First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Move to fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms persist.
Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Destroy or thoroughly clean contaminated shoes.
Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If easy to do, remove contact lenses. Get medical attention.
Symptoms: May irritate eyes.
Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Rinse mouth. If vomiting occurs, keep head low so that stomach content doesn't get into the lungs.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Water spray, foam, dry powder or carbon dioxide.
Avoid water in straight hose stream; will scatter and spread fire.
Vapours may cause a flash fire or ignite explosively. Vapours may travel considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back. Heat may cause the containers to explode.
Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Water may be ineffective in fighting the fire. Fight fire from a protected location. Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk.
Firefighter Protection
Firefighters must use standard protective equipment including flame retardant coat, helmet with face shield, gloves, rubber boots, and in enclosed spaces, SCBA.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). Use personal protective equipment. Keep unauthorised personnel away. Keep upwind. Ventilate closed spaces before entering them. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing.
Dyke far ahead of larger spill for later recovery and disposal.
Do not contaminate water sources or sewer. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
Absorb spill with vermiculite or other inert material, then place in a container for chemical waste. Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination.
Materials: vermiculite or other inert material

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid breathing high vapour concentrations. Do not taste or swallow. Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
Keep container tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place.
Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
DO NOT handle, store or open near an open flame, sources of heat or sources of ignition. Use non-sparking tools.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment.
Material: Chemical resistant gloves
Chemical goggles and face shield are recommended.
In case of inadequate ventilation use suitable respirator.
Wear appropriate clothing to prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact.
