7. Handling and storage
Information for safe handling:
Information about storage in one common storage
facility:
Water, carbon dioxide, foam, dry extinguishing powder.
Use breathing apparatus.
The debris and contaminated extinguishing water must be disposed according to local
regulations.
None in particular.
Do not empty into drains.
Small quantities: collect with appropriate means and wash thoroughly with water.
Large quantities: collect with appropriate means and wash thoroughly with water.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. It is necessary to observe the usual precautionary measures
for handling the chemicals.
Further information about storage conditions: Store containers tightly closed in a cool and dry
place.
8. Exposure controls/personal protection
Skin protection:
You should select the appropriate protective clothing for the activity and exposure, for
example. Apron, boots and clothing (DIN-EN 465).
Hand protection:
Suitable protective gloves for chemicals (EN 374) even for prolonged direct contact
(Recommendation: protection index 6, corresponding to a breakthrough time > 480 minutes
according to EN 374): e.g. nitrilocaucciù (0.4 mm), chlorinated rubber (0.5 mm), PVC (0.7
mm) and more.
Further information: Data are based on our test data and bibliographic information from
glove manufacturers or derive from substances similar in composition. We must also consider
that several factors (e.g. temperature) that impact during the use of a glove protection
against chemical agents, may affect to much lower breakthrough time than the established
one.
Eye protection: Safety glasses with side shields (goggles cage) (e.g. EN 166).
Body protection:
Please observe the usual precautionary measures for handling the chemicals.

11. Toxicological information
Irritation:
Sensitization:
Acute toxicity:
Mutagenicity:
Eyes: not irritant (rabbit).
Skin: not irritant (rabbit).
Not sensitizing.
Oral: LD-50: > 20000 mg/kg (rat)
Inhalat.: LC-50: > 2,06 mg/kg (rat), 4 h
Inhalation risk test (IRT): inhalation of a vapour-air mixture has not a highly saturated acute risk
(no mortality within 8 hours).
There was no mutagenic effect in various experiments on bacteria and in on most
mammalian cell cultures that were examined. Even in experiments on animals was no
mutagenic effect. Animal tests have shown no fetal damage.
12. Ecological information
Use product with good working habits and do not allow it, to reach ground water, water course or sewage system.
Persistence and degradability:
BOD (ThOD): 80 -90 % (28 days) - readily biodegradable.
Eco-toxicity: LC50: Oryzias latipes: > 10000 mg / l (48 h)
The test was performed above the maximum solubility. Signs of toxic action are refered to the
nominal concentration.
EC50: Desmodesmus subspicatus: > 100 mg/l (72 h)
Microorganisms / Effect on activated sludge:
EC50: active sludge: > 700 mg (0.5 h / l),
Probably the product is not harmful to aquatic organisms.
The correct placing of low concentrations in biological treatment plant should not affect the
activity of degradation of activated sludge.
13. Disposal considerations
Follow with local officials. Recover if possible. Send to authorized disposal plants or for incineration under controlled conditions. Operate according to
existing local and national regulations.
The unclean packaging must be disposed of as the product.
