4. First aid measures
4.1. Description of first aid measures
General In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Inhalation Remove to fresh air, keep patient warm and at rest. If breathing is irregular or stopped, give
artificial respiration. If unconscious place in the recovery position and obtain immediate
medical attention. Give nothing by mouth.
Eyes Irrigate copiously with clean water for at least 15 minutes, holding the eyelids apart and
seek medical attention.
Skin Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water or use a
recognized skin cleanser.
Ingestion Do NOT induce vomiting. Rinse mouth and slowly drink several glasses of water. Call a
physician. Do NOT give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person.
4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Overview Eye contact: Causes eye burns. Direct eye contact with product or mist may cause redness,
tearing and stinging.
Skin contact: May cause moderate irritation with prolonged or repeated contact.
Inhalation: Breathing high concentrations of vapors or mists may cause irritation of the nose
and throat.
See section 2 for further details.
Eyes Causes serious eye damage.
Skin Causes severe skin burns and eye damage.
Ingestion Harmful if swallowed.
5. Fire-fighting measures
5.1. Extinguishing media
Use waterfog, "alcohol" foam, dry chemical or CO2.
5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Hazardous decomposition: Carbon monoxide and unidentified organic compounds.
Do not breathe mist / vapors / spray.
5.3. Advice for fire-fighters
Firefighter should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Use water to cool enclosed
container.

resistant gloves.
Engineering Controls Provide adequate ventilation. Where reasonably practicable this should be achieved by the
use of local exhaust ventilation and good general extraction. If these are not sufficient to
maintain concentrations of particulates and any vapor below occupational exposure limits
suitable respiratory protection must be worn.
Other Work Practices Use good personal hygiene practices. Wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking or
using toilet. Promptly remove soiled clothing and wash thoroughly before reuse.
