Handling AdBlue
®29
AdBlue consists primarily of water (approx.
67.5% water and 32.5% urea). The fluid is
not flammable but should be handled with
care since it can irritate the eyes and skin.
Points to remember when handling
Avoid inhaling vapour as well as contact with
skin and eyes. Preferably use gloves that pre-
vent irritation to sensitive skin when handling
the fluid.
WARNING
Action for first aid:
•
For inhalation - get fresh air.
•
For skin contact - wash the skin with
soap and water.
•
For contact with the eyes - rinse imme-
diately with a lot of water.
•
For ingestion - rinse the mouth thor-
oughly. Do not induce vomiting.
Seek medical attention if the discomfort
remains or if a large quantity has been
ingested.
Action in the event of a spill
AdBlue spilled on the ground, the car or pain-
ted surfaces must be rinsed thoroughly with
water. Avoid releasing into the drainage sys-
tem.
Storage
AdBlue must be stored in tightly sealing origi-
nal packaging at a temperature above -11 °C
(12 °F) and below 30 °C (86 °F). The fluid
must not be stored in direct sunlight.
AdBlue freezes at -11 °C (12 °F) but can be
used again when the solution has thawed.
