4. First-aid measures
First-Aid measures
Inhalation : If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Obtain medical attention.
Ingestion : If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Do NOT induce vomiting unless
directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Aspiration hazard if swallowed- can enter lungs and
cause damage. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.
Obtain medical attention. Get medical attention if symptoms appear.
Skin contact : Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops. Cold
water may be used
Eye Contact : Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately
flush eyes with a copious amount of water for at least 15 minutes. Cold water
may be used. Obtain medical attention.

5. Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing Media
Suitable : SMALL FIRE: Use dry chemical powder or CO2.
LARGE FIRE: Use water spray, fog or foam. Do not use water jet.

products
Protection of fire-fighters : Fire fighters should wear self-contained positive pressure breathing apparatus
(SCBA) and full turnout gear.

6. Accidental release measures


Personal Precautions : Splash goggles. Full suit. Vapour respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self-contained
breathing apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product.
Environmental precautions and : Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Stop leak if
cleanup methods without risk
Note: See section 8 for personal protective equipment and section 13 for waste disposal.

7. Handling and storage


Handling : Keep locked up. Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition.
Ground all equipment containing material. Do not breathe
gas/fumes/vapour/spray. Wear suitable protective clothing. If ingested, seek
medical advice immediately and show the container or the label. Keep away
from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents.
Storage : Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep container tightly closed
and sealed until ready for use. Avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark or
flame).

8. Exposure controls/personal protection


Engineering measures : Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne
concentrations of vapours below their respective occupational exposure limits.
Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation
location.
Hygiene measures : Wash hands, forearms, and face thoroughly after handling compounds and
before eating, smoking, using lavatory, and at the end of day.
