Skin contact: Wash with soap and plenty of water. Warm water is preferable if readily available.

Eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with water; remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5
minutes, then continue flushing eyes for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention without delay,
preferably from an ophthalmologist. Suitable emergency eye wash facility should be immediately
available.

Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs naturally, have victim lean forward to reduce
risk of aspiration. Seek medical attention immediately.

Advice for firefighters


Fire Fighting Procedures: Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This must not be
discharged into drains. Contain fire water run-off if possible. Fire water run-off, if not contained, may
cause environmental damage.
Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding
environment. Use water spray to cool unopened containers. Collect contaminated fire extinguishing
water separately. This must not be discharged into drains. Remove undamaged containers from fire
area if it is safe to do so. Evacuate area.

Special protective equipment for firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for
firefighting if necessary. Use personal protective equipment.

Individual protection measures


Eye/face protection: Use chemical goggles.
Eye/face protection: Use safety glasses (with side shields).
Skin protection
Hand protection: Use gloves chemically resistant to this material. NOTICE: The selection of a
specific glove for a particular application and duration of use in a workplace should also take into
account all relevant workplace factors such as, but not limited to: Other chemicals which may be
handled, physical requirements (cut/puncture protection, dexterity, thermal protection), potential body
reactions to glove materials, as well as the instructions/specifications provided by the glove supplier.
Other protection: No precautions other than clean body-covering clothing should be needed.
Respiratory protection: Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to exceed
the exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or
guidelines, wear respiratory protection when adverse effects, such as respiratory irritation or
discomfort have been experienced, or where indicated by your risk assessment process. For most
conditions no respiratory protection should be needed; however, if discomfort is experienced, use an
approved air-purifying respirator.
