First-aid measures
- First-aid measures after inhalation:
Remove to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Call a POISON CENTER/doctor if you feel unwell.
- First-aid measures after skin contact:
IF ON SKIN: Gently wash with plenty of soap and water. Call a physician immediately. Remove/Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. If skin irritation or rash occurs: Get immediate medical advice/attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
- First-aid measures after eye contact:
IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Get medical advice/attention.
- First-aid measures after ingestion:
Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician immediately.
- Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
No additional information available
- Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions).
Fire-fighting measures
- Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media:

No additional information available
Accidental release measures
- Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
For non-emergency personnel
Emergency procedures : Evacuate unnecessary personnel.
- For emergency responders
Protective equipment : Wear personal protection equipment.
Personal protective equipment: Refer to “Exposure controls / personal protection.
Emergency procedures : Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothes. Keep away from sources of ignition. Provide adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing mist/vapour
- Environmental precautions
Do not allow uncontrolled discharge of product into the environment. Retain contaminated washing water and dispose it.
- Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Measures to prevent aerosol and dust generation Isolate leaked material using non-flammable absorption agent (e.g. sand, earth, vermiculit, diatomaceous earth) and collect it for disposal in appropriate containers in accordance with the local regulations. Do not allow to enter into groundwater, surface water or drains.
