First-aid measures

Eye Contact: In case of contact, or suspected contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention immediately after flushing.

Skin Contact: In case of contact, immediately wash skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention. Remove contaminated clothing and launder before re-use.

Ingestion: Seek immediate medical attention. Do not induce vomiting. Slowly dilute with 1-2 glasses of water or milk and seek medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing or if breathing is difficult, give artificialrespiration or oxygen by trained personnel. Seek medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing Media: All standard firefighting media

Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazards: Unknown

Special Protective Equipment: Fire fighters should wear full protective clothing, including self-contained breathing equipment.

Accidental release measures

Personal Precautionary Measures: Use appropriate protective equipment.

Procedure for Cleaning/Absorption: Contain spill with sand or other inert materials.

Handling and storage

Handling: Do not get on skin or in eyes. Do not breathe material. Do not swallow material. Where splashing is possible, full chemically resistant protective clothing is required. Acid suit and boots are required. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling.
