First-aid measures
As a general rule, in case of doubt or if symptoms persist, always call a doctor.
NEVER induce swallowing by an unconscious person.
1. Description of first aid measures
In the event of exposure by inhalation :
In the event of massive inhalation of dust, remove the person exposed to fresh air. Keep warm and at rest.
If the person is unconscious, place in recovery position. Notify a doctor in all events, to ascertain whether observation and supportive hospital
care will be necessary.
If breathing is irregular or has stopped, effect mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and call a doctor.
Do not proceed with mouth-to-mouth or mouth-to-nose resuscitation.Use the appropriate equipment.
In the event of splashes or contact with eyes :
Wash thoroughly with fresh, clean water for 15 minutes holding the eyelids open.
If there is any redness, pain or visual impairment, consult an ophthalmologist.
In the event of splashes or contact with skin :
Remove contaminated clothing and wash the skin thoroughly with soap and water or a recognised cleaner.
Remove any soiled or splashed clothing immediately.
Watch out for any remaining product between skin and clothing, watches, shoes, etc.
If the contaminated area is widespread and/or there is damage to the skin, a doctor must be consulted or the patient transferred to hospital.
In the event of swallowing :
Do not give the patient anything orally.
In the event of swallowing, if the quantity is small (no more than one mouthful), rinse the mouth with water, administer activated medical
charcoal and consult a doctor.
Seek medical attention immediately, showing the label.
If swallowed accidentally, call a doctor to ascertain whether observation and hospital care will be necessary. Show the label.
NEVER induce swallowing by an unconscious person.

Fire-fighting measures
Non-flammable.
.1. Extinguishing media
Suitable methods of extinction
In the event of a fire, use :
All means of extinstion can be used.
Unsuitable methods of extinction
In the event of a fire, do not use :
Strong water jet
.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
A fire will often produce a thick black smoke. Exposure to decomposition products may be hazardous to health.
Do not breathe in smoke.
In the event of a fire, the following may be formed :
- carbon monoxide (CO)
- carbon dioxide (CO2)
- nitrogen oxide (NO)
- nitrogen dioxide (NO2)
.3. Advice for firefighters
Due to the toxicity of the gas emitted on thermal decomposition of the products, fire-fighting personnel are to be equipped with autonomous
insulating breathing apparatus.

Never eat, drink or smoke during use. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-using. Ensure that there is adequate ventilation,
especially in confined areas.
- Eye / face protection
Avoid contact with eyes.
Before handling powders or dust emission, wear mask goggles in accordance with standard EN166.
Prescription glasses are not considered as protection.
Provide eyewash stations in facilities where the product is handled constantly.
- Hand protection

Gloves must be selected according to the application and duration of use at the workstation.
Protective gloves need to be selected according to their suitability for the workstation in question : other chemical products that may be
handled, necessary physical protections (cutting, pricking, heat protection), level of dexterity required.
- Body protection
Avoid skin contact.
Wear suitable protective clothing.
