4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Description of first aid measures

General advice Consult a physician. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.

If inhaled If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Consult a physician.

In case of skin contact Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Take victim immediately to hospital. Consult a physician.

In case of eye contact Flush eyes with water as a precaution.

If swallowed Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth with water. Consult a physician.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed Absorption into the body leads to the formation of methemoglobin which in sufficient concentration causes

cyanosis. Onset may be delayed 2 to 4 hours or longer., To the best of our knowledge, the chemical,

physical, and toxicological properties have not been thoroughly investigated.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed no data available

 

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture Carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides (NOx)

Advice for firefighters Wear self contained breathing apparatus for fire fighting if necessary.

Further information no data available

 

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Wear respiratory protection. Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing vapors, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Avoid breathing dust.

Environmental precautions Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains. Discharge into the

environment must be avoided.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up

Pick up and arrange disposal without creating dust. Sweep up and shovel. Keep in suitable, closed

containers for disposal.

Reference to other sections For disposal see section 13.

 

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for safe handling Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols.

Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed.Normal measures for preventive fire

protection.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Store in cool place. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.

Light sensitive.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Control parameters

Components with workplace control parameters

Exposure controls

Appropriate engineering controls Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling the

product.

Personal protective equipment 

Eye/face protection Face shield and safety glasses Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under

appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).

Skin protection Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique

(without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of

contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices.

Wash and dry hands.

Body Protection Complete suit protecting against chemicals, The type of protective equipment must be selected

according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.

Respiratory protection Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face particle

respirator type N99 (US) or type P2 (EN 143) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering

controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use

respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as

NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
