First-aid measures

Description of first aid measures

If inhaled : If inhaled

Move to fresh air.

If not breathing, give artificial respiration.

If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.

In case of bluish discoloration (lips, ear lobes, fingernails), give oxygen as quickly as possible.

If symptoms persist, call a physician.

In case of skin contact :

Wash off with soap and water.

Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.

Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.

Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.

In case of eye contact :

Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water, also under the eyelids.

If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.

If swallowed : If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting.

Consult a physician if necessary.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media :

Carbon dioxide (CO2)

Dry powder

Foam

Alcohol-resistant foam

Water mist

Unsuitable extinguishing media: Water

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Specific hazards during fire fighting: Burning produces noxious and toxic fumes.

Advice for firefighters

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

Use personal protective equipment.

Further information : In the event of fire, cool tanks with water spray.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Personal precautions : Use personal protective equipment.

Ensure adequate ventilation.

Environmental precautions : Should not be released into the environment.

Do not contaminate water.

Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up

Methods for cleaning up : Contain spillage, soak up with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite)

and transfer to a container for disposal according to local / national regulations.

Reference to other sections

Forms slippery/greasy layers with water.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Advice on safe handling : Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

Keep container closed when not in use.
