Description of first aid measures
General information:
Take off immediately all contaminated clothes including shoes. IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/ attention.
In case of inhalation :
TOXIC. IF INHALED: Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing. Keep warm at rest. Oxygen or artificial respiration if necessary. Call a POISON CENTER or a doctor. Put under medical supervision. In case of disorders: get to hospital urgently.
In case of skin contact :
TOXIC, IRRITANT. IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of water. Take off immediately contaminated clothes and wash it before reuse. Call a POISON CENTER or doctor if you feel unwell. If skin irritation or rash occurs: Get medical advice/attention. In case of disorders: get to hospital.
In case of eye contact :
IRRITANT. IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for least 15 minutes including under the eyelids. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Don’t let the contaminated water flow enter the non-contaminated eye. If eye irritation persists (redness, pain): Get medical advice/ attention.
In case of ingestion :
TOXIC. IF SWALLOWED: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor. Do NOT induce vomiting. Rinse mouth with water (only if the person is conscious). Do not give anything to eat or drink. Get to hospital urgently.
Protection for rescuers :
For any intervention, protect yourself from direct contact with the product or its vapors.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
If exposed to low concentrations/amounts: Skin dryness. Redness and pain if on skin or eye. Irritating to the respiratory mucosa (itches, cough). Headache, Nausea, Drowsiness. Gastric / intestinal disorders.
If exposed to high concentrations/amounts: CNS depression, Unconsciousness, Cardiac rhythm disorders, Neurological disorders. Adverse effects on liver (cytolysis) and kidney (tubular necrosis). Pulmonary oedema. Possible burns of the cornea.
Chronic Exposure:
May cause cancer (liver tumors).
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Treatment: Do NOT administer catecholamines (because of cardiac sensitization caused by the product).
TOXIC: Safety shower recommended at the workplace.

Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media: Carbon dioxide (CO2), foam, dry powder, water mist.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: High flow water jet.
Special hazard arising from the substance or mixture
In use, may form flammable / explosive vapour-air mixture.
Thermal decomposition into toxic and corrosive products: gaseous hydrogen chloride, Phosgene.
Advice for firefighters
Specific methods of intervention:
In case of fire in the vicinity, remove containers exposed to fire. Remove any source of sparks and ignition - Do not smoke. Air / vapour mixtures are explosive upon strong heating. Closed containers can be cooled by water spray. Collect the contaminated extinguishing water separately, do not discharge it into the drains. Fire residues and contaminated extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
Special actions for the protection of firefighters :
In case of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Protective full suit against chemicals

Protective full suit against chemicals. Avoid all contact with skin, eyes and inhalation of vapour. Remove any source of sparks and ignition - Do not smoke. Wash thoroughly after intervention and wash contaminated clothing.
Precautions for the protection of the environment:
HARMFUL. Do not release in the environment. Do not let product enter drains. Dock with sand or earth (do not use combustible products). Notify the appropriate authorities when the situation can not be controlled quickly and effectively, or if the product contaminates the natural environment.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:
Recovery: Pump into an inert rescue tank. Collect in suitable containers for disposal. Absorb residues with an inert absorbent. For small amounts, remove with an inert absorbent (Vermiculite, clean sand).
Disposal: Dispose of the product by incineration (in accordance with local and national regulations). Provide a smoke neutralization system.
