Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
20 minutes.
Get medical attention immediately.
Skin contact Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with mild soap and plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes. Wash clothing before re-use.
Get medical attention immediately.
Inhalation In case of dust inhalation or breathing fumes released from heated material, remove
person to fresh air. Keep him quiet and warm. Apply artificial respiration if necessary
and get medical attention immediately.
Ingestion If swallowed, wash mouth thoroughly with plenty of water and give water to drink.
Get medical attention immediately.

Notes to the physician No specific antidote. Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Fire-fighting measures
Fire fighting procedure Cool containers with water spray. In closed stores, provide fire-fighters with selfcontained
breathing apparatus in positive pressure mode
Unusual fire and explosion
hazards When heated to decomposition, may release poisonous and corrosive fumes of
CO,CO2 and HBr.
Accidental release measures
Methods for cleaning up Cover with dry lime or soda ash, pick up, keep in closed container and hold for waste
disposal. Ventilate area and wash spill site after material pickup is complete.
Environmental precautions Prevent product from entering drains, ditches and rivers.
Handling and storage
Storage Store in a dry area away from incompatible materials (see "materials to avoid").
