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 immediately.
Ingestion : If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical
personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Loosen
tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Obtain medical attention
immediately.
Skin contact : In case of contact, immediately flush skin copiously with water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Cold water may be
used. Wash clothing before reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse.
Obtain medical attention immediately.
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 alcohol foam, water spray or fog. Cool containing vessels
with water jet in order to prevent pressure build-up, autoignition or explosio
Hazardous thermal (de)composition : These products are carbon oxides (CO, CO2) and water, halogenated
products compounds.
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.
Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist
BEFORE handling this product.
Environmental precautions and : Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Stop leak if
cleanup methods without risk. Absorb with dry earth, sand or other noncombustible materia
Use water spray to reduce vapours. Prevent entry into sewers, basements or
confined areas; dike if needed. Call for assistance on disposal.Neutralize
the residue with a dilute solution of sodium carbonate.
Note: See section 8 for personal protective equipment and section 13 for waste disposal.

7. Handling and storage

Handling : Keep locked up. Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition.
Ground all equipment containing material. Do not breathe
gas/fumes/vapour/spray. Wear suitable protective clothing. If ingested, seek
medical advice immediately and show the container or the label. Keep away
from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents, acids, alkalis.
Storage : Store in a segregated and approved area. Keep container in a cool,
well-ventilated area. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready f
use. Avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark or flame).
Packaging materials
Recommended use : Use original container.

8. Exposure controls/personal protection

Engineering measures : Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne
concentrations of vapours below their respective occupational exposure limits.
Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation
location.
Hygiene measures : Wash hands, forearms, and face thoroughly after handling compounds and
before eating, smoking, using lavatory, and at the end of day.
