First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
IF INHALED: Remove to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing (P304+P340). Seek medical treatment immediately. In case of respiratory standstill give artifical respiration by respirator and send for a doctor.
In case of contact with skin wash off immediately with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing immediately, even underwear and shoes. If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention (P332+P313).
If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention (P337+P313). IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing (P305+P351+P338).
Do not induce vomiting. Call for a doctor immediately. Provide for plenty of water to be drunken in small gulps (dilution effect). Additionally medical charcoal tablets should be given (1 spoon of medical charcoal suspension in a glass of water).
Immediate Medical Attention
Immediate medical treatment is required after inhalation. In case of respiratory standstill, a doctor should be sent for. If skin irritation occurs or eye irritation persists, get medical advice/attention. Call for a doctor immediately in case of ingestion.
Medical Treatment
If swallowed or in the event of vomiting, risk of entering the lungs. Monitor circulation.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Foam, Dry fire-extinguishing substance, Carbon dioxide, Water spray jet

Firefighter Protection
Use breathing apparatus with independent air supply. Wear full protective clothing. Do not inhale explosion and/or combustion gases.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Ensure adequate ventilation. Keep people away and stay on the upwind side. Use personal protective clothing. Keep away sources of ignition. Use breathing apparatus if exposed to vapours/dust/aerosol.
contact emergency authorities.
Do not discharge into the drains/surface waters/groundwater.
Send in suitable containers for recovery or disposal.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Open and handle container with care! Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area (P271). Use solvent-resistant equipment. Do not use for cleaning purposes. Take the usual precautions when handling with chemicals. Do not inhale vapours. Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
Store locked up (P405). Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed (P403+P233). Protect from heat/overheating.
Wash hands thoroughly after handling (P264). At work do not eat, drink, smoke or take drugs. Remove soiled or soaked clothing immediately. Take off contaminated clothing and wash before reuse (P362+P364).
Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Ground/bond container and receiving equipment (P240). Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Use only non-sparking tools (P242).
Exposure Controls / PPE
