Repeated skin contact may result in sensitisation (allergy)

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed:

Sympotomatic treatment is advised following exposure to the substance.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable Extinguishing media:

For small fires, dry chemical powder, foam, carbon dioxide and sand are recommended.

For large fires, foam extinguishing media are recommended.

Extinguishing media not to be used: Water may expand fire.

Advice for firefighters:

Fire fighters should wear breathing apparatus and fight fire from windward.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Prohibit entering the area around the leakage and keep away unrelated people.

Take shelter to windward.

Prepare appropriate extinguishing equipment to be ready for the case of ignition and contact.

Quickly remove ignition source, prepare extinguishing media.

Environmental precautions:

Pay attention not to cause effect to the environment by releasing product to the rivers.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:

Advice on containment of spillage: Stop the source of leak or release. Clean up spill as soon as possible, using appropriate techniques such as sorbent materials or pumping. Collect spill and place in suitable container for disposal.

Advice on clean up of spillage: Wash contaminated surfaces with water and detergent, and collect washings for safe disposal.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling:

Recommendations for safe handling:
