4 First-aid measures
First aid
Inhalation : remove the exposed person from contaminated area; keep warm and in fresh air.
: if victim has trouble breathing, transport to medical care and give supplemental oxygen.
: in case of loss of consciousness, give artificial respiration.
- Skin contact : take off immediately all contaminated clothing.
: wash thoroughly with soapy water.
: if irritation persists, seek medical advice.
- Eye contact : wash with plenty of water,for at least 15 minutes, keeping the lids well open.
: seek medical advice.
- Ingestion : rinse the mouth with clean water; give plenty of water, seek medical advice.
: do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person.
5 Fire - fighting measures
Extinguishing media
- Suitable : carbon dioxide, dry chemicals, foam, water spray ( or fog).
- Not suitable : none.
Fire/explosion hazards : keep away from sources of ignition - no smoking.
: avoid breathing the fumes.
: avoid static build up; must be earthed.
: avoid vapours contact with sources of flame (open flames, sparks, very hot surface).
Fire-fighting procedures : fire fighters and others who may be exposed to the products of combustion, should be
equipped with NIOSH approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and full
protective clothing.
: when exposed to flames or high temperatures encountered during fire conditions, sealed
containers may rupture because of the build up of internal pressure: cool containers with water
and remove.
: the contaminated water used for extinguishing must be disposed of in accordance with local
legislation.
6 Accidental release measures
After spillage / leakage
- on soil : limit contaminated area until risk of dangerous concentration in the air has been eliminated.
: isolate the dangerous area, wear protective clothing. Remove all sources of ignition and
contain the spill with inert materials.
: vapours heavier than air propagate at ground level and may cause risks of explosion and
poisoning in basements and pits.
: then collect in suitable containers and dispose of or burn at approved site.
: avoid dispersion of large quantities of product in sewers or waterways.
- on water : if spilled product is going into water courses or drain and soil or vegetation are contaminated,
advise legal authority and take measures to minimize effects on the aquatic environment.
7 Handling and storage
Handling : avoid contact with skin and eyes.
: handle this product near emergency showers, emergency eye-wash and with independent
