After swallowing: make victim drink plenty of water. Consult doctor if feeling unwell.
5. Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media: Water, CO2, foam, powder.
Special risks:
Combustible. Vapours heavier than air. Forms explosive mixtures with air on intense heating. Development
of hazardous combustion gases or vapours possible in the event of fire. The following may develop in event
of fire: Acrolein
Special protective equipment for fire fighting:
Do not stay in dangerous zone without self-contained breathing apparatus.
Other information:
Cool container with spray water from a save distance. Contain escaping vapours with water. Prevent
fire-fighting water from entering surface water or groundwater.
6. Accidental release measures
Person-related precautionary measures: Do not inhale vapours/aerosols.
Environmental-protection measures: Do not allow to enter sewerage system.
Procedures for cleaning / absorption:
Take up with liquid-absorbent material (e.g. Chemizorb庐 ). Forward for disposal. Clean up affected
area.
7. Handling and storage
Handling:
No further requirements.
