4. First aid measures

After inhalation: remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. Get medical attention immediately.
After skin contact: wash off with plenty of water for at least 20 minutes.
Immediately remove contaminated clothing. Get medical attention.
After eye contact: rinse out with plenty of water for at least 20 minutes with the
eyelid held wide open. Get medical attention immediately.
After swallowing: make victim drink plenty of water, avoid vomiting (risk of
perforation!). Get medical attention immediately. Do not attempt to neutralize.
Do not give liquids to an unconscious person.

5. Fire fighting measures

Suitable-extinguishing media:
powder, foam, spray water. Fire extinguisher: powder, carbon dioxide.
Special risks:
Non-combustible. Development of hazardous combustion gases or vapour
possible in the event of fire.
Special protective equipment for fire fighting:
Do not stay in dangerous zone without suitable chemical protection clothing and self-
contained breathing apparatus.
Other information:
contain escaping vapours with water. Cool containers with water. Prevent
fire-fighting. water from entering surface water or groundwater.

6. Accidental release measures

Person-related precautionary measures:
Evacuate area. Stay upwind and away from spill release. Wear impervious full body
covering suit with heavy rubber boots. Respiratory protection required where vapors
are present. Avoid substance contact. Do not inhale vapor/aerosols.
Procedures for cleaning/absorption:
Take up with liquid-absorbent material (e.g. dry sand, earth, vermiculite).
Forward for disposal. Clean up affected area.
