First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove to fresh air and monitor breathing. If breathing becomes difficult, give oxygen. If breathing stops, give artificial respiration. Consult a doctor.
Immediately wash skin with copious amounts of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes and wash before reuse. Consult a doctor.
Flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a doctor.
Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Consult a doctor.
Immediate Medical Attention
Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. Immediate medical attention is required.
Firefighting Measures
