Precautionary statements
Prevention
P201 Obtain special instructions before use.
P273 Avoid release to the environment.
P280 Wear protective gloves/ protective clothing/ eye protection/ face protection.
Response
P302 + P352 IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water.
P305 + P351 + P338 IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact
lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.
P309 + P310 IF exposed or if you feel unwell: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or
doctor/physician.

Description of first aid measures
General advice:
First aider needs to protect himself.

After inhalation: fresh air. If breathing stops: immediately apply artificial respiration, if necessary oxygen. Immediately call in physician.After skin contact: wash off with plenty of water. Immediately remove contaminated clothing. If available swab with polyethylene glycol 400. Call a physician immediately.

After eye contact:
rinse out with plenty of water. Immediately call in ophthalmologist. After swallowing: make victim drink water (two glasses at most), avoid vomiting (risk of perforation). Call a physician immediately. Do not attempt to neutralise.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed:
Irritation and corrosion, Allergic reactions, Diarrhoea, Nausea, Vomiting Chromium(VI) is highly toxic. It is absorbed via both the lungs and the gastrointestinal tract.Being strong oxidisers, chromates/ bichromates can cause burns and ulcerations on the skin and mucous membranes and also irritations in the upper respiratory tract. Poorly healing ulcers occur after wound contact. In predisposed persons the substance rapidly leads to sensitisation and allergic reactions of the respiratory tract (risk of pneumonia!) and damage to nasal mucous membranes (under given circumstances perforation of the septum). After swallowing severe symptoms in the gastrointestinal tract such as bloody diarrhoea, vomiting (aspiration pneumonia!), spasms, circulatory collapse, unconsciousness, formation of methaemoglobin. Absorption may result in hepatic and renal damage. Inhalable chromium(VI) compounds gave clear evidence to be carcinogenic in animal experiments. Lethal dos(man): 0.5g. Antidotes: chelating agents such as EDTA, DMPS (Demaval®)

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed: No information available.

Extinguishing media:
Suitable extinguishing media:

Advice for firefighters:
Special protective equipment for firefighters Stay in danger area only with self-contained breathing apparatus. Prevent skin contact by keeping a safe distance or by wearing suitable protective clothing. Further informationSuppress (knock down) gases/vapours/mists with a water spray jet. Prevent fire extinguishing water from contaminating surface water or the ground water system.
 

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
Advice for non-emergency personnel: Avoid substance contact. Do not breathe vapours,
aerosols. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate the danger area, observe emergency
procedures, consult an expert.

Advice for emergency responders:
Protective equipment see section 8.

Individual protection measures
Protective clothing needs to be selected specifically for the workplace, depending on
concentrations and quantities of the hazardous substances handled. The chemical resistance of
the protective equipment should be enquired at the respective supplier.
Eye/face protection
Tightly fitting safety goggles

Hand protection:

The protective gloves to be used must comply with the specifications of EC Directive 89/686/EEC and the related standard EN374, for example KCL 890 Vitoject® (full contact), KCL 730 Camatril® -Velours (splash contact). The breakthrough times stated above were determined by KCL in laboratory tests acc. to EN374 with samples of the recommended glove types. This recommendation applies only to the product stated in the safety data sheet<(>,<)> supplied by us and for the designated use. When dissolving in or mixing with other substances and under conditions deviating from those stated in EN374 please contact the supplier of CE-approved gloves
