General information Get medical attention immediately. Show this Safety Data Sheet to the medical personnel.

Inhalation Remove affected person from source of contamination. Move affected person to fresh air and keep warm
and at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as
collar, tie or belt. When breathing is difficult, properly trained personnel may assist affected person by
administering oxygen. Place unconscious person on their side in the recovery position and ensure
breathing can take place.

Ingestion Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Remove any dentures. Stop if the affected person feels sick as
vomiting may be dangerous. Do not induce vomiting unless under the direction of medical personnel. If
vomiting occurs, the head should be kept low so that vomit does not enter the lungs. Never give anything
by mouth to an unconscious person. Move affected person to fresh air and keep warm and at rest in a
position comfortable for breathing. Place unconscious person on their side in the recovery position and
ensure breathing can take place. Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as collar, tie or belt.

Skin contact Brush off loose particles from skin. Rinse with water.

Eye contact Rinse immediately with plenty of water. Remove any contact lenses and open eyelids wide apart.
Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes.

Protection of first aiders First aid personnel should wear appropriate protective equipment during any rescue.

6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Methods for cleaning up Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet. Clear up spills immediately
and dispose of waste safely. Approach the spillage from upwind. Avoid generation and spreading of dust.
Small Spillages: Remove spillage with vacuum cleaner or collect with a shovel and broom, or similar.
Large Spillages: Collect spillage with a shovel and broom, or similar and reuse, if possible. Collect and
place in suitable waste disposal containers and seal securely. Containers with collected spillage must be
properly labelled with correct contents and hazard symbol. Flush contaminated area with plenty of water.
Wash thoroughly after dealing with a spillage. Neutralise with acid. Caution. May generate heat. Following
dilution and neutralisation, discharge to the sewer with plenty of water may be permitted. The
requirements of the local water authority must be complied with if contaminated water is flushed directly to
the sewer. Dispose of waste to licensed waste disposal site in accordance with the requirements of the
local Waste Disposal Authority.

6.4. Reference to other sections

Reference to other sections For personal protection, see Section 8. See Section 11 for additional information on health hazards. See

Commission Regulation (EU) No 2015/830 of 28 May 2015.

Appropriate engineering controls Provide adequate ventilation. Personal, workplace environment or biological monitoring may be required
to determine the effectiveness of the ventilation or other control measures and/or the necessity to use
respiratory protective equipment. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering
controls as the primary means to minimise worker exposure. Personal protective equipment should only
be used if worker exposure cannot be controlled adequately by the engineering control measures. Ensure
control measures are regularly inspected and maintained. Ensure operatives are trained to minimise
exposure.

Eye/face protection Eyewear complying with an approved standard should be worn if a risk assessment indicates eye contact
is possible. Personal protective equipment for eye and face protection should comply with European
Standard EN166. Wear tight-fitting, chemical splash goggles or face shield. If inhalation hazards exist, a
full-face respirator may be required instead.

Hand protection Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn if a risk
assessment indicates skin contact is possible. The most suitable glove should be chosen in consultation
with the glove supplier/manufacturer, who can provide information about the breakthrough time of the
glove material. To protect hands from chemicals, gloves should comply with European Standard EN374.
Considering the data specified by the glove manufacturer, check during use that the gloves are retaining
their protective properties and change them as soon as any deterioration is detected. Frequent changes
are recommended. Wear protective gauntlets made of the following material: Butyl rubber. Nitrile rubber.

Other skin and body protection Appropriate footwear and additional protective clothing complying with an approved standard should be
worn if a risk assessment indicates skin contamination is possible.

Hygiene measures Provide eyewash station and safety shower. Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the
workplace. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Clean equipment and the work area every day.
Good personal hygiene procedures should be implemented. Wash at the end of each work shift and
before eating, smoking and using the toilet. When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Preventive industrial
medical examinations should be carried out. Warn cleaning personnel of any hazardous properties of the
product.

Respiratory protection Respiratory protection complying with an approved standard should be worn if a risk assessment
indicates inhalation of contaminants is possible. Protection against nuisance dust must be used when the
airborne concentration exceeds 10 mg/m3. Wear a suitable dust mask. Ensure all respiratory protective
equipment is suitable for its intended use and is ‘CE’-marked. Check that the respirator fits tightly and the
filter is changed regularly. Gas and combination filter cartridges should comply with European Standard
EN14387. Full face mask respirators with replaceable filter cartridges should comply with European
Standard EN136. Half mask and quarter mask respirators with replaceable filter cartridges should comply
with European Standard EN140.

Environmental exposure controls Keep container tightly sealed when not in use.
