	Description of first aid measures
	Take care of your own safety. If any health problems are manifested or if in 
	doubt, inform a doctor and show him information from this safety data sheet. 
	If unconscious, put the person in the stabilized (recovery) position on his 
	side with his head slightly bent backwards and make sure that airways 
	are free; never induce vomiting. If the person vomits by himself, make sure 
	that the vomit is not inhaled. In life threatening conditions first of all 
	provide resuscitation of the affected person and ensure medical assistance. 
	Respiratory arrest - provide artificial respiration immediately. Cardiac 
	arrest - provide indirect cardiac massage
	immediately.
	Terminate the exposure immediately; move the affected person to fresh air. 
	Protect the person against growing cold. Provide medical treatment if 
	irritation, dyspnoea or other symptoms persist.
	Remove contaminated clothes. Wash the affected area with plenty of water, 
	lukewarm if possible. Soap, soap
	solution or shampoo should be used if there is no skin injury. 
	Provide medical treatment if skin irritation
	persists.
Do 
	not rub your eyes – it could lead to mechanical damage of the cornea. Rinse 
	eyes immediately with a flow of running water, open the eyelids (also using 
	force if needed); remove contact lenses immediately if worn by the affected 
	person. No neutralization should be performed in any case! Rinsing should be 
	continued for 10-30 minutes from the inner to the outer eye corner to make 
	sure that the other eye is not involved. Depending on the situation, call 
	medical rescue service or ensure medical treatment as promptly as possible. 
	Everyone must be referred for treatment even if affected only a little.
	Provide medical treatment.
	Inhaling dust can cause corrosion of the breathing system.
	Causes skin irritation.
	Causes serious eye damage.
	Corrosion of the digestion system can occur.
	Symptomatic treatment.
	
	
	5.1.      
	
	Extinguishing 
	media Suitable extinguishing 
	media
	Alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide, powder, water 
	spray jet, water mist.
	Water - full jet.
In 
	the event of fire, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other toxic gases may 
	arise. Inhalation of hazardous degradation (pyrolysis) products may cause 
	serious health damage.
	Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) with a chemical 
	protection suit only where personal (close) contact
	is likely. Use a self-contained breathing apparatus and full-body 
	protective clothing. Do not allow run-off
	of  contaminated fire 
	extinguishing material to enter drains or surface and ground
	water.
	
	
	6.1.      
	
	Personal precautions, protective equipment and 
	emergency procedures
May 
	be corrosive to metals. Use personal protective equipment for work. Follow 
	the instructions in the Sections 7 
	and
8. 
	Prevent contact with skin and eyes.
	Prevent contamination of the soil and entering surface or ground water.
	Place the product mechanically in an appropriate manner. Dispose of the 
	collected material according to the instructions in the section 13. Absorb 
	spillage to prevent material damage.
	See the Section 7, 8 and 13.
	
	7.1.      
	
	Precautions for safe handling
	Prevent contact with skin and eyes. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using 
	this product. Wash hands and exposed parts of the body thoroughly after 
	handling. Use personal protective equipment as per Section 8. Observe valid 
	legal regulations on safety and health protection.
	Store in tightly closed containers in cold, dry and well ventilated areas 
	designated for this purpose. Do not expose to sunlight. Keep only in 
	original container.

	Follow the usual measures intended for health protection at work and 
	especially for good ventilation. This can be achieved only by local suction 
	or efficient general ventilation. Do not eat, drink and smoke during work. 
	Wash your hands thoroughly with water and soap after work and before breaks 
	for a meal and rest.
	Protective goggles or face shield (based on the nature of the work 
	performed).
	Hand protection: Protective gloves resistant to the product. When choosing 
	appropriate thickness, material and permeability of the gloves, observe 
	recommendations of their particular manufacturer. Observe other 
	recommendations of the manufacturer. Other protection: protective workwear. 
	Contaminated skin should be washed thoroughly.
Use
