First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
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.
Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Immediate medical attention is required.
Symptoms: May cause allergic skin reaction. Symptoms of allergic reaction may include rash, itching, swelling.
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.
Do NOT induce vomiting. Call a physician or poison control center immediately.
Immediate Medical Attention
Immediate medical attention is required.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Water spray, carbon dioxide (CO2), dry chemical, alcohol-resistant foam.
Do not allow evaporation to dryness. Risk of ignition. Decomposes violently at elevated temperatures. Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors. Keep product and empty container away from heat and sources of ignition.
Firefighter Protection
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
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. Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.
Soak up with inert absorbent material. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.
Materials: inert absorbent material.
