Indication of immediate
medical attention and special
treatment needed
General information
If breathing is difficult, remove to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.
Call a physician if symptoms develop or persist.
Remove contaminated clothing immediately and wash skin with soap and water. In case of
eczema or other skin disorders: Seek medical attention and take along these instructions.
Rinse with water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.
Rinse mouth. If ingestion of a large amount does occur, call a poison control center immediately.
Upper respiratory tract irritation. Irritation of eyes and mucous membranes. Coughing. Skin
irritation. May cause an allergic skin reaction. Dermatitis. Rash.
Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically. Keep victim under observation.
Symptoms may be delayed.
Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to
protect themselves. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.

equipment/instructions
Specific methods
General fire hazards
Water fog. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.
During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed.
Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.
Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk.
Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials.
No unusual fire or explosion hazards noted.
6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions,
protective equipment and
emergency procedures
Methods and materials for
containment and cleaning up
Environmental precautions
Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Wear
appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Avoid breathing mist or vapor. Do
not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing.
Ensure adequate ventilation. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be
contained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS.
Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Use water spray to reduce vapors or
divert vapor cloud drift. Dike the spilled material, where this is possible. Cover with plastic sheet to
prevent spreading. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth and place into containers. Following
product recovery, flush area with water.
Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to
remove residual contamination.
Never return spills to original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.
7. Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Conditions for safe storage,
including any incompatibilities
Avoid breathing mist or vapor. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid prolonged
exposure. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Observe
good industrial hygiene practices. Use care in handling/storage.
Store in original tightly closed container. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10
of the SDS).

General hygiene
considerations
No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s).
Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates
should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation,
or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If
exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.
Face shield is recommended. Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).
Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing. Use of an impervious apron is recommended.
In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.
Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary.
Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material
and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective
equipment to remove contaminants. Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the
workplace.
