First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration Consult a physician.
Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a physician.
Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth with water. Consult a physician.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
Firefighter Protection
Wear self contained breathing apparatus for fire fighting if necessary.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Evacuate personnel to safe areas.
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Discharge into the environment must be avoided.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation of vapour or mist.
Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Contents under pressure. Refrigerate before opening.
Normal measures for preventive fire protection.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Handle with gloves.
Safety glasses
Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face respirator with multi-purpose combination (US) or type AXBEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
Choose body protection according to the amount and concentration of the dangerous substance at the work place.
