SECTION 4: First aid measures

4.1 Description of first aid measures

General advice:
First aider needs to protect himself. Move out of dangerous area. Immediately take off contaminated
clothing and rinse body with plenty of water.

Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Use oxygen as required, provided a qualified
operator is present. Call a physician immediately.

Skin contact:

SAFETY DATA SHEET
according to Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006

Sulfuric acid
30743-2.5L
Version 1.4 Revision Date 10.03.2023

Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Take off contaminated clothing and
shoes immediately. Immediate medical treatment is necessary as untreated wounds from corrosion of
the skin heal slowly and with difficulty. Call a physician immediately.

Eye contact:
Protect unharmed eye. Irrigate eyes for at least 15 minutes with copious quantities of water, keeping
eyelids apart and away from eyeballs during irrigation. Small amounts splashed into eyes can cause
irreversible tissue damage and blindness. Call a physician immediately.

Ingestion:
Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water. Magnesium hydroxide (milk of Magnesia)
as an antacid may be given. Do NOT induce vomiting. Call a physician immediately.

4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

No data available

4.3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Treat symptomatically.

SECTION 5: Firefighting measures

5.1. Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media:

Foam
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Dry powder

Extinguishing media which shall not be used for safety reasons:

Water
Do NOT use water jet.
Contact with a relatively small quantity of water creates violent reaction generating much heat and
spattering of hot acid

5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Fire may cause evolution of:

Sulphur oxides
Some risk may be expected of corrosive and toxic decomposition products.
Exposure to decomposition products may be a hazard to health.
Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water spray.
In case of a spillage, the resulting acid solution may attack many metals with liberation of hydrogen
which is flammable and forms explosive mixture with air

5.3. Advice for firefighters

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.

No unprotected exposed skin areas.
Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding
environment.The product itself does not burn.Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately.
This must not be discharged into drains.

SECTION 6: Accidental release measures

6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Wear personal protective equipment. Unprotected persons must be
kept away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Provide adequate ventilation.

6.2. Environmental precautions

Page 5 / 17
SAFETY DATA SHEET
according to Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006

Sulfuric acid
30743-2.5L
Version 1.4 Revision Date 10.03.2023

Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to
do so. If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities. Suppress
(knock down) gases/vapours/mists with a water spray jet.

6.3. Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up

Dilute with water.

Soak up with inert absorbent material.
Pick for disposal in tightly closed containers

6.4. Reference to other sections

For personal protection see section 8.

SECTION 7: Handling and storage

7.1. Precautions for safe handling

Advice on safe handling:
Use only acid resistant equipment. Plan first aid action before beginning work with this product. Always
have on hand a first-aid kit, together with proper instructions. Ventilators required at emission site. Wear
personal protective equipment. When diluting, always add the product to water. Never add water to the
product.

Advice on protection against fire and explosion:

Normal measures for preventive fire protection. In case of a spillage, the resulting acid solution may
attack many metals with liberation of hydrogen which is flammable and forms explosive mixture with air

Hygiene measures:
Separate rooms are required for washing, showering and changing clothes. Contaminated work clothing
should not be allowed out of the workplace. Keep working clothes separately. Take off all contaminated
clothing immediately. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Wash hands before
breaks and at the end of workday. Avoid contact with the skin and the eyes.

7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Further information on storage conditions:

Store in original container. Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place.
Product is hygroscopic. Do not leave vessels/containers open Avoid product residues in/on containers.

Occupational exposure controls

The Personal Protective Equipment must be in accordance with EN standards:respirator EN 136, 140,
149; safety glasses EN 166; protective suit: EN 340, 463, 468, 943-1, 943-2; gloves EN 374, 511;
safety shoes EN-ISO 20345.
Do not breathe vapours or spray mist.

Engineering measures
Use with local exhaust ventilation.
Emergency sprinkling nozzle
acid resisting floor

Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection:
In the case of vapour formation use a respirator with an approved filter.

Hand protection:
Glove material: Viton®
Break through time: > 480 min
Glove thickness: 0,7 mm
Vitoject® 890
Gloves must be inspected prior to use.
Replace when worn.
Remarks:Supplementary note: The specifications are based on information and tests from similar
substances by analogy.
Due to varying conditions ( e.g.temperature or other strains) it must be considered that the usage of a
chemical protective glove in practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined in
accordance with EN 374.
Since actual conditions of practical use often deviate from standardised conditions according EN 374
the glove manufacturer reccomends to use the chemical protective glove in practice not longer than
50% of the recomended permeation time.
Manufacturer´s directions for use should be observed because of great diversity of types .
Suitable gloves tested according EN 374 are supplied e.g. from KCL GmbH, D-36124 Eichenzell,
