contaminated clothing. Apply skin- protective barrier cream. Wash hands and face 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. |
