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 : Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If large quantities of
this material are swallowed, call a physician immediately. Aspiration hazard if
swallowed- can enter lungs and cause damage. Loosen tight clothing such as
a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Obtain medical attention.
Skin contact : In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Cover the
irritated skin with an emollient. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.
Cold water may be used. Wash clothing before reuse. Clean shoes
thoroughly before reuse. Obtain medical attention.
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.
Hazardous thermal (de)composition : These products are carbon oxides (CO, CO2) and water, nitrogen oxides (NO,
products NO2...).
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 : Absorb with an inert material and put the spilled material in an appropriate
cleanup methods waste disposal. Neutralize the residue with a dilute solution of acetic acid.
Note: See section 8 for personal protective equipment and section 13 for waste disposal.

7. Handling and storage

Handling : Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Empty containers
pose a fire risk, evaporate the residue under a fume hood. Do not ingest. Do
not breathe vapour/spray. Wear suitable protective clothing. In case of
insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. If ingested, seek
medical advice immediately and show the container or the label. Avoid
contact with skin and eyes. Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing
agents.
Storage : Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area.
Packaging materials
Recommended use : Use original container.
