Eye contact: Rinse opened eye for several minutes under running water. Then consult doctor.

Swallowing: Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek immediate medical advice.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing Media: Suitable extinguishing agents: Use carbon dioxide, sand or extinguishing powder or water jet. For larger fire use water

jet or alcohol resistant foam.

Special hazards caused by the material, its products of combustion or flue gases: Can be released in case of fire. Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), Hydrogen Chloride (HCl)

Precautions for fire fighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear full protective suit.

Further information: Use water spray to cool un opened containers.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Wear protective equipment. Keep unprotected persons away. Ensure adequate ventilation.

Environmental precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains. Discharge into the environment must be avoided. Do not allow material to be released to the environment without proper governmental permits.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Avoid dust formation. Contain spillage, vacuum / sweep and place in suitable container

for disposal according to local / national regulations. Dispose of contaminated material according to local / national regulations.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling: Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use. Keep containers tightly sealed. Store in cool, dry place in tightly closed containers. Ensure good ventilation/exhaustion at the workplace. Open and handle container with care.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Keep ignition sources away – Do not smoke. Store in cool location. Store away from oxidising agents. Keep container tightly sealed. Protect from humidity, and keep away from water. Product will pick up moisture if exposed to the atmosphere.
