First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Terminate the exposure immediately; move the affected person to fresh air. Protect the person against growing cold. Provide medical treatment if irritation, dyspnoea or other symptoms persist.
Symptoms: May cause respiratory irritation.
Remove contaminated clothes. Wash the affected area with plenty of water, lukewarm if possible. Soap, soap solution or shampoo should be used if there is no skin injury. Provide medical treatment if skin irritation persists.
Symptoms: Not expected.
Rinse eyes immediately with a flow of running water, open the eyelids (also using force if needed); remove contact lenses immediately if worn by the affected person. Rinsing should continue at least for 10 minutes. Provide medical treatment, specialized if possible.
Symptoms: Causes serious eye irritation.
Rinse out the mouth with water and provide 2-5 dL of water. Provide medical treatment if the person has any health problems.
Symptoms: Irritation, nausea.
Immediate Medical Attention
In life threatening conditions first of all provide resuscitation of the affected person and ensure medical assistance.
Medical Treatment
Provide medical treatment if irritation, dyspnoea or other symptoms persist (inhalation). Provide medical treatment if skin irritation persists (skin). Provide medical treatment, specialized if possible (eyes). Provide medical treatment if the person has any health problems (ingestion).
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide, powder, water spray jet, water mist.
Water - full jet.
In the event of fire, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other toxic gases may arise.
Do not allow run-off of contaminated fire extinguishing material to enter drains or surface and ground water.
Firefighter Protection
Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) with a chemical protection suit only where personal (close) contact is likely. Use a self-contained breathing apparatus and full-body protective clothing.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Use personal protective equipment for work. Follow the instructions in the Sections 7 and 8. Do not inhale dust. Prevent contact with skin and eyes.
Prevent contamination of the soil and entering surface or ground water.
Place the product mechanically in an appropriate manner.
