4. First-aid measures
Inhalation Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Call a POISON
CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell.
Skin contact Rinse skin with water/shower. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.
Eye contact Rinse with water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.
Ingestion Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Rinse mouth. Do not induce vomiting. If
vomiting occurs, keep head low so that stomach content doesn't get into the lungs.
Most important Aspiration may cause pulmonary edema and pneumonitis. May cause drowsiness and dizziness.
symptoms/effects, acute and Headache. Nausea, vomiting.

treatment needed
General information IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention. Ensure that medical personnel are aware
of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves. Show this safety data
sheet to the doctor in attendance.
5. Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media Water fog. Foam. Dry chemicals. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide,
sand or earth may be used for small fires only.
Unsuitable extinguishing Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.
media
Specific hazards arising from Contents under pressure. Pressurized container may rupture when exposed to heat or flame. This
the chemical product is a poor conductor of electricity and can become electrostatically charged. If sufficient
charge is accumulated, ignition of flammable mixtures can occur. Static electricity accumulation
may be significantly increased by the presence of small quantities of water or other contaminants.
Material will float and may ignite on surface of water. During fire, gases hazardous to health may
be formed.
Special protective equipment Firefighters must use standard protective equipment including flame retardant coat, helmet with
and precautions for firefighters face shield, gloves, rubber boots, and in enclosed spaces, SCBA.
Fire-fighting In case of fire: Stop leak if safe to do so. Move containers from fire area if you can do so without
equipment/instructions risk. Cool containers exposed to heat with water spray and remove container, if no risk is involved.
Containers should be cooled with water to prevent vapor pressure build up.
General fire hazards Extremely flammable aerosol. Contents under pressure. Pressurized container may rupture when
exposed to heat or flame.
Skin protection
Hand protection Wear protective gloves such as: Nitrile.
Other Wear suitable protective clothing.
Respiratory protection If engineering controls are not feasible or if exposure exceeds the applicable exposure limits, use a
NIOSH-approved cartridge respirator with an organic vapor cartridge. Use a self-contained
breathing apparatus in confined spaces and for emergencies. Air monitoring is needed to
determine actual employee exposure levels.
Thermal hazards Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary.
General hygiene Observe any medical surveillance requirements. When using do not smoke. Always observe good
considerations personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and before eating,
drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment to remove
contaminants.
