Call a physician.

If swallowed :

If swallowed, wash out mouth with water. Call a physician.

Fire-fighting measures

- Suitable extinguishing media:

Water spray, Carbon dioxide, Dry chemical powder, or appropriate foam.

- Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.

Hazardous decomposition products may be formed under fire conditions (see section 10). Exposure to decomposition products may be a hazard to health.

- Advice for fire fighter:

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes.

Further information : Standard procedure for chemical fires. Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment. In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes.

Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately.

This must not be discharged into drains. Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.

Accidental release measures

- Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Exercise appropriate precautions to minimize direct contact with skin or eyes and prevent inhalation of dust.

- Environmental precautions:

Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.

- Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:

Sweep up, place in a bag and hold for waste disposal. Avoid raising dust. Ventilate area and wash spill site after material pickup is complete.

Handling and storage

- Precautions for safe handling:

Advice on safe handling :

Avoid breathing vapor. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure.

Advice on protection against fire and explosion:

Normal measures for preventive fire protection. Take precautionary measures against static discharge.

Use explosion-proof equipment.
