First-aid measures

If you feel unwell, seek medical attention and show the label when possible. Get medical attention immediately.  Wash out mouth with water.

If material has been swallowed and the exposed person is conscious, give small quantities of water to drink.  Do not induce vomiting.  

Chemical burns must be treated promptly by a physician. Flush contaminated skin with plenty of water. Wash contaminated clothing thoroughly

with water before removing it, or wear gloves.  Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids.  Check for and remove any contact lenses.  Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes.  

Fire-fighting measures

In case of fire, use water spray (fog), foam, dry chemical or CO2. Do not use water jet.

In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst.

Put on appropriate personal protective equipment.

Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers.

Absorb with an inert material.
