Immediately remove any clothing contaminated with the 

product. Move affected persons out of hazardous area 

and lay them down. Place affected persons in the fresh air. 

Eye contact : Flush the eyes for several minutes under running water 

or sterile eye-rinse fluid with the eyelids held open. If 

symptoms persist, seek medical advice. 

Skin contact : Immediately take off and remove wetted clothing, including 

also underclothes, shoes and stockings. 

Wash off immediately with soap and water and then rinse 

thoroughly. 

In the case of frostbite, cover with sterile dressing. 

If skin irritation persists, seek medical attention. 

Inhalation : Place affected persons in the fresh air and lay them down 

comfortably. Ensure a good supply of fresh air or give 

oxygen; if necessary, give artificial respiration and warmth. 

Obtain medical treatment. 

In the case of unconsciousness, maintain and 

transport person lying on their side.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE: 

Handling: 

Information for safe Keep containers tightly sealed. 

handling : Ensure good ventilation/extraction at the workplace. 

Ensure good room ventilation including at floor level. 

(Vapours are heavier than air) 

Prevent aerosol formation or carry out checks. 

Use equipment items resistant to solvents. 

Information for fire and Spray cans must not be subjected to heat above 50°C and 

explosion prevention : must not be opened with force (TRG 300, Point 6.1.1, Par.1) 

(Technical rules for compressed gases). 

In enclosed rooms, the vapours can form mixtures with 

air which, in the presence of ignition sources, will lead 

to explosion. This can also occur in uncleaned containers. 

Keep away from ignition sources and do not smoke. In the 

case of fire remove containers from the hazardous area. 

Containers threatened by fire should be cooled with water. 

Vapours are heavier than air. 

Storage: 

Requirements of storage rooms Store in a cool location. 

and containers : Provide floors with a solvent-resistant and sealed surface. 

Provide floor catchment tray with no drain outlet. 

Prevent any penetration into the ground. 

Information for mixed storage : Keep separate from oxidizing agents. 

Do not store together with highly flammable solid materials. 

Do not store together with oxidizing or self-igniting 

materials.

Personal protective equipment 

General protective and hygiene measures : Keep away from food, drinks and animal 

feeds. 

Immediately remove contaminated, soaked 

clothing. 

Wash hands before rest breaks and at the end 

of work. 

Do not breathe the gases/vapours/aerosols. 

Prevent contact with the eyes and the skin. 

Do not eat, drink or smoke or take snuff when 

working with the product. 

Breathing protection : If used in enclosed systems or if sufficient room 

ventilation is provided, no breathing protection 

is required. 

In the case of insufficient ventilation use breathing 

apparatus. 

For short-term or low concentrations 

use breathing apparatus; for more intensive or 

longer exposure use self-contained breathing 

apparatus. 

Filter A, brown, org. gases and vapours with boiling 

point >65°C 

Observe the duration of use limits (BGR 190) 

The regulations for the use of breathing apparatus 

should be obtained from BGR 190. 

Hand protection : Chemical-resistant protective gloves. 

The glove material must be impermeable and 

resistant to the product. 

Inspect protective gloves for correct and serviceable 

state before each use. 

Select the glove material taking account of 

penetration cells, permeation rates and the 

degradation. 

Preventative skin protection is recommended 

through the use of skin protection agents.

Glove material: Full contact: 

Gloves made of nitrile rubber. 

Recommended material thickness: >= 0.4mm 

Spray contact: 

Gloves made of butyl rubber. 

Recommended material thickness: >= 0.7mm 

The selection of suitable gloves depends not only 

on the material type, but also on additional 

quality features which differ from manufacturer to 

manufacturer. 

CONSULT WITH THE MANUFACTURER 

REGARDING SUITABLE MATERIALS! 

Penetration time for the glove material: Full contact: 

Permeation time: > 480min (8h) EN 374 

Spray contact: 

Permeation time: > 30min < 60min (1h) 

The exact penetration time should be determined by 

the protective glove manufacturer and must be 

observed. The time data are reference values. 

Increased temperatures due to heated substances, 

body heat, etc. and a reduction of the layer 

thickness due to stretching can lead to a reduction 

in the penetration time. 

With a layer thickness that is increased/reduced by 

a factor of 1.5 times, the respective penetration time 

is doubled/halved. 

Gloves made of the following materials are not suitable: 

Gloves made of thick material 

Gloves made of leather 

Gloves made of butyl rubber with a material 

thickness < 0.7 mm 

Gloves made of natural rubber (latex) 

Gloves made of PVC 

Eye protection : Tight-fitting goggles. 

Skin and body protection : Solvent-resistant protective clothing 

Antistatic protective clothing 

Flame-retardant protective clothing 

Hygiene measures : Keep away from food, drinks and animal 

feeds. Wash hands before rest breaks and at the end 

of work. Do not breathe the gases/vapours/ 

aerosols. Prevent contact with the eyes and the 

skin. Do not eat or drink when working.
