First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
If unconscious, place in recovery position and seek medical advice. If symptoms persist, call a physician.
Symptoms: May cause respiratory irritation.
Immediate medical treatment is necessary as untreated wounds from corrosion of the skin heal slowly and with difficulty. If on skin, rinse well with water. If on clothes, remove clothes.
Symptoms: Causes severe burns. Untreated wounds from corrosion of the skin heal slowly and with difficulty.
In the case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. Continue rinsing eyes during transport to hospital. Remove contact lenses. Protect unharmed eye. Keep eye wide open while rinsing. If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.
Symptoms: Small amounts splashed into eyes can cause irreversible tissue damage and blindness. Causes serious eye damage.
Keep respiratory tract clear. Do NOT induce vomiting. Do not give milk or alcoholic beverages. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If symptoms persist, call a physician. Take victim immediately to hospital.
Symptoms: Harmful if swallowed.
Immediate Medical Attention

Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Carbon dioxide (CO2), Water spray, Alcohol-resistant foam, Dry powder
High volume water jet
Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.
Use a water spray to cool fully closed containers. For safety reasons in case of fire, cans should be stored separately in closed containments.
Firefighter Protection
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Use personal protective equipment. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Prevent product from entering drains. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.
collect with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according to local / national regulations
Materials: non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite)
