First-aid measures
- General advice:
Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand-valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR as necessary. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention.
- Following inhalation: Remove from exposure source.Take the person to a well aerated place and keep calm. Seek medical advice. In case of confinated area, keep it well ventilated. Following skin contact: Take off contaminated clothes and wash with soap and plenty of water all the contaminated parts of the body. In case of irritation, seek medical advice.
- Following eye contact: Immediately wash with copious amounts of water for 15 minutes at least. Seek medical advice.
- Following ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration.

Fire-fighting measures
- Suitable extinguishing media:
Water. Foam. Dry powder. Carbon dioxide. (Collect the contaminated water to avoid reaching of sewers or water courses.)
- Unsuitable extinguishing media: water and foam together.
- Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture: Hazardous decomposition products formed under fire conditions - Carbon oxides. The substance emits toxic vapors, acrid smoke and irritating fumes when heated. Finely dispersed particles form explosive mixtures in air.
- Advice for fire fighter: Fire-fighters should wear proper protective equipment and self-contained (positive pressure if available) breathing apparatus with full face piece.

Accidental release measures
- Personal precautions:
Evacuate danger area.
- Protective equipment and emergency procedures: in case of spillage, wear complete protective clothing, personal protection equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus, if the case.
- Environmental precautions: Stop leaks if possible and safe. Contain spillage by any means available. Cover drains. Do not allow to enter into soil/subsoil. Do not empty into drains or the aquatic environment
- Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Do NOT wash away into sewer. Collect leaking and spilled substance in sealable containers as far as possible and dispose as a hazardous waste.

Handling and storage
- Precautions for safe handling:
Do not eat, smoke or drink during use or in the workplace. After use keep the packaging well closed.Dangerous areas must be delimited and marked with appropriate warning and safety signs. Working areas must be arranged in such a manner that they can be cleaned at all times.
Handle in a well ventilated area or wear adequate respiratory protection (anti-dust mask).
Keep in sealed containers away from humidity and sunlight. Store the product in a well ventilated warehouse. Keep out of the reach of children, animal and unauthorised people. Keep away from food, drink and feeding stuff.
Technical measures: Adopt measures to prevent dust formation.
All work processes must always be designed so that the following is excluded: Inhalation. Skin contact. Eye contact.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes wearing working clothes, gloves and protective glasses
Measures required to protect the environment Cover drains. Do not allow to enter into soil/subsoil. Do not empty into drains or the aquatic environment. Specific requirements or handling rules: The floor should be leak tight, jointless and not absorbent. Do not transport with/using compressed air
- Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Keep well closed and protected from light. Store separated from strong oxidants, strong bases. The substance should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated place, but out of direct rays of the sun, away from areas of high fire hazard, should be periodically inspected.
Keep in locked storage or only make accessible to specialists or their authorized assistants. Keep container tightly closed. Keep/Store only in original container.
