In the event of splashes or contact with skin :
Remove contaminated clothing and wash the skin thoroughly with soap and water or a recognised cleaner.
Watch out for any remaining product between skin and clothing, watches, shoes, etc.
If the contaminated area is widespread and/or there is damage to the skin, a doctor must be consulted or the patient transferred to hospital.

.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
A fire will often produce a thick black smoke. Exposure to decomposition products may be hazardous to health. Do not breathe in smoke.
In the event of a fire, the following may be formed :
- carbon monoxide (CO)
- carbon dioxide (CO2)
.3. Advice for firefighters
Due to the toxicity of the gas emitted on thermal decomposition of the products,
fire-fighting personnel are to be equipped with autonomous insulating breathing apparatus.
Accidental release measures
.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Consult the safety measures listed under sections " Handling and Storage" and " Exposure controls / Personal Protection".
For non first aid worker
Avoid any contact with the skin and eyes. Avoid inhaling dust.
If a large quantity has been spilt, evacuate all personnel and only allow intervention by trained operators equipped with safety apparatus.
For first aid worker
First aid workers will be equipped with suitable personal protective equipment (See section "Exposure controls / Personal Protection").
.2. Environmental precautions
Prevent any material from entering drains or waterways.
.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
