4. First-aid measures
First-Aid measures
Inhalation : If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Obtain medical attention.
Ingestion : If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Do NOT induce vomiting unless
directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Aspiration hazard if swallowed- can enter lungs and
cause damage. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.
Obtain medical attention. Get medical attention if symptoms appear.
Skin contact : In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Cover the
irritated skin with an emollient. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.
Wash clothing before reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse. Obtain
medical attention.
Eye Contact : Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately
flush eyes with a copious amount of water for at least 15 minutes. Obtain
medical attention.

5. Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing Media
Suitable : SMALL FIRE: Use dry chemical powder or CO2.
LARGE FIRE: Use water spray or fog. Cool containing vessels with water jet
in order to prevent pressure build-up, autoignition or explosion.
Hazardous thermal (de)composition : These products are carbon oxides (CO, CO2) and water.
products
Protection of fire-fighters : Fire fighters should wear self-contained positive pressure breathing apparatus
(SCBA) and full turnout gear.
