4 Page: 4/10 On skin contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water. On contact with eyes: Wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open, consult an eye specialist. On ingestion: Immediately rinse mouth and then drink ml of water, seek medical attention. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed Symptoms: The most important known symptoms and effects are described in the labelling (see section 2) and/or in section 11. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed Treatment: Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions), no known specific antidote. 5. Fire-Fighting Measures Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing media: water spray, dry powder, foam Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture harmful vapours Evolution of fumes/fog. The substances/groups of substances mentioned can be released in case of fire. Advice for fire-fighters Special protective equipment: Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus. Further information: The degree of risk is governed by the burning substance and the fire conditions. Contaminated extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with official regulations. 6. Accidental Release Measures Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Use personal protective clothing. Information regarding personal protective measures see, section 8. Environmental precautions Contain contaminated water/firefighting water. Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

5 Page: 5/10 For large amounts: Pump off product. For residues: Pick up with suitable absorbent material. Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with regulations. Reference to other sections Information regarding exposure controls/personal protection and disposal considerations can be found in section 8 and Handling and Storage Precautions for safe handling Shut containers immediately after taking product because product takes up the humidity of air. Protection against fire and explosion: Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Further information on storage conditions: Containers should be stored tightly sealed in a dry place. The product is not damaged by low temperatures or by frost. Protect from temperatures above: 70 C Properties of the product change irreversibly on exceeding the limit temperature. Specific end use(s) For the relevant identified use(s) listed in Section 1 the advice mentioned in this section 7 is to be observed. 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Control parameters Components with workplace control parameters none Exposure controls Personal protective equipment Respiratory protection: Respiratory protection in case of vapour/aerosol release. Particle filter with medium efficiency for solid and liquid particles (e.g. EN 143 or 149, Type P2 or FFP2) Hand protection: Chemical resistant protective gloves (EN 374) Suitable materials also with prolonged, direct contact (Recommended: Protective index 6, corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to EN 374): nitrile rubber (NBR) mm coating thickness

6 Page: 6/10 Supplementary note: The specifications are based on tests, literature data and information of glove manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions (e.g. temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined through testing. Manufacturer's directions for use should be observed because of great diversity of types. Eye protection: Safety glasses with side-shields (frame goggles) (e.g. EN 166) Body protection: Body protection must be chosen depending on activity and possible exposure, e.g. apron, protecting boots, chemical-protection suit (according to EN in case of splashes or EN ISO in case of dust). General safety and hygiene measures Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wearing of closed work clothing is required additionally to the stated personal protection equipment. 9.
