First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
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. Remove to fresh air. Immediate medical attention is required.
Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Immediate medical attention is required.
Symptoms: May cause allergic skin reaction. Symptoms of allergic reaction may include rash, itching, swelling, trouble breathing, tingling of the hands and feet, dizziness, lightheadedness, chest pain, muscle pain or flushing
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.
Symptoms: Ingestion causes severe swelling, severe damage to the delicate tissue and danger of perforation
Immediate Medical Attention
Immediate medical attention is required. Call a physician or poison control center immediately.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically. Use of gastric lavage or emesis is contraindicated. Possible perforation of stomach or esophagus should be investigated
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Carbon dioxide (CO₂). Powder. Water spray. CO₂, dry chemical, dry sand, alcohol-resistant foam.
No information available
Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors. The product causes burns of eyes, skin and mucous membranes.
In case of major fire and large quantities: Evacuate area. Fight fire remotely due to the risk of explosion.
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
Ensure adequate ventilation. Use personal protective equipment as required. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak.
Should not be released into the environment. See Section 12 for additional Ecological Information.
Soak up with inert absorbent material. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.
Materials: inert absorbent material
