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 splashes or contact with eyes :
Wash thoroughly with fresh, clean water for 15 minutes holding the eyelids open.
Regardless of the initial state, refer the patient to an ophthalmologist and show him the label.
In the event of splashes or contact with skin :
Remove contaminated clothing and wash the skin thoroughly with soap and water or a recognized 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.

Fire-fighting measures
Non-flammable.
.1. Extinguishing media
Suitable methods of extinction
In the event of a fire, use :
All means of extinction 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.
