After eye contact: rinse out with plenty of water. Immediately call in ophthalmologist.
After swallowing: make victim drink water (two glasses at most). Consult doctor if feeling unwell.
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media: Water, Carbon dioxide (CO₂), Foam, Dry powder
Unsuitable extinguishing media: For this substance/mixture no limitations of extinguishing agents are given.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:
