First-aid measures
Most important symptoms and effects
Causes burns. Causes injury to the cornea and eyelids. Risk of serious damage to eyes. Irritating to
respiratory system, may cause delayed pulmonary oedema.
Description of first aid measures
General
Call a physician immediately.
Inhalation
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Oxygen may additionally be given, by
trained personnel, if it is available. Get medical attention immediately.
Skin
While wearing impervious gloves and air-tight safety goggles, immediately start continuous flushing of
all affected areas on the victim with water for at least 15 minutes. If victim is wearing air-tight safety
goggles, do not remove them. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. If clothing is stuck to the
skin after flushing with water, do not remove it. Get medical attention immediately. Wash or destroy
clothing. Thoroughly clean or destroy contaminated shoes.
Eye
Immediately start continuous flushing of eyes with water for at least 15 minutes. If easy to do, contact
lenses should be removed during the flushing, by trained personnel. Hold the eyelids apart during the
flushing to ensure rinsing the entire surface of the eye and lids with water. Get medical attention
immediately.
Ingestion
DO NOT induce vomiting. Get medical attention immediately by calling a physician or a poison control
center. If victim is conscious and alert, give a cupful of water. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious or convulsing person. If vomiting occurs, the patient should lie on their left side while
vomiting to reduce the risk of aspiration.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Persons with pre-existing skin, eye, or respiratory disease may be at increased risk from the irritant or
allergic properties of this material.
Irrigate burn area with large amounts of water to decontaminate, if not already done. Chemical burns on the
skin should then be treated like thermal burns. Skin reactions may take 24-48 hours to develop. If eyes are
affected, flush eyes with buffered or plain irrigating solutions for at least 15 minutes, if not already done. If
any ulceration or conjunctival injury is present, have an ophthalmologist examine the patient. Application of
cool water helps relieve pain and swelling of both the skin and eyes. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting.
Give patient plenty of water to drink. Ingestion of this corrosive material may cause severe ulceration,
inflammation, and possible perforation of the gastrointestinal tract. Maintain adequate airway. Aspiration
during induced emesis can result in severe lung injury. Contact a Poison Control Center for additional
treatment information. Treat any additional effects symptomatically.
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
vermiculite, dry chemical powder, dry sand.
Unsuitable extinguishing media
Never use water !!! See also Section: Other information.
foam
halones
Hazardous decomposition / combustion products
Products of complete combustion are carbon dioxide, water and magnesium oxide. Additionally, products of
incomplete combustion may include carbon monoxide, elemental carbon and hydrocarbons (alkanes and
alkenes).
Protective equipment
Firefighters must wear fire resistant protective equipment. Wear approved respirator and protective gloves.
Other information
Evacuate all non-essential personnel. Consider to let it burn out completely. Waterspray may only be used
by experienced fire fighters. Cool closed containers with water. After a fire, ventilate thoroughly the area and
soak with water, clean the walls and metallic surfaces.
Fire and explosion hazard
CAUTION: reignition may occur. Vapours produced by incomplete combustion may form explosive mixtures
with air . In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions
Do not breathe fumes/vapor. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
For personal protection, see Exposure Controls / Personal Protection section.
Environmental precautions
Do not allow to enter drains or water courses.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Stop leakage if possible. Eliminate all sources of ignition, and do not generate flames or sparks. Take
precautionary measures against static discharges. Allow controlled hydrolysis. Isolate spill area. After fire
has been extinguished or has been allowed to burn out completely, wait CONSIDERABLE TIME (until
smoke is no longer observed). After that, carefully wash spill area with a waterspray.
Other information
Ignition will occur . Evacuate personnel to safe area.
Handling and storage
Percautions for safe handling
When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Handle in well ventilated areas. Eliminate all sources of ignition, and
do not generate flames or sparks. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Apply earthing
when transferring from one container to another. Avoid contact with moisture and water. Keep under
nitrogen. Handle only in closed system. During sampling, disconnecting lines or opening connections, an
aluminised suit should be worn. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid incompatible materials (see Stability and Reactivity section).
Fire and explosion prevention
Spontaneously flammable in air. Do not cut or weld on or near this container even when empty.
Conditions for safe storage
Store in accordance with local/national regulations. Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs.
Keep under dry nitrogen containing less than 10 ppm oxygen. Protect product from moisture and wet air.
Keep container tightly closed and in a well-ventilated place.
Other information
Wash hands thoroughly after handling or contact. Keep working clothing separately and do not take them
home.
