3.1 Substance
Not applicable.
3.2 Mixtures
Composition comments The data shown are in accordance with the latest EC Directives.
General information As a general rule, in case of doubt or if symptoms persist, always call a doctor. Seek medical
attention for all burns and eye injuries, regardless how minor they may seem. First aid
personnel must be aware of own risk during rescue. Provide general first aid, rest, warmth
and fresh air.
Inhalation Move the exposed person to fresh air at once. If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be
administered by qualified personnel. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Get prompt
medical attention.
Ingestion Get medical attention immediately. Do not induce vomiting. Provided the patient is fully
conscious, rinse mouth with water and give plenty of water to drink. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person. Artificial respiration and/or oxygen may be necessary.
Skin contact Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. Promptly flush contaminated skin
with water. Continue to rinse for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention immediately.
Eye contact SPEED IS ESSENTIAL. Avoid contaminating unaffected eye. Wash thoroughly with soft,
clean water for 15 minutes holding the eyelids open. Remove contact lenses if present and

4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
General information The severity of the symptoms described will vary dependant of the concentration and the
length of exposure.
Inhalation Irritating to respiratory system.
Ingestion May cause chemical burns in mouth and throat. May cause severe internal injury.
Skin contact Corrosive. Causes severe skin burns.
Eye contact May cause irreversible eye damage. Symptoms may include redness, lachrymation, swelling
of tissue, burns.
4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Extinguishing media Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding
environment. Water spray. Water fog. Foam. Dry powder. Carbon dioxide. Dry chemical.
Unsuitable extinguishing media High volume water jet
Hazardous combustion products Thermal decomposition or combustion may liberate carbon oxides and other toxic or
irritating gases or vapours.
Unusual fire & explosion hazards Irritating or corrosive vapors may be emitted during a fire. Do NOT breathe fumes. Contain
run-off. In contact with metals generates hydrogen gas, which together with air can form
explosive mixtures.
Specific hazards During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed. In the event of damage to packaging,
floors may become slippery, avoid falls.
Special fire fighting procedures If possible, fight fire from protected position. Ventilate closed spaces before entering them.
Keep up-wind to avoid fumes. Avoid breathing fire vapours. Containers close to fire should
be removed immediately or cooled with water if safe to do so.
Protective equipment for firefighters Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode. Personal
protective equipment conforming to European standard EN 469 will provide a basic level of
protection for chemical incidents.
Personal precautions Do not mix with other chemicals. Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8 of this
safety data sheet. Avoid inhalation of vapours and contact with skin and eyes. Provide
adequate ventilation. In case of inadequate ventilation, use respiratory protection. Eliminate
all sources of ignition.
For emergency responders Follow safe handling advice and personal protective equipment recommendations for normal
use of product.
Environmental precautions Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground. Spillages or uncontrolled
discharges into watercourses must be IMMEDIATELY alerted to the Environmental
Protection Agency or local authority.
Spill clean up methods Ventilate and evacuate the area. Eliminate all ignition sources. Wear necessary protective
equipment DO NOT touch spilled material! Stop leak if possible without risk. Use non -
metallic tools/containers for clean up. In case of spills, beware of slippery floors and
surfaces.
Absorb spillage with inert, damp, non-combustible material or use a liquid binding material.
Place waste material into suitable labelled sealed containers for disposal. Remove waste
promptly to a safe area. Flush with plenty of water to clean spillage area.
