First-aid measures

General advice:
Pay attention to self-protection.
Remove victims from hazardous area.
Immediately remove soiled or soaked clothing and remove it to a safe distance.
Keep victim warm, in a stabilized position and covered.
Do not leave victims unattended.
If the casualty is unconscious: Place the victim in the recovery position.

Inhalation:
Potential for exposure by inhalation if dusts or smoke are generated.
Move victims into fresh air.
With labored breathing: Provide with oxygen.
Consult a doctor.
If the casualty is not breathing: Perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, notify emergency physician immediately.

Skin contact:
Wash off affected area immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
If symptoms persist, consult a physician for treatment.

Eye contact:
With eye held open, thoroughly rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 10 minutes.
Inform emergency physician immediately. (key term: caustic eye burn)

Ingestion:
Rinse out mouth.
Immediately give large quantities of water to drink.
Inform emergency physician immediately.

Notes to physician:
The initial focus is only on the local action, characterized by quickly progressing deep tissue damage.
Coughing is a symptom of respiratory tract after inhalation of dusts or smoke from caustic solids.
In the eye, caustic dusts or smoke cause, depending on the intensity of exposure, severe irritation, destruction, and ablation of the epithelium of the conjunctiva and cornea, corneal clouding, edema and ulcerations.
Danger! Possible loss of eyesight!
Superficial irritations and damage up to ulcerations and scarring develop on the skin.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media:
Carbon dioxide (CO2), dry powder, foam.

Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons:
Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.

Specific hazards during fire fighting:
In the case of fire, the following hazardous smoke fumes may be produced: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, flammable smouldering gases,
hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide.
Under certain fire conditions, traces of other toxic products may occur.

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters:
In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Full protective suit.

Further information:
Contaminated extinguishing water must be treated at a suitable disposal plant in accordance with waste management laws.
In case of fire, remove the endangered containers and bring to a safe place, if this can be done safely.
Keep out unprotected persons.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions:
Wear personal protective equipment.
Keep out unprotected persons.
