First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Move the affected person away from the contaminated area and into the fresh air. If you feel unwell, seek medical advice.
In the event of contact with the liquid: treat resulting frostbite as a burn. Immediately remove contaminated clothing or footwear. Immediately rinse with plenty of water. If skin burns appear, call a doctor immediately.
Rinse immediately and thoroughly, pulling the eyelids well away from the eye (15 minutes minimum). Consult an eye specialist immediately.
Not specifically applicable (gas).
Immediate Medical Attention
If skin burns appear, call a doctor immediately. Consult an eye specialist immediately.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
