First-aid measures
Inhalation: Move person into fresh air. Unconscious: maintain adequate airway and respiration. Consult a doctor/medical service if breathing problems develop.
Skin contact: Rinse with water. Soap may be used. Remove contaminated clothes before washing. Consult a doctor/medical service if irritation persists.
Eye contact: First rinse with plenty of water (remove lenses if possible).If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice / attention.
Ingestion: Never give water to an unconscious person. Do not induce vomiting. Consult a doctor/medical service if you feel unwell.

Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media: Alcohol-resistant foam, BC powder, carbon dioxide
Unsuitable extinguishing media: water may be ineffective. Water may spread fire/ Solid water jet ineffective as extinguishing medium

Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
- High gas/vapour concentration: compressed air/oxygen apparatus
- Gas mask with filter type AX
- Gloves (natural rubber, viton)
- Protective goggles
- Head/skin protection
- Heatproof clothing (butyl rubber, viton)
Environmental precautions:
- Prevent spreading in sewers
- Contain released substance, pump over in suitable containers
- Plug the lead, cut off the supply
- Dam up the spill liquid
- Try to reduce evaporation
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
- Advice on spillage containment:
- Damage/cooled tanks must be emptied
- Do not use compressed air for pumping over spills
- Appropriate clean up procedures:
- Take up liquid spill into a non combustible material e.g. dry sand/earth/vermiculite or kieselguhr.
- Scoop absorbed substance into closing containers
- Carefully collect the spill/leftovers
- Take collected spill to manufacture/competent authority.
- Inappropriate containment or clean up techniques: none known.
