Eye contact : Wash immediately, abundantly and thoroughly with water. If irritation persists, consult an ophthalmologist

Ingestion : In case of problems : Consult a doctor

Protection of first-aiders : Wear suitable respiratory equipment. Protective suit

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media : Foam. Dry powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Water spray

Specific hazards : Thermal decomposition giving flammable and toxic products : Sulphur oxides, Carbon oxides

Specific methods : Ensure a system for the rapid emptying of containers. Suppress gases, fumes and/or dust with water spray jet.

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters : Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions :  Evacuate non-essential staff and those not equipped with individual protection apparatus. Use personal protective equipment. Prohibit contact with skin

Environmental precautions : Do not release into the environment. Do not let product enter drains. Dam up with sand or inert earth (do not use combustible materials)
