4. First-aid measures
Inhalation

Move to fresh air. Call a physician if symptoms develop or persist.

Skin contact

Wash off with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.

Eye contact

Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do.

Ingestion

Rinse mouth. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

Most important
symptoms/effects, acute anddelayed

Convulsions. Dizziness. Nausea, vomiting. Abdominal pain. Oedema. Prolonged exposure may
cause chronic effects.

Indication of immediate
medical attention and special
treatment needed

Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically. Keep victim under observation.
Symptoms may be delayed.

General information

IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention. If you feel unwell, seek medical advice(show the label where possible). Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s)involved, and take precautions to protect themselves. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor inattendance.

5. Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media

Alcohol resistant foam. Powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2).

Unsuitable extinguishingmedia

Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.

Specific hazards arising fromthe chemical

Thermal decomposition may produce smoke, oxides of carbon and lower molecular weight organic
compounds whose composition have not been characterised.

Special protective equipment
and precautions for firefighters

Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.

Fire fighting
equipment/instructions

Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk.

Specific methods

Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials.

General fire hazards

No unusual fire or explosion hazards noted.

6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions,protective equipment andemergency procedures
Methods and materials forcontainment and cleaning up

Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Wearappropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Do not breathe mist/vapours.
Ensure adequate ventilation. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot becontained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS.
Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this ispossible. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth and place into containers. Following productrecovery, flush area with water.
Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly toremove residual contamination.

Environmental precautions

Never return spills to original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.

7. Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling

Conditions for safe storage,
including any incompatibilities

Obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been readand understood. Do not breathe mist/vapours. Avoid prolonged exposure. Should be handled inclosed systems, if possible. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate personal protectiveequipment. Observe good industrial hygiene practices.
Store locked up. Store in tightly closed container. Store away from incompatible materials (seesection 10 of the SDS).
