IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention. |
Section3: First AidMeasures
| Description of first aid measures | |
| Inhalation | Provide fresh air. In case of allergic symptoms, especially in the breathing area, seek medical advice immediately. |
| Eye Contact | In case of contact with eyes flush immediately with plenty of flowing water for 10 to 15 minutes holding eyelids apart and consult an ophthalmologist. |
| Skin Contact | Rinse skin with water/shower. In case of skin reactions, consult a physician. |
| Ingestion | Rinse mouth with water (only if the person is conscious). Call a doctor. |
| General Information | Avoid exposure – obtain special instructions before use. |
Section4:Firefighting Measures
| Suitable Extinguishing Agent | Use appropriate fire suppression agents for adjacent combustible materials
or source of ignition. Use water,dry chemical,chemical foam,carbon dioxide or alcohol resistant foam. |
| Special hazards arising from substances or mixture | Combustion products may include carbon oxides or other toxic vapors.Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors. |
| Advice for firefighters | Use NIOSH-approved respiratory protection/breathing apparatus. |
Section5:Accidental Release Measures
| Personal precautions | Use personal protective equipment as required. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothes. Do not breathe dust. |
| Environmental precautions | Keep away from drains, surface and ground water. Retain contaminated washing water and dispose of it. |
| Methods and materials for containments and cleaning up | Place in appropriate containers for disposal. Ventilate affected area. |
Section 6: Handling and Storage
