First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove victim into fresh air. Immediately consult a doctor/medical service.
Symptoms: EXPOSURE TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS: Corrosion of the upper respiratory tract. Dry/sore throat. Coughing. Respiratory difficulties. Possible laryngeal spasm/oedema. Risk of lung oedema.
If possible, wipe up/dry remove chemical. Then rinse/shower immediately for 30 minutes with (lukewarm) water. Cut clothing; never remove burnt clothing from the wound. Do not give any pain medication. Consult a doctor/medical service.
Symptoms: Caustic burns/corrosion of the skin.
Rinse immediately with plenty of water for 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Consult a doctor/medical service.
Symptoms: Corrosion of the eye tissue. Permanent eye damage.
Rinse mouth with water. Immediately consult a doctor/medical service. Do not wait for symptoms to occur to consult Poison Center.
Symptoms: Vomiting. Nausea. Burns to the gastric/intestinal mucosa. Possible esophageal perforation. Bleeding of the gastrointestinal tract. Shock. Disturbances of consciousness.
Immediate Medical Attention
Immediately consult a doctor/medical service.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Adapt extinguishing media to the environment for surrounding fires.
Not applicable.
On burning: release of toxic and corrosive gases/vapours (chlorine, hydrogen chloride).
Cool tanks/drums with water spray/remove them into safety. Do not move the load if exposed to heat. Dilute toxic gases with water spray. Take account of toxic/corrosive precipitation water. Take account of toxic fire-fighting water. Use water moderately and if possible collect or contain it.
Firefighter Protection
Gas-tight suit (EN 943). Corrosion-proof suit (EN 14605). Self-contained breathing apparatus (EN 136 + EN 137).
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Keep upwind. Seal off low-lying areas. Close doors and windows of adjacent premises. No naked flames. Corrosion-proof appliances. Keep containers closed.
Contain released product, collect/pump into suitable containers. Plug the leak, cut off the supply. Dam up the liquid spill. Try to reduce evaporation. Take account of toxic/corrosive precipitation water. Prevent soil and water pollution. Prevent spreading in sewers.

Stability and Reactivity
Chemical stability, hazardous reactions, and incompatible materials
No data available.
Basic reaction. May be corrosive to metals.
Decomposes slowly on exposure to air: oxidation resulting in increased fire or explosion risk and release of toxic and corrosive gases/vapours (chlorine). This reaction is accelerated on exposure to light, on exposure to temperature rise and on exposure to (some) metals. Reacts with organic material. Reacts with (strong) reducers: (increased) risk of fire/explosion.
