IDENTIFICATION OF THE MIXTURE

PLATINAGE S (code: 13012)

or PLATINUM (code: DPM 9040)
USE OF THE MIXTURE
This solution is used at ambient temperature for carrying out a coating of platinum using the selective brush plating
process.
As this process is applied locally without immersion of the part and just where it is necessary, only small quantities of solution
are stored or used.

INHALATION
Theoretically, not applicable. Under abnormal conditions of use causing considerable inhalation, remove the casualty from
the contaminated area, let him take a rest in a well-ventilated room and seek immediate medical advice.
INGESTION
Do not give anything to drink. Do not try to induce vomiting. Call medical service to transfer immediately into hospital.
PROTECTION OF THE FIRST-AIDERS
Wear gloves and goggles and according to the situation, protective clothes and shoes or a mask.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
5 - FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Dry ice, extinguishing powder.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA WHICH SHALL NOT BE USED
Avoid water.
SPECIFIC HAZARDS
Dangerous thermal decomposition products:
Boiling point of the platinum salt at around 130C. Decomposition products are notably nitrogen oxides, sulphur oxides and
platinum oxide.
Although the material is not flammable, the residue, ash or char left after a fire, may have catalytic properties and may
promote the re-ignition of flammable materials and vapours.
Prevent any material from entering drains or waterways or soil. The contaminated extinguishing agents must be treated
and eliminated in accordance with regulations.
PROTECTION OF THE FIRE-FIGHTERS
Because of the substances produced during thermal decomposition, use approved self-contained breathing equipment and
protective clothing in case of intervention.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
Avoid contact with the skin, clothes and eyes: wear gloves and glasses and if needed a FFP3 mask or a B2E2P3 cartridge
in case of sprays or vapours.
Dispose of all contaminated clothing or shoes and wash thoroughly with water.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
Do not allow the product to be thrown away. Recover as much as possible for processing within the firm or by an approved
centre.
METHODS FOR CLEANING UP
With water to remove all non-recoverable product. Collect the recoverable rinsing water for processing within the firm or by
an approved centre.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING
Use as supplied. Close containers (of PE) tightly after use with the original cap. Do not re-use containers with another
product.
STORAGE
Store on a spill-retaining vat in a room, away from metals, strong alkaline products, from ammonium salts and cyanides,
reducing or combustible chemicals and from organic compounds. Keep in tightly closed original containers only, between 5
and 30C, away from direct sunlight and heat. The maximum recommended shelf life is THREE years from the date of
manufacture under normal conditions of storage.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
EXPOSURE CONTROLS
TECHNICAL MEASURES
Store in a locked cabinet or with access restricted to designated technicians.
No drinking, eating or smoking on the workplace.
Maintain the premises and the workstations in perfect state of cleanliness and clean them frequently.
Observe a strict cutaneous hygiene and change clothes after work.
Check periodically that the limit values below are not reached. They depend on the treatment time, the surface area treated
and on the quality of the workshop air extraction.
During brush electrolysis, even if the product is used during a short time at room temperature, it is important to protect the
respiratory system and to avoid contact with skin.

created and extraction out of the premises, and if insufficient, wear a filtering FFP3 mask (EN 149:2001 standard) or a
B2E2P3 cartridge (EN 405:2002 standard).
Hand protection: wear gloves (preferably of CVP, neoprene and possibly of latex or nitrile).

10 - STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
-

STABILITY
Good at room temperature with water evaporation for only risk. Good in humidity.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID
Heat.
MATERIALS TO AVOID
Avoid contact with alkaline, reducing or combustible products and with metals. Reacts with many organic or inorganic
chemicals.
HAZARDOUS THERMAL DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS
Notably fumes of oxides (of sulphur, nitrogen and platinum).
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
No data are available regarding the mixture. The evaluation of health hazards has been realised thanks to
applicable regulations and bibliographical data.
Whatever the way of administration, Platinum salts provoke important vomiting. Risks of comas and convulsions.
To the best of our knowledge the acute and chronic toxicity of the platinum salt contained in this mixture is not fully known.
There is also no classification data on carcinogenic properties available from the EPA, IARC, NTP, OSHA or ACGIH.
SKIN
IRRITANT. Can cause more or less serious irritations or burns according to the length of contact if decontamination with
water is not quickly achieved. May also cause recurring eczemas on some sensitive people.
EYE MUCOSA
IRRITANT. Can cause burns and lesions in case of contact if decontamination with water is not quickly achieved.
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
May cause sensitisation by inhalation (asthma, rhinitis) on some sensitive people.
IN CASE OF INGESTION
Probably HARMFUL. Nausea and vomiting, serious risks. Swallowing will lead to a strong caustic effect on mouth and
throat and to the danger of perforation of oesophagus and stomach.
