First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
After inhalation: fresh air.
In case of skin contact: Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/ shower.
After eye contact: rinse out with plenty of water. Remove contact lenses.
After swallowing: make victim drink water (two glasses at most). Consult doctor if feeling unwell.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Carbon dioxide (CO2) Foam Dry powder
For this substance/mixture no limitations of extinguishing agents are given.
Combustible. Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Forms explosive mixtures with air on intense heating. Development of hazardous combustion gases or vapours possible in the event of fire.
Suppress (knock down) gases/vapours/mists with a water spray jet.
Firefighter Protection
Stay in danger area only with self-contained breathing apparatus. Prevent skin contact by keeping a safe distance or by wearing suitable protective clothing.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Do not breathe vapours, aerosols. Avoid substance contact. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate the danger area, observe emergency procedures, consult an expert.
Do not let product enter drains.
Take up with liquid-absorbent material (e.g. Chemizorb®). Clean up affected area.
Materials: liquid-absorbent material (e.g. Chemizorb®)
