First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove from exposure, lie down. Remove to fresh air.
Symptoms: Risk of serious damage to the lungs (by aspiration).
Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated clothes and shoes.
Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes.
Clean mouth with water. If vomiting occurs naturally, have victim lean forward.
Immediate Medical Attention
Get medical attention. Call a physician or poison control center immediately.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Carbon dioxide (CO₂). Dry chemical. Water mist may be used to cool closed containers. Chemical foam. Water mist may be used to cool closed containers.
No information available
Flammable. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Containers may explode when heated. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Do not allow run-off from fire-fighting to enter drains or water courses.
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
Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system. Prevent product from entering drains. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained.
Soak up with inert absorbent material. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.
