First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
If inhaled, remove to fresh air.
Wash with water and soap as a precaution.
Flush eyes with water as a precaution.
If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Rinse mouth thoroughly with water.
Immediate Medical Attention
Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Water spray, Alcohol-resistant foam, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Dry chemical
None known.
Exposure to combustion products may be a hazard to health.
Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment. Use water spray to cool unopened containers. Remove undamaged containers from fire area if it is safe to do so. Evacuate area.
Firefighter Protection
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary. Use personal protective equipment.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Follow safe handling advice and personal protective equipment recommendations.
For large spills, provide diking or other appropriate containment to keep material from spreading. If diked material can be pumped, store recovered material in appropriate container.
Discharge into the environment must be avoided. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Prevent spreading over a wide area (e.g. by containment or oil barriers). Retain and dispose of contaminated wash water. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained.
Soak up with inert absorbent material. Clean up remaining materials from spill with suitable absorbent.
Materials: inert absorbent material
