3. Hazard identification
Risk of serious damage to eyes.

4. First-aid measures
General advice: Remove contaminated clothing. If inhaled: If difficulties occur after vapour/aerosol has been inhaled, remove to fresh air and seek medical attention. On skin contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water. On contact with eyes: Immediately wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open, consult an eye specialist. On ingestion: Rinse mouth immediately and then drink plenty of water, seek medical attention. Note to physician: Treatment: Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions), no known specific antidote.

5. Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media: water, dry extinguishing media, foam, carbon dioxide Specific hazards: harmful vapours Evolution of fumes/fog. The substances/groups of substances mentioned can be released in case of fire. Special protective equipment: Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus. Further information: The degree of risk is governed by the burning substance and the fire conditions. Contaminated extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with official regulations.

6. Accidental release measures

Personal precautions: Use personal protective clothing.

Environmental precautions: Contain contaminated water/firefighting water. Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater. Methods for cleaning up or taking up: For large amounts: Pump off product. For residues: Pick up with suitable absorbent material. Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with regulations.

7. Handling and storage

Handling No special measures necessary provided product is used correctly. Protection against fire and explosion: Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Storage Further information on storage conditions: Keep container tightly closed and dry; store in a cool place.

8. Exposure controls and personal protection

Personal protective equipment Respiratory protection: Respiratory protection in case of vapour/aerosol release. Hand protection: Chemical resistant protective gloves (EN 374) e.g. nitrile rubber (0.4 mm), chloroprene rubber (0.5 mm), polyvinylchloride (0.7 mm) and other Supplementary note: The specifications are based on own tests, literature data and information of glove manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions (e.g. temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined in accordance with EN 374. Manufacturer's directions for use should be observed because of great diversity of types. Eye protection: Tightly fitting safety goggles (cage goggles) (EN 166) and face shield. General safety and hygiene measures: Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wearing of closed work clothing is recommended.
