3 Hazards identification Irritating to eyes. Limited evidence of a carcinogenic effect. May
cause sensitisation by skin contact. Possible risk of irreversible
effects.
4 First aid measures
4.1 Eye contact Irrigate with flowing water immediately and continuously for 15
minutes. Consult medical personnel.
4.2 Skin contact Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes
while removing contaminated clothing.
4.3 Ingestion Consult a physician.
4.4 Inhalation Remove to fresh air. Consult a physician.
4.5 Further information Overexposure may lead to allergic skin reactions with sensitized
people. In this case, seek medical advice.
5 Fire-fighting measures
5.1 Suitable extinguishing media Water.
Water fog, carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemicals.
5.2 Extinguishing media to avoid None under normal conditions.
5.3 Further information Keep containers cool by spraying with water.
6 Accidental release Wear adequate personal protective equipment, see Section 8
measures (Exposure Controls/Personal Protection)
Prevent from entering into soil, waterways and groundwater.
Spills should be contained by, and covered with suitable
absorbent material and removed for disposal.
Dispose of according to local and national regulations.
7 Handling and storage
7.1 Handling Avoid eye and skin contact.
Wash hands and exposed skin before eating, drinking or
smoking and after work.

8 Exposure controls / personal protection
8.1 Technical equipment Good general ventilation should be sufficient for most
processing operations. Vent work area to ensure airbone
concentrations are below the current occupational exposure
limits. 10 or more room air changes per hour containing a
minimum of 15% fresh air, will meet these requirements.
8.2 Control of threshold limits None established.
8.3 Personal protective equipment
8.3.1 Respiratory protection No respiratory protection needed under normal conditions.
Good general ventilation should be sufficient.
8.3.2 Hand protection Use chemical resistant gloves. In case of prolonged immersion
or frequently repated contact use gloves made of the materials:
Butyl rubber (thickness >= 0.36 mm, breakthrough time > 480
min), nitrile rubber (thickness >= 0.38 mm, breakthrough time >
480 min) or neoprene (thickness >= 0.65 mm, breakthrough time
> 240 min). For intermittent splash protection corresponding
gloves with breakthrough times > 60 min can be used. Avoid
gloves made of: natural rubber.
8.3.3 Eye protection Use chemical safety goggles.
Eye wash fountain should be located in immediate work area.
8.3.4 Other Appropriate protective clothing.
