4. First aid measures
General advice: Remove contaminated, soaked clothing immediately and dispose of safely.
Inhalation: Move the patient to fresh air and keep at rest. If symptoms persist, call a physician.
Skin contact: Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water. Seek medical aid if at all worried.
Eye contact: In the case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical
advice.
Ingestion: Wash out mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Keep at rest. Seek medical advice
immediately.
Notes to physician
Symptoms: Local, may cause irritation to skin and mucous membranes, sensitization.
Symptoms: Systemic: nausea, vomiting, hyperventilation, sweating, salivation, hyperthermia, convulsions.
Risks: Risk of product entering the lungs on vomiting after ingestion.
Treatment: Local treatment: Initial treatment should be symptomatic and supportive.
Treatment: Systemic treatment: In the event of a mouthful or more being ingested, the following
measures should be considered:
Monitoring of respiratory and cardiac functions.
Keep respiratory passages free, administer artificial respiration as necessary.
Gastric lavage with charcoal, if necessary further treatment.
Ensure constant oxygen supply and wash or spray with cold water. Absolute quiet is necessary.
Anti-convulsive therapy: Diazapam i.v. is the remedy of choice; barbiturates e.g. phenobarbital and
calcium gluconate, may also be used.
Containdications: antipyretics.

5. Fire fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons: High volume water jet.
Specific hazards during fire fighting: In case of fire the evolution of dangerous gases is possible.
Special protective equipment for fire fighters: In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe
fumes. Wear self contained breathing apparatus for fire fighting if necessary.
Further information: Remove product from areas of fire, or otherwise cool containers with water in order
to avoid pressure being built up due to heat. Whenever possible, contain fire-fighting water by bunding
area with sand or earth.
________________________________________________________________________________________
6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions: Avoid contact with spilled product or contaminated surfaces. When dealing with
a spillage do not eat, drink or smoke.
Environmental precautions: Keep people and animals away. Do not discharge into the drains/surface
water/groundwater. If spillage enters drains leading to sewage works inform local water company
immediately. In spillage enters rivers or watercourses, inform the Environment Agency.
Methods for cleaning up: Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder,
universal binder, sawdust). Transfer collected material to heavy duty plastic drums and keep safe for
disposal. Clean contaminated floors and objects thoroughly with water and detergents, observing
environmental regulations.
Additional advice: Information regarding safe handling, see section 7. Information regarding personal
protective equipment, see section 8. Information regarding waste disposal, see section 13. Check also
for any local site procedures.
