4. First aid measures
Eye contact : Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact with eyes, rinse
immediately with plenty of water. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Skin contact : Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Inhalation : If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Get medical
attention if symptoms appear.
Ingestion : Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get
medical attention if symptoms appear.
Notes to physician : No specific antidote. Medical staff must contact Poison Control Center.
5. Fire-fighting measures
Flammability of the product : Non-flammable.
Products of combustion : Decomposition products may include the following materials:
carbon oxides
nitrogen oxides
phosphorus oxides
metal oxide/oxides
Extinguishing media
Suitable : Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire.
Not suitable : None known.
Special exposure hazards : Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if there
is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.
In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst.
Special protective : Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing
equipment for fire-fighters apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.
6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions : Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put on appropriate personal
protective equipment (see section 8).
Environmental precautions : Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and
sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental pollution
(sewers, waterways, soil or air).
Methods for cleaning up : Wash spillages into an effluent treatment plant or proceed as follows. Contain and
collect spillage with non-combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or
diatomaceous earth and place in container for disposal according to local regulations
(see section 13). Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Contaminated
absorbent material may pose the same hazard as the spilled product. Note: see section
1 for emergency contact information and section 13 for waste disposal.
7. Handling and storage
Handling : Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8). Eating, drinking and
smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and
processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking.
Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing. Do not ingest. Keep in the original container or
an approved alternative made from a compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in
use. Keep away from acids. Empty containers retain product residue and can be
hazardous. Do not reuse container.
Storage : Store in accordance with local regulations. Separate from acids. Keep container tightly
closed and sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been opened must be
carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabeled
containers. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.
