Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
Inhalation Exposure
Remove to fresh air, if unconscious move to recovery position. Seek medical aid.
Symptoms:
In low concentrations inhalation may cause narcotic effects. Symptoms may include dizziness, headache, nausea and loss of coordination.
Skin Contact
wash skin with soap and water, seek medical aid.
Symptoms:
skin reddening occurs
Eye Contact
Remove contact lens(es) if present and easy to do so. Flush with clean water for 10 minutes. Seek medical aid.
Ingestion/Swallowing
Do not induce vomiting. If patient vomits turn to recovery position. Give water to drink. Seek medical aid.
Immediate Medical Attention Required
None.
Medical Treatment
None.
Fire Fighting Measures & Emergency Response
Fire suppression methods, extinguishing media, and firefighting safety procedures
Suitable Extinguishing Media
Use water spray, dry powder or vaporising liquid fire-fighting equipment.
Specific Fire Hazards
Containers may explode if incinerated. Undamaged aerosols are unlikely to be the cause of fire, but they can be ignited in a fire situation and contribute fuel to a fire. Aerosols containing flammable materials may produce a fierce fire with toxic gases evolved such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
Firefighter Protection Equipment
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Accidental Release Measures & Spill Response
Emergency spill cleanup procedures, containment methods, and environmental protection
Emergency Procedures
Evacuate area. Ensure adequate air ventilation. Wear respiratory protection. Eliminate all sources of ignition.
Environmental Precautions
Prevent leakage or further spillage if safe to do so. Prevent escaping material from entering drains or water courses. Advise authorities if material has entered water course or sewer or has contaminated soil or vegetation.
Cleanup Methods
Contain and absorb using earth, sand or other inert material. Transfer to suitable containers for recovery or disposal according to local regulations then flush area with plenty of water. If product is undamaged, treat mechanically and sweep into suitable containers.
Cleanup Materials:
earth, sand or other inert material
