CLASSIFICATION C;R35.
4 FIRST-AID MEASURES GENERAL INFORMATION
SPEED IS ESSENTIAL. OBTAIN IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
INHALATION
If affected by vapour, remove to fresh air. Keep at rest and warm. Seek medical attention. When breathing is difficult, properly trained personnel may assist affected person by administering oxygen.
INGESTION
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING! Immediately rinse mouth and drink plenty of water (200-300 ml). NEVER MAKE AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON VOMIT OR DRINK FLUIDS! Get medical attention immediately!
SKIN CONTACT
Remove contaminated clothes and rinse skin thoroughly with water. Continue to rinse for at least 15 minutes. Contact physician if irritation continues.
EYE CONTACT
Immediately irrigate with eyewash solution or clean water for at least 10 minutes, holding the eyelids apart. Make sure to remove any contact lenses from the eyes before rinsing. Seek medical attention
5 FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Water spray, foam, dry powder or carbon dioxide. Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire. Use fire-extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding materials.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES
Use water spray to cool container and prevent rupture.
SPECIFIC HAZARDS
Can react with some metals generating Hydrogen gas. Reaction with moisture may generate sufficient heat to ignite combustible material.
PROTECTIVE MEASURES IN FIRE
Self contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.
6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
Do not discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.
SPILL CLEAN UP METHODS
Neutralise small spillages with Sodium Bicarbonate or a mixture of Soda Ash / Slaked Lime. Shovel residue into clearly marked containers for disposal. Contain large spillages with sand or earth. Recover for re-use or salvage.
7 HANDLING AND STORAGE USAGE PRECAUTIONS
Avoid inhalation of high concentrations of dust. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep away from aluminium, zinc, lead, tin, acids and chlorinated hydrocarbons. Great care should be taken when dissolving in water (high exothermic reaction).
STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. Store in tightly closed original container in a dry and cool place. Keep locked up and out of reach of children.
