Section 4 First Aid Measures

In case of inhalation:

Remove to fresh air. Keep warm and at rest. Get medical attention.

In case of skin contact:

Remove contaminated clothing. Immediately wash skin with soap and water. Get medical attention if skin cracking or redness occurs.

In case of eyes contact:

Immediately flush eye with large quantities of water for at least 10 minutes holding the eye open. Avoid contaminating unaffected eye.

In case of ingestion:

Wash out mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Keep patient warm and at rest. Give 240-300 ml water to drink (only if patient is conscious). Repeat if patient vomits. Get medical attention if patient is unwell. Get medical attention if a large quantity is ingested.

Harmful if swallowed. Harmful in contact with skin. Harmful if inhaled.

To protect playing rescuer advice and the special hints to the doctor:

Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed:

Treat symptomatically.

Section 5 Fire-fighting Measures

Extinguishing agent

Suitable extinguishing media:

Alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, water mist.

Unsuitable extinguishing media:

Water in a jet.

Special hazards arising from the chemical:

Hazardous combustion products may include carbon monoxide.

Special fire fighting methods and special protective actions for fire-fighters:

Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus, and wear full-length firefighting gear, and cool the exposed container with water until all fire sources have been extinguished. Contain and dispose of fire-fighting water to prevent chemicals from entering the environment.

Section 6 Accidental Release Measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Evacuate all non-essential personnel. Avoid eye and skin contact, and inhalation of vapour. Wear appropriate protective clothing. Wear respiratory protection. Ventilate area. Be aware of possible accumulation of vapour.

Environmental precautions:

Keep away from drains, water and soil. Advise authorities if spilled material has entered water courses or sewer or has contaminated soil or vegetation.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:

Absorb or contain liquid with sand, earth or spill control material. Collect and place in a labelled sealable container for subsequent safe disposal. Flush contaminated area with plenty of water. Put leaking containers in a labelled drum or overdrum.

Precautions to prevent the occurrence of secondary hazards:

Dispose of the collected spill immediately to avoid further leaks or sewers.

Section 7 Handling and Storage
