* Ingestion: Rinse mouth out with water. Seek medical advice.

* Emergency equipment: Provide wash facilities for eyes and skin near work area.  

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media:

* Suitable: Carbon dioxide, dry chemicals, foam, water spray (mist). Use media appropriate for surrounding fire.

* Exposure hazards: High temperatures may liberate toxic or corrosive gases. Do not breathesmoke or vapours.

* Protective equipment for fire-fighters: Self contained breathing apparatus. Wear suitable protective clothing.

Accidental release measures

* Personal precautions: Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection. Isolate the sources of the spill(s) leak(s) and evacuate all personnel from danger area.

* Environmental precautions: Take up small spills with dry chemical absorbent. Large spills may be taken up with pump or vacuum and finished off with dry chemical absorbent. Do not empty into drains.

* Methods for cleaning up: Residue may be washed down with water. Shovel up residues and place in a labelled sealable container for subsequent safe disposal. Put leaking container into a labelled drum or overdrum.

Handling and storage

* Handling: Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
