to drink.
Protection of first-aiders : No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without
suitable training.
4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Over-exposure signs/symptoms

Skin contact : No specific data.
Ingestion : No specific data.
4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Suitable extinguishing media : Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire.
Hazards from the substance or : In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the
mixture container may burst.
Special protective actions for : Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the
fire-fighters vicinity of the incident if there is a fire. No action shall be taken
involving any personal risk or without suitable training.
For non-emergency personnel : No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without
suitable training. Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep
unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Do not
touch or walk through spilled material. Avoid breathing vapor
or mist. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate
respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put on appropriate
personal protective equipment (see Section 8).
For emergency responders : If specialized clothing is required to deal with the spillage, take
note of any information in Section 8 on suitable and unsuitable
materials. See also the information in "For non-emergency
personnel".
6.2 Environmental precautions : Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with
soil, waterways, drains and sewers. Inform the relevant
authorities if the product has caused environmental pollution
(sewers, waterways, soil or air).
Small spill : Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area.
Dilute with water and mop up if water-soluble. Alternatively, or
if water-insoluble, absorb with an inert dry material and place
in an appropriate waste disposal container. Dispose of via a
licensed waste disposal contractor.
Large spill : Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area.
Approach release from upwind. Prevent entry into sewers,
water courses, basements or confined areas. Wash spillages
into an effluent treatment plant or proceed as follows. Contain
and collect spillage with non-combustible, absorbent material
e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth and place
in container for disposal according to local regulations.
Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.
Contaminated absorbent material may pose the same hazard
as the spilled product.

Skin protection
Hand protection : Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an
approved standard should be worn at all times when
handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates
this is necessary. For general applications, we
recommend gloves with a thickness typically greater than
0.35 mm. It should be emphasized that glove thickness is
not necessarily a good predictor of glove resistance to a
specific chemical, as the permeation efficiency of the
glove will be dependent on the exact composition of the
glove material.
Other skin protection : Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection
measures should be selected based on the task being
performed and the risks involved and should be approved
by a specialist before handling this product.
