First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; give artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device. Immediate medical attention is required.
Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Immediate medical attention is required.
Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. In the case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice.
Do NOT induce vomiting. Call a physician or poison control center immediately.
Immediate Medical Attention
Immediate medical attention is required.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Water spray, carbon dioxide (CO2), dry chemical, alcohol-resistant foam.
No information available
Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors. Keep product and empty container away from heat and sources of ignition.
Firefighter Protection
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Evacuate personnel to safe areas.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Wear personal protective equipment/face protection. Avoid dust formation. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Use only under a chemical fume hood. Do not breathe (dust, vapor, mist, gas). Do not ingest. If swallowed then seek immediate medical assistance.
Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Handle and store contents under nitrogen. Protect from moisture.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.
Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin exposure.
Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European Standard EN166.
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149.
