First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove to fresh air. IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention.
Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated clothes and shoes. If symptoms persist, call a physician.
Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Keep eye wide open while rinsing. Do not rub affected area. If symptoms persist, call a physician.
Do NOT induce vomiting. Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician.
Immediate Medical Attention
IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention. If symptoms persist, call a physician.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Dry chemical. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Water spray. Alcohol resistant foam.
CAUTION: Use of water spray when fighting fire may be inefficient.
Risk of ignition. Keep product and empty container away from heat and sources of ignition. In the event of fire, cool tanks with water spray.
In the event of fire, cool tanks with water spray.
Firefighter Protection
Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full firefighting turnout gear. Use personal protection equipment.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Dike far ahead of spill to collect runoff water. Keep out of drains, sewers, ditches and waterways. Absorb with earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers for later disposal.
Keep out of drains, sewers, ditches and waterways.
Dam up. Soak up with inert absorbent material. Pick up and transfer to properly labeled containers.
Materials: inert absorbent material
