First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Fresh air. Immediately call in physician. If breathing stops: immediately apply artificial respiration, if necessary also oxygen.
Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/ shower. Consult a physician.
Rinse out with plenty of water. Call in ophthalmologist. Remove contact lenses.
Immediately make victim drink water (two glasses at most). Consult a physician.
Immediate Medical Attention
Immediately call in physician.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Carbon dioxide (CO2) Foam Dry powder
For this substance/mixture no limitations of extinguishing agents are given.

Remove container from danger zone and cool with water.
Firefighter Protection
Stay in danger area only with self-contained breathing apparatus. Prevent skin contact by keeping a safe distance or by wearing suitable protective clothing.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Evacuate the danger area, observe emergency procedures, consult an expert.
Do not let product enter drains. Risk of explosion.
Take up carefully with liquid-absorbent material (e.g. Chemizorb®).
