First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
fresh air.
Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/ shower.
rinse out with plenty of water. Remove contact lenses.
make victim drink water (two glasses at most). Consult doctor if feeling unwell.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Foam, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Dry powder
For this substance/mixture no limitations of extinguishing agents are given.
Carbon oxides, Combustible. Pay attention to flashback. Vapors are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Development of hazardous combustion gases or vapours possible in the event of fire. Forms explosive mixtures with air at ambient temperatures.
Remove container from danger zone and cool with water.
Firefighter Protection
In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Do not breathe vapors, aerosols. Ensure adequate ventilation. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Evacuate the danger area, observe emergency procedures, consult an expert.
Do not let product enter drains. Risk of explosion.
Collect, bind, and pump off spills. Take up with liquid-absorbent material. Clean up affected area.
Materials: liquid-absorbent material (e.g. Chemizorb®)
