First aider: Pay attention to self-protection!
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Until now no symptoms known so far.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Hints for the physician / hazards
In the case of swallowing with subsequent vomiting, aspiration of the lungs can occur which can lead to chemical pneumonia or asphyxiation.
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media
Dry powder, foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical extinguisher, Water spray jet

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
In case of combustion evolution of dangerous gases possible. In the event of fire the following can be released: Carbon monoxide (CO); Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Advice for firefighters
Special protective equipment for fire-fighting
Do not inhale explosion and/or combustion gases. In case of combustion use a suitable breathing apparatus. Wear full protective suit.
Other information
Collect contaminated fire-fighting water separately, must not be discharged into the drains. Fire residues and contaminated fire-fighting water must be disposed of in accordance with the local regulations. Cool
endangered containers with water spray jet.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Keep away sources of ignition. Ensure adequate ventilation. Use breathing apparatus if exposed to vapours/dust/aerosol. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Use personal protective clothing. Refer
to protective measures listed in Sections "Handling and Storage" and "Exposure controls/personal protection"
Environmental precautions
Do not discharge into the drains/surface waters/groundwater. Do not discharge into the subsoil/soil. Retain and dispose of contaminated wash water. In case of gas escape or of entry into waterways, soil
or drains, inform the responsible authorities.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Pick up mechanically. Avoid raising dust. Clean contaminated floors and objects thoroughly, observing environmental regulations. Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with the regulations.
Reference to other sections
