First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

If exposure occurs leave exposure area immediately. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.

Skin contact

Gently flush affected areas with water. Seek medical attention if irritation develops.

Eye contact

Flush gently with running water, Seek medical attention if irritation develops.

Ingestion

If swallowed, do not induce vomiting.

Immediate Medical Attention

Seek medical attention if irritation develops.

Medical Treatment

Treat symptomatically.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Unsuitable media

Do not use water to extinguish metallic fires or nearby areas as contact with water at high temertures may liberate flammable hydrogen gas. Do not use water type extinguishers.

Specific hazards

High dust levels may form explosive mixtures in air.

Instructions

Evacuate area and contact emergency services. Remain upwind and notify those downwind of hazard.

Firefighter Protection

Wear full protective equipment including Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) when combating fire.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

If split or if packages are damaged, collect for later disposal or reuse.

Large spill

For large amounts, wear dust-proof goggles, cotton/leather gloves, a Class P1 (Particulate) respirator, coveralls and boots.

Cleanup methods

collect for later disposal or reuse
