Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
🫁 Inhalation Exposure
Remove from contaminated area. Seek medical attention if complaints.
🖐️ Skin Contact
If contact with hot material, cool the burn area by flushing with large amounts of water. Cover the burn area loosely with a sterile dressing, if available and seek medical attention.
👁️ Eye Contact
Flush eye with water. Seek medical attention if necessary.
🍽️ Ingestion/Swallowing
Immediately give a glass of water. First aid is not generally required. If in doubt, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically.
Fire Fighting Measures & Emergency Response
Fire suppression methods, extinguishing media, and firefighting safety procedures
✅ Suitable Extinguishing Media
CO 2, extinguishing powder or water spray. Fight large fires with water spray or alcohol resistant foam.
❌ Unsuitable Extinguishing Media
Direct jet water.
⚠️ Specific Fire Hazards
Combustible solid which burns but propagates flame with difficulty. Slight fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame. Heating may cause expansion or decomposition leading to violent rupture of containers. On combustion, may emit acrid fumes of carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), other pyrolysis products typical of burning organic material.
🛡️ Firefighter Protection Equipment
Firefighters should wear chemical goggles, chemical protective gloves, and a self-sustained breathing apparatus.

Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
🏭 Engineering Controls
General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. Local exhaust ventilation may be required in specific circumstances. If risk of overexposure exists, wear approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate protection. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage areas. Air contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying "escape" velocities which, in turn, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh circulating air required to effectively remove the contaminant.
🧤 Hand Protection
Use chemical protective gloves (polyethylene, PVC).
👁️ Eye Protection
Use chemical goggles
😷 Respiratory Protection
Use a European Standard EN 149 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced.
🦺 Skin/Body Protection
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin exposure.
🌍 Environmental Exposure Controls
Local exhaust ventilation usually required. As much as possible, keep from being washed into surface waters.
