In the case of 2nd degree burns, use symptomatic treatment.

Fire-fighting measures

General information:

Product does not burn. Use extinguishing measures appropriate to the source of the fire.

Suitable extinguishing media

not applicable

Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons

not applicable

Special exposure hazards arising from the substance or preparation itself, combustion products,

resulting gases

not applicable

Special protective equipment for fire fighting

Use respiratory protection independent of recirculated air.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions

Wear personal protection equipment (see section 8). Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Avoid

inhaling mists and vapours. Keep unprotected persons away.

Environmental precautions

Prevent material from entering surface waters, drains or sewers and soil. Contain any fluid

that runs out using suitable material (e.g. earth).

Methods for cleaning up

Take up mechanically and dispose of according to local/state/federal regulations. For small

amounts: Absorb with a liquid binding material such as diatomaceous earth and dispose of

according to local/state/federal regulations. Dilute with plenty of water and dispose of

according to local/state/federal regulations. Contain larger amounts and pump up into suitable

containers.

Handling and storage

Handling

Precautions for safe handling:

Avoid contact with acids. Avoid formation of aerosols. In case of aerosol formation special

protective measures are required (exhausting by suction, respiratory protection).

Precautions against fire and explosion:

No special precautions against fire and explosion required.

Storage

Conditions for storage rooms and vessels:

Do not store in containers made of aluminum or other light metals.

Advice for storage of incompatible materials:

Avoid contact with acids.
