First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Provide fresh air. In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical advice.
Rinse skin with water/shower.
Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical advice.
In case of accident or unwellness, seek medical advice immediately (show directions for use or safety data sheet if possible).
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
water spray, alcohol resistant foam, dry extinguishing powder, BC-powder, carbon dioxide (CO₂)
water jet
Combustible. Vapours are heavier than air, spread along floors and form explosive mixtures with air.
In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Fight fire with normal precautions from a reasonable distance.
Firefighter Protection
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Use personal protective equipment as required. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothes. Do not breathe vapour/spray.
Keep away from drains, surface and ground water. Retain contaminated washing water and dispose of it.
Absorb with liquid-binding material (sand, diatomaceous earth, acid- or universal binding agents).
Materials: sand, diatomaceous earth, acid- or universal binding agents
