First-aid measures
Description of first aid measures:
Pay attention to self-protection.
Remove victims from hazardous area.
Immediately remove soiled or soaked clothing and remove it to a safe distance.
Keep victim warm, in a stabilized position and covered.
Do not leave victims unattended.
If the casualty is unconscious: Place the victim in the recovery position.
Inhalation:
Potential for exposure by inhalation if aerosols or mists are generated.
Move victims into fresh air.
With labored breathing: Provide with oxygen. Consult a doctor.
If the casualty is not breathing: Perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, notify emergency physician immediately.
Skin contact:
Wash off affected area immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
If symptoms persist, consult a physician for treatment.
Eye contact:
With eye held open, thoroughly rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 10 minutes.
Consult an ophthalmologist immediately if the symptoms persist.
Ingestion:
Rinse mouth.
Immediately give large quantities of water to drink.
Obtain medical attention.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed:
Symptoms:
Irritation of skin and mucous membranes.
Hazards:
Irritant effects.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed:
The initial focus is only on the local action, possibly characterized by a progressive tissue irritation.
In the eye, irritating liquids cause, depending on the intensity of exposure, irritation of the conjunctiva and, in exceptional cases, damage to the cornea.
There is a danger of blindness if corneas are damaged!
Superficial irritations and only infrequent damage with ulcerations develop on the skin.
An irritation of the mucous membranes may develop and lead to coughing after inhalation.

Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media:
Suitable extinguishing media:
- Water spray
- Foam
- CO2
- Dry powder.
Unsuitable extinguishing media:
Alkaline agent.
Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:
In the case of fire, the following hazardous smoke fumes may be produced:
- Carbon monoxide
- Carbon dioxide
- Organic products of decomposition
- Sulphur oxides.
Advice for firefighters:
Contaminated extinguishing water must be treated at a suitable disposal plant in accordance with waste management laws.
Water used to extinguish fire should not enter drainage systems, soil or stretches of water.
In case of fire, remove the endangered containers and bring to a safe place, if this can be done safely.
Use water spray to cool unopened containers.
Fire residues should be disposed of in accordance with the regulations.
Pay attention to self-protection.
Keep out unprotected persons.
In case of fire: full protective suit and wear a self contained respiratory apparatus.
