First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing. Seek medical treatment in case of troubles.
Symptoms: Inhaling can lead to irritations of the respiratory tract and mucous membrane.
Wash with plenty of water/soap. If skin irritation or rash occurs: Get medical attention.
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of flowing water for 10 to 15 minutes holding eyelids apart. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Subsequently consult an ophthalmologist.
Symptoms: Causes serious eye irritation.
Do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth and drink large quantities of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Immediately get medical attention.
Symptoms: Higher doses may lead to a narcotic effect. Dizziness, double vision and other characteristics typical of drunkenness, vomiting, loss of consciousness.
Immediate Medical Attention
Seek medical treatment in case of troubles (inhalation). Immediately get medical attention (swallowing). Subsequently consult an ophthalmologist (eyes).
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Water spray jet, alcohol resistant foam, carbon dioxide, dry extinguishing powder
Full water jet
Highly flammable liquid and vapour. With air, vapours form potentially explosive mixtures, which are heavier than air. Vapours may proceed on the ground over great distances and cause fire and backflashes. In partially filled containers explosive mixtures may form.
Keep containers cool with water spray. In case of major fire and large quantities: Evacuate area. Fight fire remotely due to the risk of explosion.
Firefighter Protection
Wear self-contained positive pressure breathing apparatus and full firefighting protective clothing.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so. Avoid contact with the substance. Avoid breathing mist/vapours/spray. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate protective equipment. Keep unprotected people away. Evacuate area. If possible, eliminate leakage. Take off contaminated clothing and wash it before reuse.
In case of spills of large quantities: Dam spills. In case of greater quantities: Collect mechanically (use only explosion-proof equipment when pumping out).
Do not allow to enter into ground-water, surface water or drains. Danger of explosion!
Isolate leaked material using non-flammable absorption agent and collect it for disposal in appropriate containers in accordance with the local regulations (see section 13). Thoroughly clean surrounding area.
Materials: non-flammable absorption agent (e.g. sand, earth, vermiculit, diatomaceous earth)
