First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove victim into fresh air. In case of respiratory problems, consult a doctor/medical service.
Symptoms: EXPOSURE TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS: Central nervous system depression. Feeling of weakness. Nausea. Vomiting. Headache. Dizziness. Excited/restless. Drunkenness. Disturbed motor response. Respiratory difficulties. Disturbances of consciousness.
If possible, wipe up/dry remove chemical. Then rinse/shower immediately with (lukewarm) water. If irritation persists, consult a doctor/medical service.
Symptoms: ON CONTINUOUS EXPOSURE/CONTACT: Dry skin. Cracking of the skin.
Rinse immediately with plenty of water. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If irritation persists, consult a doctor/medical service.
Symptoms: Irritation of the eye tissue.
Rinse mouth with water. If you feel unwell, consult a doctor/medical service. Do not wait for symptoms to occur to consult Poison Center.
Symptoms: Dry/sore throat. Gastrointestinal complaints. Risk of aspiration pneumonia. AFTER INGESTION OF HIGH QUANTITIES: Irritation of the gastric/intestinal mucosa. Change in the haemogramme/blood composition. Change in urine output. Affection of the renal tissue. Enlargement/affection of the liver. Symptoms similar to those listed under inhalation.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Quick-acting ABC powder extinguisher. Quick-acting BC powder extinguisher. Quick-acting class B foam extinguisher. Quick-acting CO2 extinguisher. Class B foam (alcohol-resistant). Water spray if puddle cannot expand.
Water (quick-acting extinguisher, reel); risk of puddle expansion. Water; risk of puddle expansion.
DIRECT FIRE HAZARD: Highly flammable liquid and vapour. Gas/vapour flammable with air within explosion limits. INDIRECT FIRE HAZARD: May be ignited by sparks. Gas/vapour spreads at floor level: ignition hazard. Reactions involving a fire hazard: see "Reactivity Hazard". DIRECT EXPLOSION HAZARD: Gas/vapour explosive with air within explosion limits. INDIRECT EXPLOSION HAZARD: Heat may cause pressure rise in tanks/drums: explosion risk. may be ignited by sparks. Reactions with explosion hazards: see "Reactivity Hazard".
Cool tanks/drums with water spray/remove them into safety. Physical explosion risk: extinguish/cool from behind cover. Do not move the load if exposed to heat. After cooling: persistent risk of physical explosion.
Firefighter Protection
Heat/fire exposure: self-contained breathing apparatus (EN 136 + EN 137).
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Keep upwind. Mark the danger area. Consider evacuation. Seal off low-lying areas. Close doors and windows of adjacent premises. Stop engines and no smoking. No naked flames or sparks. Spark- and explosionproof appliances and lighting equipment. Keep containers closed. Wash contaminated clothes.
Prevent spreading in sewers.
Take up liquid spill into inert absorbent material, e.g.: sand, earth, vermiculite. Scoop absorbed substance into closing containers. Spill must not return in its original container. Carefully collect the spill/leftovers. Damaged/cooled tanks must be emptied. Do not use compressed air for pumping over spills. Clean contaminated surfaces with an excess of water. Take collected spill to manufacturer/competent authority. Wash clothing and equipment after handling.
Materials: inert absorbent material, e.g.: sand, earth, vermiculite

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Use spark-/explosionproof appliances and lighting system. Take precautions against electrostatic charges. Keep away from naked flames/heat. Keep away from ignition sources/sparks. Measure the concentration in the air regularly. Work under local exhaust/ventilation. Comply with the legal requirements. Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Clean contaminated clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Handle uncleaned empty containers as full ones. Thoroughly clean/dry the installation before use. Do not discharge the waste into the drain. Do not use compressed air for pumping over.
Store in a cool area. Keep out of direct sunlight. Store in a dry area. Store in a dark area. Keep container in a well-ventilated place. Fireproof storeroom. Provide for an automatic sprinkler system. Provide for a tub to collect spills. Provide the tank with earthing.
Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with skin.
Keep away from naked flames/heat. Keep away from ignition sources/sparks.
