First-aid measures

[Eye contact]

Check for and remove any contact lenses. Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Consult a physician.

[Skin contact]

Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water removing all contaminated clothes and shoes. If the appearance of the exposed skin has changed or pain persists, medical treatment should be arranged. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.

[Inhalation]

Move to fresh air. In case of shortness of breath, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Call a physician immediately.

[Ingestion]

Rinse mouth. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician immediately.

[Notes to physician]

Treat symptomatically

Fire-fighting measures

[Suitable extinguishing media]

Use dry chemical, CO2, water spray or "alcohol" foam

[Special protective equipment for firefighters]

Wear personal protective equipment.

[Specific methods]

Fire-extinguishing work is done from the windward and the suitable fire-extinguishing method according to the surrounding situation is used. Uninvolved persons should evacuate to a safe place. Immediately remove all sources of combustion. Measures should be taken to contain the water-discharge for fire-fighting lest those substances which affect the environment should leak. Cool containing vessels with water jet in order to prevent pressure build-up, autoignition or explosion.

Accidental release measures

[Personal precautions]

Use personal protective equipment. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Ensure adequate ventilation.

Entry to non-involved personnel should be controlled around the leakage area by roping off, etc..

Fire-extinguishing devices should be prepared in case of a fire.

[Environmental precautions]

Do not let product enter drains.

[Methods for cleaning up]

Dam up. Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. dry sand or earth), then place in a chemical waste container.

Consult federal, state, and/or local authorities for assistance on disposal.

Handling and storage

[Handling]

Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Provide sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms.

Wear personal protective equipment. Do not breathe vapours or spray mist. Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge.

Use explosion-proof equipment. Wash hands and face before breaks and immediately after handling the product.

[Safe handling advice]

Handle with caution and minimize exposure.

[Storage]

Keep container tightly closed. Store in a cool and shaded area. Keep away from heat.

[Materials to avoid]

oxidising agents
