On ingestion:
Rinse mouth immediately and then drink plenty of water, seek medical attention. Do not induce
vomiting unless told to by a poison control center or doctor.

Note to physician:
Symptoms: The most important known symptoms and effects are described in the labelling (see
section 2) and/or in section 11.
Treatment: Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions), no known specific
antidote.

5. Fire-Fighting Measures
Suitable extinguishing media:
foam, water spray, dry powder, carbon dioxide

Unsuitable extinguishing media for safety reasons:

water jet

Specific hazards:
carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, harmful vapours, nitrogen oxides, fumes/smoke, carbon black

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. If exposed to fire,
keep containers cool by spraying with water. Collect contaminated extinguishing water separately, do
not allow to reach sewage or effluent systems. Contaminated extinguishing water must be disposed
of in accordance with official regulations.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Personal precautions:
Do not breathe vapour/aerosol/spray mists. Wear eye/face protection. If exposed to high vapour
concentration, leave area immediately. Use personal protective clothing. Handle in accordance with
good building materials hygiene and safety practice.

Environmental precautions:
Contain contaminated water/firefighting water. Do not discharge into drains/surface
waters/groundwater.

Methods for cleaning up or taking up:

For small amounts: Pick up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, earth etc.). Dispose of
contaminated material as prescribed.
For large amounts: Pump off product.

7. Handling and Storage
Handling
Avoid aerosol formation. Avoid inhalation of mists/vapours. Avoid skin contact. No special measures
necessary provided product is used correctly.

Storage

Suitable materials for containers: Low density polyethylene (LDPE), glass, High density polyethylene
(HDPE)
Further information on storage conditions: Keep only in the original container in a cool, dry, well-
ventilated place away from ignition sources, heat or flame. Protect from direct sunlight.

8. Exposure controls and personal protection

Components with occupational exposure limits

2,2',2"-nitrilotriethanol, 102-71-6;
TWA value 5 mg/m3 (ACGIHTLV)
TWA value 5 mg/m3 (OEL (AU))
TWA value 5 mg/m3 (AU NOEL)

Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection:
Wear respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate. Combination filter for gases/vapours of
organic, inorganic, acid inorganic and alkaline compounds (e.g. EN 14387 Type ABEK).

Hand protection:
Suitable chemical resistant safety gloves (EN 374) also with prolonged, direct contact
(Recommended: Protective index 6, corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to
EN 374): E.g. nitrile rubber (0.4 mm), chloroprene rubber (0.5 mm), butyl rubber (0.7 mm) etc.
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 14605 in case of splashes or EN ISO 13982 in case
of dust).

General safety and hygiene measures:

Do not inhale gases/vapours/aerosols. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. Avoid
exposure - obtain special instructions before use. Handle in accordance with good building materials
hygiene and safety practice. Wearing of closed work clothing is recommended. When using, do not
eat, drink or smoke. Hands and/or face should be washed before breaks and at the end of the shift.
At the end of the shift the skin should be cleaned and skin-care agents applied. Gloves must be
inspected regularly and prior to each use. Replace if necessary (e.g. pinhole leaks).
