First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove to fresh air, if unconscious move to recovery position. Seek medical aid.
Symptoms: In low concentrations inhalation may cause narcotic effects. Symptoms may include dizziness, headache, nausea and loss of coordination. Extreme exposure through inhalation may cause asphyxiation, of which victim may not be aware.
Remove contact lens(es) if present and easy to do. Flush with clean water for 10 minutes. Seek medical aid.
Do not induce vomiting. If patient vomits turn to recovery position. Give water to drink. Seek medical aid.

Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Use water spray, dry powder or vapourising liquid fire fighting equipment.
Solid water stream
Containers may explode if incinerated. Undamaged aerosols are unlikely to be the cause of fire, but they can be ignited in a fire situation and contribute fuel to a fire. Aerosols containing flammable materials may produce a fierce fire with toxic gases evolved such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
Firefighter Protection
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Evacuate area. Ensure adequate air ventilation. Wear respiratory protection. Eliminate all sources of ignition.
Prevent leakage or further spillage if safe to do so.
Transfer to suitable containers for recovery or disposal according to local regulations then flush area with plenty of water.
