4 First aid measures
General information:
Symptoms of poisoning may even occur after several hours; therefore medical observation for at least 48 hours
after the accident.
After inhalation: Supply fresh air; consult doctor in case of complaints.
After skin contact: Immediately wash with water and soap and rinse thoroughly.
After eye contact: Rinse opened eye for several minutes under running water.
After swallowing: Seek immediate medical advice.
5 Fire fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing agents:
CO2, extinguishing powder or water spray. Fight larger fires with water spray or alcohol resistant foam.
Special hazards caused by the material, its products of combustion or resulting gases:
In case of fire, the following can be released:
Carbon monoxide (CO)
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Melted solder above 1000掳F will liberate toxic lead and/or antimony fumes.
Aliphatic aldehydes
Protective equipment:
Wear self-contained respiratory protective device.
Mouth respiratory protective device.
6 Accidental release measures
Person-related safety precautions: Ensure adequate ventilation
Measures for environmental protection: Do not allow to enter sewers/ surface or ground water.
Measures for cleaning/collecting:
Absorb with liquid-binding material (sand, diatomite, acid binders, universal binders, sawdust).
Dispose contaminated material as waste according to item 13.
Ensure adequate ventilation.
Melted solder will solidify on cooling and can be scraped up. Use caution to avoid breathing fumes if a gas torch is
used to cut up large pieces.
7 Handling and storage
