First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
If unconscious place in recovery position and seek medical advice. If symptoms persist, call a physician.
If on skin, rinse well with water. If on clothes, remove clothes.
Flush eyes with water as a precaution. Remove contact lenses. Protect unharmed eye. Keep eye wide open while rinsing. If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.
Keep respiratory tract clear. Do NOT induce vomiting. Do not give milk or alcoholic beverages. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If symptoms persist, call a physician.
Immediate Medical Attention
Take victim immediately to hospital.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Alcohol-resistant foam, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Dry chemical
High volume water jet
Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Use personal protective equipment. Ensure adequate ventilation. Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Beware of vapours accumulating to form explosive concentrations. Vapours can accumulate in low areas.
Prevent product from entering drains. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.
collect with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according to local / national regulations (see section 13)
Materials: non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite)

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Avoid formation of aerosol. Do not breathe vapours/dust. Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. For personal protection see section 8. Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in the application area. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Open drum carefully as content may be under pressure.
Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.
When using do not eat or drink. When using do not smoke. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.
Do not spray on a naked flame or any incandescent material. Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition.
