First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Assure adequate flushing of the eyes by separating the eyelids with fingers.
Do not induce vomiting. Allow victim to rinse his mouth with water provided person is conscious. Drink 2-4 cupfulls of water.
Immediate Medical Attention
Seek medical advice.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
In case of fire, use water spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, or polymer foam.
Slight fire hazard. Dust/air mixtures may ignite or explode.
Firefighter Protection
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and protective gear.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Do not touch spilled material. Stop leak if possible without personal risk.
Avoid raising dust. Collect spilled material in appropriate container for disposal. Absorbent may be used. Move containers away from spill to a safe area.
dike for later disposal. Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Ventilate area and wash spill site after material pickup is complete.
Collect spilled material in appropriate container for disposal. Wash spill site after material pickup is complete.
