Description of first aid measures
| Eye contact | Remove any contact lenses, locate eye-wash station, and flush eyes immediately with large amounts of water. Separate eyelids with fingers to ensure adequate flushing. Promptly call a physician. |
| Skin contact | Rinse skin thoroughly with large amounts of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes and call a physician. |
| Inhalation | Immediately relocate self or casualty to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Avoid mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. |
| Ingestion | Wash out mouth with water; Do NOT induce vomiting; call a physician. |
| Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed | The most important known symptoms and effects are described in the labelling (see section 2.2). |
| Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed | Treat symptomatically. |
Extinguishing media

| Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture |
Highly flammable liquid and vapor. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard.
In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst, with the
risk of a subsequent explosion. The vapor/gas is heavier than air and will spread along
the ground. Vapors may accumulate in low or confined areas or travel a considerable
distance to a source of ignition and flash back.

| Advice for firefighters |
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing.
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if
there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable
training. Move containers from fire area if this can be done without risk. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
|
| Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures |
Use full personal protective equipment. Avoid breathing vapors, mist, dust or gas. Ensure adequate
ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas.
Refer to protective measures listed in sections 8.
|
| Environmental precautions | Try to prevent further leakage or spillage. Keep the product away from drains or water courses. |
| Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up | Absorb solutions with finely-powdered liquid-binding material (diatomite, universal binders); Decontaminate surfaces and equipment by scrubbing with alcohol; Dispose of contaminated material according to Section 13. |
