SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
General advice
Consult a physician. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. Move out ofdangerous area.
If inhaled
If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Consult aphysician.
In case of skin contact
Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a physician.
In case of eye contactRemove any contact lenses, locate eye-wash station, and flush eyes immediately with large
amounts of water. Separate eyelids with fingers to ensure adequate flushing. Promptly call aphysician.
If swallowed
Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse
mouth with water. Consult a physician.

SECTION 5: FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media:
Use water spray, dry chemical, foam, and carbon dioxide fire extinguisher.
Specific hazards arising from the substance or mixture:
Carbon oxides, sulphur oxides.
Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters:
Wear suitable protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes andself-contained breathing apparatus.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
Avoid breathing vapours, mist or gas. Remove all sources of ignition. Beware of vapours
accumulating to form explosive concentrations. Vapours can accumulate in low areas.
For personal protection see section 8.
Environmental precautions:
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:
Contain spillage, and then collect with an electrically protected vacuum cleaner or by
wet-brushing and place in container for disposal according to local regulations (see section
13). Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.
Reference to other sections
For disposal see section 13.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling:
Avoid inhalation of vapour or mist, contact with eyes and skin. Avoid the formation ofdust and aerosols. Use in a well-ventilated area. Keep away from sources of ignition.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
Store at -20 °C. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Protected3
