4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Symptoms and effects
Irritation of the skin.
INHALATION : Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, qualified personnel may administer oxygen. Get
immediate medical attention.

are removed. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical
attention if skin irritation persists or skin contact has been prolonged.
INGESTION : If swallowed, get immediate medical attention. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person.
Advice to physicians
Treat symptomaticaly. Dermatitis may result from prolonged or repeated exposure.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Specific hazards : Hazardous combustion products may include carbon monoxide, carbon
dioxide. The vapor is heavier than air, spread along the ground and
distant ignition is possible.
Extinguishing media : Use dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide. Unsuitable extinguishing
media: Water in a jet.
Protective equipment : Full protecting clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus.
Other information : Keep adjacent containers cool by sprayed with water.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURE
Personal precautions : Eliminate all ignition sources. Prevention of inhalation and skin/eye
contact.
Environmental precautions : Prevent entry into sewers and waterways.
Methods for cleaning up : Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. dry sand), then place in a
chemical waste containers. For large spill, dike and cover by foam for

adequate protective equipment. Shut off all sources of ignition during
use and until all vapors (odors) gone. Prevent spills from entering
sewers or watercourse. Use reduced-sparking hand tools.
STORAGE : Store in a cool well ventilated location and prevent build-up
electrostatic charges (e.g. by grounding).
