In case of symptoms caused by inhalation of fumes, mists or vapors of the product: If safe to do so, move the affected person to a quiet and well-ventilated place. If breathing difficulties persist, consult a doctor. If the victim is unconscious and not breathing: Ensure breathing is normal and provide artificial respiration by trained personnel. If necessary, perform cardiac massage and seek medical attention. If the casualty is unconscious and breathing, place the casualty in the recovery position. Give oxygen if necessary.

Symptoms: Respiratory irritation caused by excessive exposure to fumes, mists or vapors.

Remove contaminated clothing and shoes and dispose of them safely. If irritation, swelling or redness of the skin occurs and persists, consult a doctor. Percutaneous injection may occur when using high-pressure equipment. In the event of high-pressure injury, seek immediate medical attention. Do not wait for symptoms to worsen. Minor burns should be cooled. Hold the burned area under a stream of cold water for at least five minutes or until the pain subsides. It is essential to prevent hypothermia. In any case of serious burns, consult a doctor. Wash the affected body part with soap and water.

Symptoms: dry skin, irritation in case of repeated or prolonged exposure. Contact with the product at high temperatures may result in burns.

If hot liquid splashes into the eye, immediately cool the affected eye under cold running water for at least 5 minutes to dissipate the heat. Seek immediate medical attention for evaluation and subsequent treatment. Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. If possible and easy to do, remove any contact lenses. Continue rinsing.

Symptoms: Slight irritation. Contact with the product at high temperatures may cause burns.

Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If vomiting occurs, keep the victim's head low to prevent vomit from entering the lungs (aspiration). Once vomiting has stopped, place the victim in the recovery position with their legs slightly elevated. Always assume inhalation/aspiration has occurred. Seek medical attention or refer the victim to a hospital. Do not wait for symptoms to worsen. Do NOT induce vomiting.

Symptoms: Few or no symptoms are expected. Nausea and diarrhea may occur.

Foam (trained personnel only). Water mist (trained personnel only). Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide. Other inert gases (as per regulations). Sand or earth.

Do not aim a water jet directly at a burning product; it may cause splattering and spread the fire. Avoid using foam and water on the same surface at the same time, as water destroys the foam.

Incomplete combustion often produces a complex mixture of airborne solid and liquid particles and gases, including carbon monoxide, unidentified organic and inorganic compounds.

Special precautions when fighting fire in the event of a large fire or a fire in confined or poorly ventilated areas

Stop or contain the leak at the source, if this can be done without risk. Avoid direct contact with the released material. Stay upwind. Large spills can be carefully covered with foam (if available) to reduce the risk of fire. Do not use direct streams. Collect unbound product using available means. Transfer collected product and other contaminated materials to suitable tanks or containers for recovery or safe disposal. If soil becomes contaminated, the contaminated layer must be removed and treated in accordance with local regulations. Ensure effective ventilation inside buildings or confined spaces. Keep non-emergency personnel away from the spill area. Alert emergency personnel. Except for small spills: Where possible, the feasibility of any action should always be assessed and reviewed by a suitably trained and competent person in charge of the rescue operation. Collect spilled product using suitable, non-flammable materials. In case of small spills into confined waters (i.e. in ports), protect the product with Floating booms or other equipment. Collect spilled product using special floating absorbents. Where possible, large spills in open water should be contained using floating barriers or other mechanical means. If this is not possible, control the spread of the spill and collect the product with skimming or other appropriate mechanical means. The use of dispersants should be recommended by a specialist and (if necessary) approved by local authorities. Collect recovered product and other materials into suitable tanks or containers for recovery or safe disposal. If safe to do so, eliminate all ignition sources (e.g., electricity, sparks, fire, torches). If necessary, notify the appropriate authorities in accordance with applicable regulations.

Minor spills: Standard antistatic workwear is usually adequate. In case of small spills into confined waters (i.e. in ports), protect the product with Floating booms or other equipment. Collect spilled product using special floating absorbents.

Large spills can be carefully covered with foam (if available) to reduce the risk of fire. Do not use direct streams. Where possible, large spills in open water should be contained using floating barriers or other mechanical means.
