First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Move the exposed person to fresh air at once. Get medical attention. Provide rest, warmth and fresh air. When breathing is difficult, properly trained personnel may assist affected person by administering oxygen.
Remove contaminated clothing. Wash the skin immediately with soap and water. Get medical attention promptly if symptoms occur after washing. Launder clothing before reuse.

Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
water spray, foam, carbon dioxide, dry powder, sand, dolomite or other inert material.
Vapours may form explosive mixture with air at room temperature. Vapours are heavier than air and may spread near ground to sources of ignition.
Avoid breathing fire vapours. Cool containers exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out.
Firefighter Protection
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Keep all unnecessary people away.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Do not allow spill material to enter drains or water courses. Cover all drains and sewers. Avoid spreading spilled material. Contain spillages with sand, earth or suitable inert absorbent material. Prevent further spillage if safe to do so.
Absorb in vermiculite, sand, diatomaceous earth or other inert absorbent material. Place into clearly labelled container for recovery or disposal (see section 13). Rinse site with copious amounts of water, which should not be allowed into drains, sewers or water courses.
