- Ingestion : Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If you feel unwell, seek medical advice.

Note to physician : Treat symptomatically. Repeated or prolonged skin contact may cause irritation.

Fire-fighting measures

Flammable class : Not classified as flammable but will burn.

Hazardous combustion products : Carbon monoxide. Carbon dioxide.

Extinguishing media : Foam. Water spray. Dry powder. Carbon dioxide. Sand. Do not use a heavy water stream.

Surrounding fires : Use water spray or fog for cooling exposed containers.

Protection against fire : Do not enter fire area without proper protective equipment, including respiratory protection. Exercise caution when fighting any chemical fire.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions : Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Do not breathe dust. Do not breathe vapour. Equip cleanup crew with proper protection.

Technical measures : Avoid the generation of airborne dust. Eliminate every possible source of ignition.

Take precautionary measures against static discharges.

Environmental precautions : Prevent entry to sewers and public waters.

Notify authorities if product enters sewers or public waters.

Clean up methods : Do not use water for cleaning. Collect spills and put it into appropriated container.
