First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove from exposure, lie down. Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Immediate medical attention is required.
Symptoms: Difficulty in breathing
Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated clothes and shoes. Immediate medical attention is required.
Immediate medical attention is required. Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes.
Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician immediately.
Symptoms: Ingestion causes severe swelling, severe damage to the delicate tissue and danger of perforation
Immediate Medical Attention
Immediate medical attention is required.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically. Possible perforation of stomach or esophagus should be investigated.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Water spray. Carbon dioxide (CO₂). Dry chemical. Chemical foam. Water mist may be used to cool closed containers.
No information available
Flammable. Containers may explode when heated. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back.
Firefighter Protection
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
See Section 12 for additional Ecological Information.
Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust). Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.
Materials: sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Do not breathe mist/vapors/spray. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Handle product only in closed system or provide appropriate exhaust ventilation. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Use only non-sparking tools. Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
Keep in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Flammables area. Corrosives area.
Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing.
Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. Use explosion-proof electrical/ventilating/lighting equipment.
Wear appropriate protective gloves
Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European Standard EN166.
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced.
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin exposure.
