________________________________________________________________________________________
4. First aid measures
Inhalation: Remove the subject from the contaminated area as soon as possible; transport him/her lying down,
with the head higher than the body, to a quiet, uncontaminated and well-ventilated location. Consult with a
physician in all cases.
Eye contact: Flush eyes as soon as possible with running water for 15 minutes, while keeping the eyelids wide
open. In the case of difficulty of opening the lids, administer an analgesic eye wash (oxybuprocaine). Consult
with an ophthalmologist immediately in all cases.
Skin contact: Remove contaminated shoes, socks and clothing, under the shower if necessary; wash the
affected skin with running water. Keep warm (blanket), provide clean clothing. Consult with a physician in all
cases.
Ingestion:
General recommendations: Consult with a physician immediately in all cases. Take to hospital.
If the subject in completely conscious: Rinse mouth with fresh water. Do not induce vomiting.

5. Fire fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media: Large quantities of water, water spray.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: No restriction.
Special exposure hazards: Oxidiser (see section 9). Oxygen released on exothermic decomposition may
support combustion in case of surrounding fire. Oxidising agent, may cause spontaneous ignition of
combustible materials. Contact with flammables may cause fire or explosions. Pressure burst may occur due
to decomposition in confined spaces/ containers.
Protective measures in case of intervention: Evacuate all non-essential personnel. Intervention only by
capable personnel who are trained and aware of the hazards of the product. Wear self contained breathing
apparatus when in close proximity or in confined spaces. When intervention in close proximity wear acid
resistant over suit. After intervention, proceed to clean the equipment (take a shower, remove clothing
carefully, clean and check).
Other precautions: If safe to do so, remove the exposed containers, or cool with large quantities of water.
Approach from upwind. Stay at safe distance in a protected location sheltered from possible projectiles. Never
approach containers which have been exposed to fire, without cooling them sufficiently.
________________________________________________________________________________________
6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions: Follow the protective measures given in section 5. Follow the protective measures
given in section 8. Isolate the area. Approach from upwind. Keep away from materials and products which are
incompatible with the product (see section 10). If safe to do so, without over exposing anyone, try to stop the
leak. In case of contact with combustible materials, avoid product drying out, by dilution with water.
Environmental precautions: Do not discharge into the environment (sewers, rivers, soil, etc).
Methods for cleaning up: If possible, dam large quantities of liquid with sand or earth. Dilute with large
quantities of water. Do not add chemical products. For disposal methods, refer to section 13. In order to avoid
the risk of contamination, the recovered product must not be returned to the original tank/ container.
________________________________________________________________________________________
7. Handling and storage
Handling: Operate in a well-ventilated area. Keep away from heat sources. Keep away from incompatible
products. Prevent all contact with organics. Use only equipment and materials which are compatible with the
product. Before all operations, passivate the piping circuits and vessels according to the procedure
recommended by the producer. Never return unused product to storage container. Containers and equipment
used to handle the product should be used exclusively for that product.
Storage: In a ventilated, cool area. Keep away from heat sources. Keep away from incompatible products
(see section 10). Keep away from combustible substances. Keep in original packaging, closed. Keep in
container fitted with a safety valve or vent. Containment bund around storage containers and transfer
installation. For bulk storage, consult the producer.
Specific use(s): For any particular use, please contact the supplier.
Packaging: Approved grades of HDPE. Stainless steel cleaned and passived.
Other precautions: Warn people about the dangers of the product. Follow the protective measures given in
section 8. Do not confine the product in a circuit, between closed valves, or in a container without a vent. In
industrial installations, apply the rules for the prevention of major accidents (consult an expert).

Other precautions: Shower and eye wash stations. Consult the industrial hygienist or the safety manager for
the selection of personal protective equipment suitable for the working conditions.
Environmental exposure controls
Respect local and national regulations for aqueous emissions (see section 15).
