Information for doctor
Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
Section 5: Fire Extinguishing Measures
Suitable extinguishing media:
Water spray
Alcohol-resistant foam
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Dry chemical
Unsuitable extinguishing media:
High volume water jet
Specific hazards during firefighting:
Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire
Flash back possible over considerable distance
Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air
Exposure to combustion products may be a hazard to health
Hazardous combustion products:
Carbon oxides
Special protective equipment for firefighters:
In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Use personal protective equipment
Specific extinguishing methods:
Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment
Use water spray to cool unopened containers
Remove undamaged containers from fire area if it is safe to do so
Evacuate area
Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Personal precautions:
Remove all sources of ignition
Used personal protection equipment
Follow safe handling advice and personal protective equipment recommendations
Environmental precautions:
Discharge into the environment must be avoided
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so
Prevent spreading over a wide area (e.g. by containment or oil barriers)
Retain and dispose of contaminated wash water
Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Methods for cleaning up:
Non-sparking tools should be used
Soak up with inert absorbent material
Suppress (knock down) gases/vapours/mists with a water spray jet
For large spills, provide diking or other appropriate containment to keep material from spreading. If diked material can be pumped, store recovered material in appropriate container.
Clean up remaining materials from spill with suitable absorbent.
Local or national regulations may apply to releases and disposal of this material, as well as those materials and items employed in the clean up of releases. You will need to determine which regulations are applicable.
Section 7: Storage and Handling
Precautions for safe handling:
Wear personal protective equipment / face protection.
Do not get in eyes or on clothing.
Avoid ingestion and inhalation.
Ensure adequate ventilation.
Hygiene measures:
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
Requirements for storage areas and containers:
Keep in properly labelled containers. Keep tightly closed. Keep in a cool, well-ventilated place. Store in accordance with the particular national regulations. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition.
Advice on common storage:
Do not store with the following product types:
-Strong oxidising agents
-Organic peroxides
-Flammable solids
-Pyrophoric liquids
-Pyrophoric Liquids
-Self-heating substances and mixtures
-Substances and mixtures, which in contact with water, emit flammable gases
-Explosives

Remarks:
Choose gloves to protect hands against chemicals depending on the concentration and quantity of the hazardous substance and specific place of work. Breakthrough time is not determined for the product. Change gloves often! For special applications, we recommend clarifying the resistance to chemicals of the aforementioned protective gloves with the glove manufacturer. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of the work day.
