General advice Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. Immediate medical attention is
required.
Inhalation Remove to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. Get medical
attention immediately. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the
substance; give artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way
valve or other proper respiratory medical device. If breathing is difficult, (trained personnel
should) give oxygen. Delayed pulmonary edema may occur. Get immediate medical
advice/attention. May cause allergic respiratory reaction. Avoid direct contact with skin. Use
barrier to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
Eye contact Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Keep
eye wide open while rinsing. Do not rub affected area. Remove contact lenses, if present
and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Get immediate medical advice/attention.
Skin contact Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated
clothes and shoes. Get immediate medical advice/attention. May cause an allergic skin
reaction.
Ingestion Do NOT induce vomiting. Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get immediate medical
advice/attention. May produce an allergic reaction.
Self-protection of the first aider Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, take precautions to
protect themselves and prevent spread of contamination. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or
clothing. Avoid direct contact with skin. Use barrier to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
Avoid breathing vapors or mists.
Symptoms Burning sensation. May cause allergy or asthma symptoms or breathing difficulties if
inhaled. Coughing and/ or wheezing. Itching. Rashes. Hives. Difficulty in breathing.
Note to physicians Product is a corrosive material. Use of gastric lavage or emesis is contraindicated.
Possible perforation of stomach or esophagus should be investigated. Do not give
chemical antidotes. Asphyxia from glottal edema may occur. Marked decrease in blood
pressure may occur with moist rales, frothy sputum, and high pulse pressure. May cause
sensitization in susceptible persons. Treat symptomatically.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable Extinguishing Media Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the
surrounding environment.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media Caution: Use of water spray when fighting fire may be inefficient.
Specific hazards arising from the The product causes burns of eyes, skin and mucous membranes. Thermal decomposition
chemical can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors. Product is or contains a sensitizer. May
cause sensitization by inhalation and skin contact. May cause sensitization by skin contact.
