4 First aid measures
General information:
Symptoms of poisoning may even occur after several hours; therefore medical observation for at least 48 hours
after the accident.
After inhalation:
Supply fresh air. If required, provide artificial respiration. Keep patient warm. Consult doctor if symptoms persist.
After skin contact: Immediately wash with water and soap and rinse thoroughly.
After eye contact: Rinse opened eye for several minutes under running water.
After swallowing: Seek immediate medical advice.
5 Fire fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing agents:
CO2, extinguishing powder or water spray. Fight larger fires with water spray or alcohol resistant foam.
Special hazards caused by the material, its products of combustion or resulting gases:
Melted solder above 1000掳F will liberate toxic lead and/or antimony fumes.
In case of fire, the following can be released:
Carbon monoxide (CO)
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Nitrogen oxides (NOx)
Protective equipment: Wear self-contained respiratory protective device.
6 Accidental release measures
Person-related safety precautions:
Ensure adequate ventilation
Wear protective clothing.
Measures for environmental protection: Do not allow product to reach sewage system or any water course.
