4. First Aid Measures

Ingestion
Ingestion may cause adverse effects.
Inhalation
When symptoms occur: go into open air and ventilate suspected area. Obtain medical attention if breathing difficulty persists.
Skin Contact
Remove contaminated clothing. Immediately drench affected area with water for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention if irritation develops or persists.

Rinse cautiously with water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Obtain medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
Other Information
First-Aid Measures General : Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If you feel unwell, seek medical advice (show the label where possible).

5. Firefighting Measures

Suitable extinguishing equipment

Fire
  • Suitable Extinguishing Media : Water spray, fog, carbon dioxide (CO₂), alcohol-resistant foam, or dry chemical.
  • Unsuitable Extinguishing Media : Do not use a heavy water stream. Use of heavy stream of water may spread fire.
Large Fire
Carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemical, or any class b agent
HAZCHEM
  • Fire Hazard : Not considered flammable but may burn at high temperatures.
  • Explosion Hazard : Product is not explosive.
  • Reactivity : Hazardous reactions will not occur under normal conditions.
  • Hazardous Combustion Products : Carbon oxides (CO, CO₂).

Special protective equipment and precautions for fire fighters

  • Precautionary Measures Fire : Exercise caution when fighting any chemical fire.
  • Firefighting Instructions : Use water spray or fog for cooling exposed containers.
  • Protection During Firefighting : Do not enter fire area without proper protective equipment, including respiratory protection.
  • Other Information : Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
  • Avoid breathing (vapour, mist, spray). Avoid all contact with skin, eyes, or clothing.
  • General Measures : Avoid breathing (vapour, mist, spray). Avoid all contact with skin, eyes, or clothing.
  • Protective Equipment : Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
  • Emergency Procedures : Evacuate unnecessary personnel.
  • Protective Equipment : Equip cleanup crew with proper protection.
  • Emergency Procedures : Upon arrival at the scene, a first responder is expected to recognise the presence
  • of dangerous goods, protect oneself and the public, secure the area, and call for
  • the assistance of trained personnel as soon as conditions permit. Ventilate area.
Environmental precautions
Prevent entry to sewers and public waters. Avoid release to the environment. Collect spillage.
Methods and materials for containment and clean up
  • For Containment : Contain any spills with dikes or absorbents to prevent migration and entry into sewers or streams.
  • Methods for Cleaning Up : Clean up spills immediately and dispose of waste safely. Absorb and/or contain spill with inert material. Transfer spilled material to a suitable container for disposal. Contact competent authorities after a spill.

7. Handling and Storage

Precautions for safe handling
  • Precautions for Safe Handling : Wash hands and other exposed areas with mild soap and water before eating, drinking or smoking and when leaving work. Avoid prolonged contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing (vapour, mist, spray).
  • Hygiene Measures : Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety procedures.
Conditions for safe storage
  • Technical Measures : Comply with applicable regulations.
  • Storage Conditions : Store in accordance with applicable national storage class systems. Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a dry, cool place. Keep/Store away from direct sunlight, extremely high or low temperatures and incompatible materials.
  • Incompatible Materials : Strong acids, strong bases, strong oxidisers.
