Inhaled:
Move victim to fresh air. Apply resuscitation if victim is not breathing.
First Aid Facilities:
Eye wash fountain, safety shower and normal wash room facilities.
Advice to Doctor:
May cause tissue destruction leading to stricture. If lavage is performed, suggest endotracheal and/or esophgoscopic
control. If burn is present, treat as thermal burn, after decontamination. No specific antidote. Supportive care.
Treatment based on judgment of the doctor in response to reactions of the patient. Excessive exposure may aggravate
pre-existing asthma.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide or foam.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: If tanks, drums or containers of this material are heated, they may
rupture and project corrosive liquids over a wide area.
HAZARDS FROM COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Under fire conditions, toxic and corrosive fumes are emitted. On
combustion or on thermal decomposition (pyrolysis), there will be a release of oxides of carbon and oxides of nitrogen.
PRECAUTIONS FOR FIRE FIGHTERS AND SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA) required for fire -fighting personnel. If possible to do so safely, shut off fuel to fire. Use
water spray to spray to cool fire-exposed surfaces and to protect personnel.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure Standards
[NOHSC] has not assigned any exposure standards for this product.
Engineering Controls
Corrosive liquid. Maintain adequate ventilation at all times. In most circumstances natural ventilation systems are
adequate.
Personal Protection Equipment
GLOVES: The use of neoprene gloves is recommended.
EYES: Chemical goggles or spectacles to protect eyes.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Avoid breathing of vapours. Select and use respirators in accordance with AS/NZS
1715/1716. The use of a combined organic vapour and acid gas vapour respirator fitted with replaceable filters is
recommended. Filter capacity and respirator type depends on exposure levels and type of contaminant. If entering
spaces where the airborne concentration of a contaminant is unknown then the use of a Self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) with positive pressure air supply complying with AS/NZS 1715 / 1716, or any other acceptable
International Standard is recommended.
