First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
After inhalation: fresh air. Call in physician. If breathing stops: immediately apply artificial respiration, if necessary also oxygen.
In case of skin contact: Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/ shower. Call a physician immediately.
After eye contact: rinse out with plenty of water. Immediately call in ophthalmologist. Remove contact lenses.
After swallowing: make victim drink water (two glasses at most), avoid vomiting (risk of perforation). Call a physician immediately. Do not attempt to neutralise.
Immediate Medical Attention
Call in physician or ophthalmologist immediately.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.
For this substance/mixture no limitations of extinguishing agents are given.
Not combustible. Has a fire-promoting effect due to release of oxygen. Ambient fire may liberate hazardous vapours.
Suppress (knock down) gases/vapours/mists with a water spray jet. Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water spray.
Firefighter Protection
Stay in danger area only with self-contained breathing apparatus. Prevent skin contact by keeping a safe distance or by wearing suitable protective clothing.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Avoid substance contact. Do not breathe vapours, aerosols. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate the danger area, observe emergency procedures, consult an expert.
Do not empty into drains.
Take up with liquid-absorbent and neutralising material (e.g. Chemizorb® H ⁺ , Merck Art. No. 101595). Dispose of properly. Clean up affected area.
Materials: liquid-absorbent and neutralising material (e.g. Chemizorb® H ⁺ , Merck Art. No. 101595)
