First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove victim to fresh air. Respiratory problems: consult a doctor/medical service.
Rinse with water. Soap may be used. Take victim to a doctor if irritation persists.
Rinse with water. Consult an ophtalmologist if irritation persists.
Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Call a poison center or a doctor if you feel unwell.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Quick-acting ABC powder extinguisher. Quick-acting BC powder extinguisher. Quick-acting class B foam extinguisher. Quick-acting CO2 extinguisher. Class B foam (not alcohol-resistant).
Solid water jet ineffective as extinguishing medium.
DIRECT FIRE HAZARD: Combustible. INDIRECT FIRE HAZARD: Heating increases the fire hazard. Temperature above flashpoint: higher fire/explosion hazard. No direct explosion hazard.
Cool tanks/drums with water spray/remove them into safety.
Firefighter Protection
Heat/fire exposure: compressed air/oxygen apparatus.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Mark the danger area. Exposure to heat: have neighbourhood close doors and windows. Exposure to fire/heat: consider evacuation. Wash contaminated clothes. No naked flames.
Prevent soil and water pollution.
Take up liquid spill into absorbent material, e.g.: sand, saw dust. Scoop absorbed substance into closing containers. Clean contaminated surfaces with an excess of water. Wash clothing and equipment after handling.
Materials: absorbent material, e.g.: sand, saw dust
