Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; give artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device. Immediate medical attention is required.

Symptoms: Difficulty in breathing. Symptoms of overexposure are dizziness, headache, tiredness, nausea, unconsciousness, cessation of breathing.

Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Immediate medical attention is required.

Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. In the case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice.

Substance is nonflammable; use agent most appropriate to extinguish surrounding fire.

No information available.

Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce corrosive and/or toxic fumes.

Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors.

Use personal protective equipment as required. Ensure adequate ventilation. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Evacuate personnel to safe areas.

Should not be released into the environment.

Soak up with inert absorbent material. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.

Materials: inert absorbent material

Wear personal protective equipment/face protection. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Use only under a chemical fume hood. Do not breathe mist/vapors/spray. Do not ingest. If swallowed then seek immediate medical assistance.

Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Protect from direct sunlight. Store under an inert atmosphere. Protect from moisture.

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

Use only under a chemical fume hood. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. Wherever possible, engineering control measures such as the isolation or enclosure of the process, the introduction of process or equipment changes to minimise release or contact, and the use of properly designed ventilation systems, should be adopted to control hazardous materials at source
