Description of first aid measures
Take care of your own safety. If any health problems are manifested or if in
doubt, inform a doctor and show him information from this safety data sheet.
If unconscious, put the person in the stabilized (recovery) position on his
side with his head slightly bent backwards and make sure that airways
are free; never induce vomiting. If the person vomits by himself, make sure
that the vomit is not inhaled. In life threatening conditions first of all
provide resuscitation of the affected person and ensure medical assistance.
Respiratory arrest - provide artificial respiration immediately. Cardiac
arrest - provide indirect cardiac massage
immediately.
Terminate the exposure immediately; move the affected person to fresh air.
Protect the person against growing cold. Provide medical treatment if
irritation, dyspnoea or other symptoms persist.
Remove contaminated clothes. Wash the affected area with plenty of water,
lukewarm if possible. Soap, soap
solution or shampoo should be used if there is no skin injury.
Provide medical treatment if skin irritation
persists.
Do
not rub your eyes – it could lead to mechanical damage of the cornea. Rinse
eyes immediately with a flow of running water, open the eyelids (also using
force if needed); remove contact lenses immediately if worn by the affected
person. No neutralization should be performed in any case! Rinsing should be
continued for 10-30 minutes from the inner to the outer eye corner to make
sure that the other eye is not involved. Depending on the situation, call
medical rescue service or ensure medical treatment as promptly as possible.
Everyone must be referred for treatment even if affected only a little.
Provide medical treatment.
Inhaling dust can cause corrosion of the breathing system.
Causes skin irritation.
Causes serious eye damage.
Corrosion of the digestion system can occur.
Symptomatic treatment.

Extinguishing
media Suitable extinguishing
media
Alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide, powder, water
spray jet, water mist.
Water - full jet.
In
the event of fire, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other toxic gases may
arise. Inhalation of hazardous degradation (pyrolysis) products may cause
serious health damage.
Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) with a chemical
protection suit only where personal (close) contact
is likely. Use a self-contained breathing apparatus and full-body
protective clothing. Do not allow run-off
of contaminated fire
extinguishing material to enter drains or surface and ground
water.
6.1.
Personal precautions, protective equipment and
emergency procedures
May
be corrosive to metals. Use personal protective equipment for work. Follow
the instructions in the Sections 7
and
8.
Prevent contact with skin and eyes.
Prevent contamination of the soil and entering surface or ground water.
Place the product mechanically in an appropriate manner. Dispose of the
collected material according to the instructions in the section 13. Absorb
spillage to prevent material damage.
See the Section 7, 8 and 13.
7.1.
Precautions for safe handling
Prevent contact with skin and eyes. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using
this product. Wash hands and exposed parts of the body thoroughly after
handling. Use personal protective equipment as per Section 8. Observe valid
legal regulations on safety and health protection.
Store in tightly closed containers in cold, dry and well ventilated areas
designated for this purpose. Do not expose to sunlight. Keep only in
original container.

Follow the usual measures intended for health protection at work and
especially for good ventilation. This can be achieved only by local suction
or efficient general ventilation. Do not eat, drink and smoke during work.
Wash your hands thoroughly with water and soap after work and before breaks
for a meal and rest.
Protective goggles or face shield (based on the nature of the work
performed).
Hand protection: Protective gloves resistant to the product. When choosing
appropriate thickness, material and permeability of the gloves, observe
recommendations of their particular manufacturer. Observe other
recommendations of the manufacturer. Other protection: protective workwear.
Contaminated skin should be washed thoroughly.
Use
a mask with anti-dust filter when the exposition limits of the substances
are exceeded or at the place with insufficient ventilation.
