First-aid measures
In case of inhalation:
Remove the casualty into fresh air and keep him calm.
In case of skin (or hair) contact:
Wash off immediately with soap and water. Remove contaminated soaked clothing immediately and dispose of safely.
In case of eye contact:
Rinse thoroughly with large amounts of water. Consult eye specialist.
In case of ingestion:
Rinse out mouth and give plenty of water to drink; do not induce vomiting, seek medical advice.
If there is a risk of loss of consciousness, place and transport affected person in the recovery position. No administration in cases of unconsciousness or cramps.
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media:
Suitable extinguishing media: Water spray jet, carbon dioxide, foam, dry powder
Unsuitable extinguishing media: Full water jet.
Advice for fire-fighters:
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical protective clothing.
Dispose of fire debris and contaminated extinguishing water in accordance with official regulations.
Keep containers cool by spaying with water if exposed to fire.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
for non-emergency personnel:
Provide adequate ventilation.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.
Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
Remove all sources of ignition, avoid heat and sparks.
for emergency responders:
In case of large amounts wear a self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical protective clothing. No further precautions.
Environmental precautions:
Do not allow to enter drains/surface water/ground-water.
Do not allow to enter into soil/subsoil.
Treat the recovered material as prescribed in the section on waste disposal.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:
For large amount: dike spillage. Pump off product.
For residues: Pick up with suitable absorbent material
Suitable material for taking up: universal binder.
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling:
Vent waste air to atmosphere only through suitable separators
Vapours can form an explosive mixture with air
Take precautionary measures against static discharges
