Classification (67/548/CEE or 1999/45/CE).

First aid

4.1 General indications:

Never provide drink or induce vomiting in the event of loss of consciousness.

4.2 Inhaling:

Take the person out into the fresh air. In the event of suffocation, proceed immediately to provide artificial respiration. Seek immediate medical assistance. Loosen clothing to release respiratory channels.

4.3 Contact with the skin:

Wash with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing.

4.4 Eyes:

Wash with plenty of water (for at least 15 minutes), keeping eyelids open. Seek medical assistance.

4.5 Swallowing:

Avoid vomiting. Risk of aspiration. Seek medical assistance. Administer Vaseline oil as a laxative (3 ml/kg).

Fire-fighting means

5.1 Suitable fire-extinguishing means:

Dry powder. Foam. Carbon dioxide (CO2).

5.2 Fire-fighting means which must NOT be used:

5.3 Special risks:

Flammable. Keep away from sources of ignition. The fumes are heavier than air, so they may spread at floor level. In the event of fire, toxic fumes may form: NOx. Precipitate fumes formed with water. May form explosive mixtures with the air.

5.4 Protective equipment:

Suitable clothing and footwear. Self-contained breathing equipment.

Measures to be taken in the event of accidental spillage

6.1 Individual precautions:

Do not inhale the fumes.

6.2 Precautions for care of the environment:

Avoid pollution of the soil, water supplies and drains.

6.3 Methods for collection/cleaning:

Collect up with absorbent materials (Panreac General Absorbent, Kieselguhr, etc.) or, if none available, dry sand or earth, and deposit in waste containers for subsequent elimination in accordance with current legislation.

Handling and storage

7.1 Handling:

Avoid the formation of electrostatic charges.

7.2 Storage:

Well sealed containers.In well ventilated premises.Away from light.Away from sources of ignition and heat.Atmospheric temperature.

Considerations regarding elimination

13.1 Substance or preparation:

In the European Union, there are no homogeneous standards established for elimination of chemical waste, which is waste of a special nature, and treatment and elimination of same is subject to the domestic legislation in each country.

In view of this, in each case, you should contact the competent authority or those companies legally authorized for elimination of waste.

2001/573/EC: Council Decision of 23 July 2001 amending Commission Decision 2000/532/EC as regards the list of wastes.Council Directive 91/156/EEC of 18 March 1991 amending Directive 75/442/EEC on waste.

.

13.2 Contaminated containers:

Contaminated containers and packaging of dangerous substances or preparations must be treated in the same manner as the actual products contained in them.
