Inhalation

Remove vicm into fresh air. In case of respiratory problems, consult a doctor/medical service.

Symptoms: Dizziness. Drowsiness.

Skin contact

If possible, wipe up/dry remove chemical. Then rinse/shower immediately with (lukewarm) water. If irritaon persists, consult a doctor/medical service.

Symptoms: ON CONTINUOUS/REPEATED EXPOSURE/CONTACT: Dry skin. Cracking of the skin.

Eye contact

Rinse immediately with plenty of water. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Connue rinsing. If irritaon persists, consult a doctor/medical service.

Symptoms: Irritaon of the eye ssue.

Ingestion

Rinse mouth with water. If you feel unwell, consult a doctor/medical service. Do not wait for symptoms to occur to consult Poison Center.

Symptoms: No effects known.

Immediate Medical Attention

In case of injury and/or intoxicaon, call the European emergency number 112. Treat symptoms starng with most life-threatening injuries and disorders.

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Small fire: Quick-acting ABC powder extinguisher, Quick-acting BC powder extinguisher, Quick-acting class B foam extinguisher, Quick-acting CO2 extinguisher. Major fire: Class B foam (alcohol-resistant), Water spray if puddle cannot expand.

Unsuitable media
