First-aid measures
First-aid measures general : Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Remove person to uncontaminated area.
First-aid measures after inhalation : Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing. If experiencing respiratory
symptoms: Call a poison center or a doctor.
First-aid measures after skin contact : After contact with skin, take off immediately all contaminated clothing, and wash immediately.
with plenty of water and soap. If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention.
First-aid measures after eye contact : In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice.
First-aid measures after ingestion : Do not induce vomiting because of corrosive effects. Rinse mouth. Get medical
advice/attention.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed : If exposed or if you feel unwell, call a doctor. Place the victim in the recovery position.

Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media : Cover with firefighting foam. Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Fire hazard : Toxic and corrosive vapours are released.
Hazardous decomposition products in case of fire : Carbon oxides (CO, CO2). Brominated derivatives.
Precautionary measures fire : Exercise caution when fighting any chemical fire. Do not breathe fumes from fires or vapours
from decomposition. Evacuate area.
Firefighting instructions : Fight fire from safe distance and protected location. Use water spray or fog for cooling exposed
containers.
Protection during firefighting : Do not enter fire area without proper protective equipment, including respiratory protection.
Self-contained breathing apparatus.
Other information : Large amounts of the product should not be allowed to enter drains or water courses or be
deposited where it can affect ground or surface waters.

Accidental release measures
General measures : Contain the spilled material by bunding.
For non-emergency personnel - Emergency procedures : If a major spill occurs, all personnel should be immediately evacuated and the area ventilated.
For emergency responders - Protective equipment : Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye or face protection. Use self-contained breathing apparatus.
Environmental precautions : Dispose of at a licensed waste collection centre. Do not discharge into drains or the environment.
For containment : Soak up spills with inert solids, such as clay or diatomaceous earth as soon as possible. Contain the spilled material by bunding. Sweep or shovel spills into appropriate container for disposal.
Methods for cleaning up : Wash away remainder with plenty of water.
Other information : Use non-corrodable disposal containers.
