First-aid measures
- General advice:
If threatening unconsciousness, position and transport in recovery position
Remove contaminated clothing immediately and dispose it safely.
Adhere to personal protective measures when giving first aid.
In case of breathing difficulties give oxygen.
- After inhalation:
Remove the casualty into fresh air and keep him immobile.
Seek medical treatment immediately.
In case of respiratory standstill give artificial respiration by respirator and send for a doctor.
- After skin contact:
In case of contact with skin wash off immediately with soap and water.
Remove contaminated clothing immediately, even underwear and shoes.
- After eye contact:
In case of contact with eyes rinse thoroughly with plenty of water and seek medical advice.
- After swallowing:
Call for a doctor immediately.
Provide for plenty of water to be drunken in small gulps (dilution effect). Additionally medical
charcoal tablets should be given (1 spoon of medical charcoal suspension in a glass of water).

Inhalation of dangerous decomposing products may cause severe damages to health.
keep people away and stay on the upwind side.
Fire residues and contaminated firefighting water must be disposed of in accordance with the
local regulations.
Accidental release measures
- Person-related safety precautions:
Ensure adequate ventilation.
Use personal protective clothing.
Keep away sources of ignition.
Use breathing apparatus if exposed to vapors/dust/aerosol.
- Measures for environmental protection:
Collect contaminated water/firefighting water separately.
Do not discharge into the drains/surface waters/groundwater.
Suppress gases/vapors/mists with water spray jet
- Measures for cleaning/collecting:
Take up with absorbent material (e.g. sand, acid binder, general-purpose binder, sawdust).
Send in suitable containers for recovery or disposal.
Handling and storage
This substance is handled under Strictly Controlled Conditions in accordance with REACH regulation Article 17(3) for on-site isolated intermediates and, in case the substance is transported to other sites for further processing, the substance should be handled at these sites under the Strictly Controlled Conditions as specified in REACH regulation Article 18(4). Site documentation to support safe handling arrangements including the selection of engineering, administrative and personal protective equipment controls in accordance with risk-based management systems is available at each manufacturing site.
