First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. Get medical attention immediately. Remove to fresh air. 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. If breathing is difficult, (trained personnel should) give oxygen. IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention.
Symptoms: Coughing and/ or wheezing. Difficulty in breathing.
Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated clothes and shoes. Get immediate medical advice/attention.
Symptoms: May cause an allergic skin reaction. Itching. Rashes. Hives.
Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Keep eye wide open while rinsing. Get immediate medical advice/attention. Do not rub affected area.
Get immediate medical advice/attention. Do NOT induce vomiting. Rinse mouth. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Immediate Medical Attention
Immediate medical attention is required.
Medical Treatment
May cause sensitisation in susceptible persons. Treat symptomatically.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Dry chemical. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Water spray. Alcohol resistant foam.
Do not scatter spilled material with high pressure water streams.
Risk of ignition. Product is or contains a sensitiser. May cause sensitisation by skin contact.
CAUTION: Use of water spray when fighting fire may be inefficient.
Firefighter Protection
Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full firefighting turnout gear. Use personal protection equipment.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Do not breathe vapour or mist. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). Pay attention to flashback. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Do not touch or walk through spilled material.
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Should not be released into the environment.
Dam up. Soak up with inert absorbent material. Pick up and transfer to properly labelled containers.
Materials: inert absorbent material
