First-aid measures
Inhalation
Immediately remove from further exposure. Get immediate medical assistance. For those providing assistance, avoid exposure to yourself or others. Use adequate respiratory protection. Give supplemental oxygen, if available. If breathing has stopped, assist ventilation with a mechanical device.
Skin contact
Initial emergency treatment should consist of washing with large amounts of 5% acetic acid (aqueous vinegar) alternating with soap and water, while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Continue regime for at least 15 minutes, although the acetic acid may be discontinued once the stickiness is gone. In all cases, large amounts of plain water rinsing for 5 minutes is the final step. If 5% acetic acid is not immediately available, wash with plenty of water until 5% acetic acid can be obtained. Get medical attention immediately. Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes.
Eye contact
Important! Immediately rinse with water for at least 15 minutes. Remove any contact lenses and open eyelids wide apart. Get medical attention immediately. Continue to rinse.
Ingestion
Immediately rinse mouth and drink a cupful of water. Seek immediate medical attention. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
Itching, redness, swelling, burning or blistering of skin. Nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, gastrointestinal irritation and/or diarrhea. Nasal discharge, hoarseness, coughing, chest pain and breathing difficulty.
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Treat as alkaline substance (similar to ammonia). Observe for latent pulmonary edema. Observe for cardiac effects in high exposure situations at 24 and 48 hours after.
General information
Chemical burns must be treated by a physician. Thermal burns: Flush with water immediately. While flushing, remove clothes which do not adhere to affected area. Call an ambulance. Continue flushing during transport to hospital.

Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media Extinguish with foam, carbon dioxide, dry powder or water fog.
Unsuitable extinguishing media
Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
By heating and fire, toxic and corrosive vapors/gases may be formed. In the presence of sufficient oxygen, combustion may produce oxides of nitrogen and carbon dioxide. Nitrogen oxides can react with water to produce nitric acid. Combustion under oxygen starved conditions may produce numerous toxic products including carbon monoxide, cyanides and nitriles.
Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters
Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire. Selection of respiratory protection for firefighting: follow the general fire precautions indicated in the workplace.
Fire fighting equipment/instructions
Use carbon dioxide or dry powder for small fires. Use aqueous film forming foam for large fires. Water spray should be used to cool structures and vessels. Prevent runoff from fire control or dilution from entering streams, sewers or drinking water supply.
Specific methods Water spray should be used to cool containers.
General fire hazards The product is flammable, and heating may generate vapors which may form explosive vapor/air mixtures.

Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Eliminate all sources of ignition. Avoid sparks, flames, heat and smoking. Ventilate. Avoid inhalation of vapors. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wear suitable protective clothing.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Absorb spillage with non-combustible, absorbent material.
Environmental precautions Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.

Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
All handling to take place in well-ventilated area. Do not breathe mist or vapor. Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Local exhaust is recommended. Do not smoke and do not spray near a naked flame or other sources of ignition. The product is flammable, and heating may generate vapors which may form explosive vapor/air mixtures. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along the floor and in the bottom of containers. Vapors may be ignited by a spark, a hot surface or an ember. Ground container and transfer equipment to eliminate static electric sparks. Observe good industrial hygiene practices.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Follow rules for flammable liquids. Do not store near heat sources or expose to high temperatures. Store away from incompatible materials.
