Inhalation:

Move to fresh air. Oxygen or artificial respiration if needed. Keep under medical surveillance. In case of problems : Hospitalise.

Skin contact: Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water.

Eye contact: Wash well-open eyes immediately and abundantly with water for at least 15 minutes. Consult immediately an ophthalmologist.

Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting, rinse mouth and lips with plenty of water if the subject is conscious, then hospitalize.

Protection of first-aiders: In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Protective suit.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media: Water spray, foam, carbon dioxide or dry powder extinguishers.

Unsuitable extinguishing media: Water jet.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

Thermal decomposition giving toxic products:, carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide

Advice for firefighters:

Specific methods: In case of fire nearby, remove exposed containers. Ensure containers can be rapidly moved. Containers/tanks should be cooled with water spray.

Special protective actions for fire-fighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Evacuate non-essential staff and those not equipped with individual protection apparatus. Prohibit contact with eyes. Avoid contact with skin. Avoid inhalation of vapours. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Do not smoke.

Environmental precautions:
