See Toxicological information.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Hazards: No data available.

Treatment: Skin and/or eye contact. Flush thoroughly with water for at least 15minutes. Get medical assistance.

Fire-fighting measures

General Fire Hazards: No unusual fire or explosion hazards noted.

Extinguishing media:

Suitable extinguishing media:

Extinguish with foam, carbon dioxide, dry powder or water fog.

Unsuitable extinguishing media:

Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed.

Advice for firefighters:

Special fire fighting procedures: No data available.

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

See Exposure Controls/Personal Protection below. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Keep unauthorized personnel away.

Environmental Precautions:

Avoid release to the environment. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not contaminate water sources or sewer. Environmental manager must be informed of all major spillages.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:

Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Absorb with sand or other inert absorbent.
