First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove victim into fresh air. In case of respiratory problems, consult a doctor/medical service.
Symptoms: No effects known.
If possible, wipe up/dry remove chemical. Then rinse/shower immediately with (lukewarm) water. If irritation persists, consult a doctor/medical service.
Symptoms: Red skin. Itching. Swelling of the skin.
Rinse immediately with (lukewarm) water. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If irritation persists, consult a doctor/medical service.
Symptoms: No effects known.
Rinse mouth with water. If you feel unwell, consult a doctor/medical service. Do not wait for symptoms to occur to consult Poison Center.
Symptoms: Nausea. Vomiting. Diarrhoea. Abdominal pain.
Immediate Medical Attention
In case of injury and/or intoxication, call the European emergency number 112. Consult a doctor/medical service if respiratory problems occur, if irritation persists, or if you feel unwell. Do not wait for symptoms to occur to consult Poison Center.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Adapt extinguishing media to the environment for surrounding fires.
DIRECT FIRE HAZARD: Non combustible. DIRECT EXPLOSION HAZARD: No direct explosion hazard.
Dilute toxic gases with water spray. Take account of toxic/corrosive precipitation water.
Firefighter Protection
Heat/fire exposure: self-contained breathing apparatus (EN 136 + EN 137).
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Mark the danger area. Prevent dust cloud formation, e.g. by wetting. No naked flames. Wash contaminated clothes.
No additional information available
Stop dust cloud by humidifying. Scoop solid spill into closing containers. Damaged/cooled tanks must be emptied. Carefully collect the spill/leftovers. Clean contaminated surfaces with an excess of water. Take collected spill to manufacturer/competent authority. Wash clothing and equipment after handling.
