First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
Symptoms: Risk of serious damage to the lungs (by aspiration).
Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes.
Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water. If vomiting occurs naturally, have victim lean forward.
Immediate Medical Attention
Get medical attention. If skin irritation persists, call a physician. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Call a physician or poison control center immediately.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
CO₂, dry chemical, dry sand, alcohol-resistant foam. Water mist may be used to cool closed containers.
Water may be ineffective
Flammable. Risk of ignition. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Containers may explode when heated. Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors. Keep product and empty container away from heat and sources of ignition. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air.
Firefighter Protection
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Use personal protective equipment as required. Ensure adequate ventilation. Remove all sources of ignition. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.
Soak up with inert absorbent material. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal. Remove all sources of ignition. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Wear personal protective equipment/face protection. Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Use only non-sparking tools. To avoid ignition of vapors by static electricity discharge, all metal parts of the equipment must be grounded. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Flammables area.
Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Use only non-sparking tools. All metal parts of the equipment must be grounded. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
