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. In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical advice.
Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical advice.
Rinse mouth with water (only if the person is conscious). Call a doctor.
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.
Fight fire with normal precautions from a reasonable distance.
Firefighter Protection
In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
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
