FIRST AID MEASURES
Wash out mouth with water. Remove dentures if any. Move exposed person to fresh
air. Keep person warm and at rest. If material has been swallowed and the exposed
person is conscious, give small quantities of water to drink. Stop if the exposed person
feels sick as vomiting may be dangerous. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do
so by medical personnel. If vomiting occurs, the head should be kept low so that vomit
does not enter the lungs. Get medical attention if adverse health effects persist or are
severe. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If unconscious,
place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately. Maintain an open
airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.
Skin contact
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower
eyelids. Check for and remove any contact lenses. Continue to rinse for at least 10
minutes. Get medical attention.
Flush contaminated skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and
shoes. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Wash clothing before reuse. Clean
shoes thoroughly before reuse.
Notes to physician
No specific treatment. Treat symptomatically. Contact poison treatment specialist
immediately if large quantities have been ingested or inhaled.

Protection of first-aiders
:
No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. It may
be dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
5.
Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if
there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable
training. Move containers from fire area if this can be done without risk. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
Hazardous thermal
decomposition products
Special exposure hazards
Decomposition products may include the following materials:
carbon dioxide
carbon monoxide
Flammable liquid. In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container
may burst, with the risk of a subsequent explosion. The vapour/gas is heavier than air
and will spread along the ground. Vapours may accumulate in low or confined areas or
travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back. Runoff to sewer
may create fire or explosion hazard.
Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.
Special protective
equipment for fire-fighters
Use dry chemical, CO

Environmental precautions
Personal precautions
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Approach the release from
upwind. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas.
Wash spillages into an effluent treatment plant or proceed as follows. Contain and
collect spillage with non-combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or
diatomaceous earth and place in container for disposal according to local regulations
(see section 13). Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Dispose of via
a licensed waste disposal contractor. Contaminated absorbent material may pose the
same hazard as the spilt product. Note: see section 1 for emergency contact
information and section 13 for waste disposal.
6.
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
:
:
No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.
Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from
entering. Do not touch or walk through spilt material. Shut off all ignition sources. No
flares, smoking or flames in hazard area. Avoid breathing vapour or mist. Provide
adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put
on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8).
Avoid dispersal of spilt material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and
sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental
pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air).
Large spill
:
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Dilute with water and mop up
if water-soluble. Alternatively, or if water-insoluble, absorb with an inert dry material and
place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-
proof equipment. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.

Handling
HANDLING AND STORAGE
7.
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Eating, drinking and
smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and
processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking.
Do not ingest. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing vapour or
mist. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation
is inadequate. Do not enter storage areas and confined spaces unless adequately
ventilated. Keep in the original container or an approved alternative made from a
compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in use. Store and use away from heat,
sparks, open flame or any other ignition source. Use explosion-proof electrical
