4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Description of first aid measures
General advice
Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not breathe
dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray. In case of accident or unwellness, seek medical
advice immediately (show directions for use or safety data sheet if possible).
Inhalation
IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable
for breathing. Vapors are heavier than air and can cause suffocation by reducing
oxygen available for breathing. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Get
medical advice/attention if you feel unwell.
Skin Contact
Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all
contaminated clothes and shoes. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. If skin
irritation persists, call a physician.
Eye contact
Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and
upper eyelids. Consult a physician.
Ingestion
Not an expected route of exposure. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting: seek
medical advice immediately and show this container or label. Never give anything
by mouth to an unconscious person.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
No information available.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Treat symptomatically.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media
Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the
surrounding environment.
Unsuitable extinguishing media
No information available.
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating and toxic gases and vapors
Protective equipment and precautions for firefighters
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent)
and full protective gear. Evacuate personnel to safe areas.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Remove all sources of ignition. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Do not
breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Ensure adequate
ventilation, especially in confined areas. Use personal protection recommended in Section 8. Do not touch
damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Allow substance to evaporate. Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Avoid release to the
environment.
Pick up and transfer to properly labeled containers.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in
confined areas. Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Wash
thoroughly after handling. Use personal protection recommended in Section 8. Take precautionary measures
against static discharges. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Keep away from heat, sparks, flame and other
sources of ignition. Keep locked up and out of reach of children. Keep only in original container. Keep away from
food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. Store in accordance with local regulations.
