against circulatory shock, respiratory depression and convulsions may be needed.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Not flammable or combustible. Use extinguishing media appropriate for
surrounding fire.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD: May evolve toxic gases or fumes under fire conditions.
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIRE FIGHTING: In case of fire, wear a full face positive-
pressure self contained breathing apparatus and protective suit
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS: Avoid contact with skin and eyes. In case of contact with eyes,
